Scottish Spring

A fast and extremely wet 30 minute run, reflecting on the mixed delights of this Scottish Spring.
What is happening in Scotland may not be equal to what has been happening in the Middle East – after all, we are not trying to overthrow a brutal dictatorship, just a self-serving hypocritical bureaucracy run by inexperienced elitists. However, since the election of last week, the Scottish leaders of all 3 major London-based political parties have announced their resignation, without a shot being fired !
Less encouragingly, there has still been no news of the Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei since he was arrested on 9 April. Adrian Searle has written a comprehensive account of the situation in the Guardian and there is a substantial online petition addressed to the Chinese Ministry of Culture - please sign it if you are concerned.
