Scottish Labour Leader Should Apologise

Scottish Labour Leader Iain Gray MSP has offended the ambassador of Montenegro after he claimed the country took part in ethnic cleansing at First Minister's Questions.

The Ambassador, Marijana Zivkovic, chargé d'affaires at the Montenegro embassy in London, has rebuked him over the comments he made at Holyrood on 23 December. In a letter, she expressed her "deep regret" about the way he depicted the country.

She wrote: "Your statement that Montenegro was involved in 'ethnic cleansing', including your references to 'a war crimes tribunal and a UN peacekeeping mission' is simply incorrect"

This is not the only time Iain Gray MSP has offended other Nations. Mr Gray has criticised and insulted friendly, neighbouring, independent states and, with his former superior, Secretary of State for Scotland, Jim Murphy, was taken to task by the Norwegian ambassador for their criticisms of Norway in the past.

If Iain Gray is serious about becoming First Minister, he needs to get his act together as he is currently an embrassment to Scotland.
