'It may have come as no surprise to learn that Gordon Brown tried to fix the result of the Holyrood election. Do bears defecate in afforested areas? Nevertheless, it's rare in politics to have conspiracy theories confirmed so soon after the event. It will now go down in Nationalist mythology that Gordon Brown launched a plot to overturn the democratic will of the Scottish people, like some unionist Robert Mugabe.' Iain Macwhirter in the Herald, 9 th March 2008.
