Hypocritical Labour Hack Laments

Thomas Graham, a prominent Labour hack and President of Edinburgh University Students Association has been forced to grovel after a stunning drunken outburst, as reported here first on Sunday. Edinburgh newspaper The Journal has

caught up with the story
:
"Witnesses say he became aggressive and made some “inappropriate comments” towards door staff before being forcibly ejected.
“I have apologised for my behaviour to the staff involved in this regrettable incident. I accept full responsibility for my actions; clearly my behaviour was not acceptable. I will ensure that it does not happen again.” Vice President of Services James Wallace said: "I cannot comment specifically on this incident. But I have full confidence in the staff and security who did an exceptional job on Saturday night.""
Ouch. Sadly no mention of the assault witnesses confirmed to TB though.

One thing that had to make TB laugh is just how hypocritical, in line with his true colours, Thomas Graham has been about all this.
Another story
from The Journal from September aes for an interesting read these days:
"The head of EUSA has criticised the university's student Conservative association following the chairman's run-in with the police last week for drunken misconduct.President Thomas Graham told The Journal: “It is clear that the Conservative Club have not changed their attitude towards Scotland’s drink culture and have let the Students' Association down.”
Thomas Graham, President of EUSA, expressed his disappointment to The Journal, saying: “He is an individual student in a position of responsibility and we are very disappointed he has decided to act in this way. “We feel sorry for the Conservative Club who have to begin the year dealing with this. It is a great disappointment especially after the success of Edinburgh’s Fresher’s Week which had such an emphasis on non-alcohol related events.""
Well worth a
read
. Those who laugh last...

This is not the first time Thomas has let personal matters effect his decision making - he is one of the leading campaigners to get rid of urinals despite the fact it is well known that he prefers to sit down to pee!

He tell us its just easier.... but sources formally close to Mr Graham provide other explanations.
