I nearly fainted with shock when a blog post entitled Is Calman Dead in the Water appeared in my blog list. Sir Ken Calman is a real human being (and a nice bloke too). When I read the blog headline I was expecting the post to be about the poor man's demise is Loch Ness, Loch Lomond or Scottish Labour's muddy waters.
I am pleased to be able to confirm that Sir Ken is alive and well and labouring (sic) on with his thankless task.
Tory students should think about older readers with heart conditions before posting such outrageous blog titles!

Holtham Calman Confusion!
To celebrate the first birthday of the coalition between Labour and Plaid Cymru, the One Wales Government has announced a commission to investigate how Wales is funded - the Holtham Commission. Hip-Hip Hooray. High Time. I wish the commission all the best!
But according to the BBC, the Holtham Commission will run in parallel with the Calman Commission, which is investigating Scottish devolution!
The Calman Commission is the body set up out of spite by the opposition parties in the Scottish Parliament in order to attempt to undermine Alex Salmond's minority SNP government.
So what on earth is a commission, set up as part of an agreement with Plaid Cymru doing, giving legitimacy to a body that only exists to undermine its sister party in Scotland?
