I don't know quite what to make of this. I do suspect if was somebody other than Tommy Sheridan there wouldn't have been the vast amount of money thrown at this investigation. Are the establishment so scared of this guy because of his left wing views.

The Socialists wiped themselves out at the last Holyrood elections by indulging in a good old fashioned leftie schism. Actually it was the whole question of whether or not Sheridan was lying about the Manchester sex club that caused it. Several of them went into the witness box to say it was true, others insisted it was false. The libel jury found it was false. Sheridan then left the SSP and formed a rival party. Neither party scored any seats in the subsequent election, which takes some doing under the proportional system used here.
To cut to the quick: I don't think the 'Establishment' - whatever that's supposed to be - has anything to fear from Tommy Sheridan or any of the other clowns he used to associate with.
