St Bob under tentative attack

Amazingly, Scottish Questions at Westminster is the subject of the Telegraph's parliamentary sketch. It features Eleanor Laing's first performance in her new role as shadow secretary of state, launching a less than ferocious attack on St Bob:

"One could not help admiring Mrs Laing for her courage. It is simply not done, in this age of deference, to attack a leading member of the rock aristocracy, or to question his judgment. Geldof, Bono and Sting may widely be regarded as three of the most conceited buskers on the planet, but who in public life would dream of saying so?
Even the doughty Mrs Laing felt obliged to couch her criticism in the most sycophantic terms: "Though we all adore Sir Bob Geldof and applaud his good intentions and all that he has done for Africa and the publicity he has brought to a cause which we all believe in, the idea of flooding Edinburgh with a million protesters is simply not a good one."
Leaving on one side Mrs Laing's absurd claim that we all "adore" "Sir" Bob, let us concentrate on her attempt to save Edinburgh from flooding. We have no doubt that in Edinburgh itself, her campaign will receive a certain amount of support, since its people have long suffered an annual invasion by fringe playwrights, an experience which has tended to put them off receiving too many visitors at any one time."
