	McAveety: A Man Or A Blouse? - [Sunday Herald]
		Frank McAveety, the Shettleston MSP, has had his political escutcheon terminally stained by the comments of Sheriff Graeme Warner after a minor court case about an electoral fracas.
		McAveety has come through the hard school of Glasgow Labour politics, a tradition which has nurtured such doughty street- fighters (that was a metaphor, by the way) as Jimmy Wray and Alex Mosson.
		On the occasions I have met Frank McAveety, he does not appear to be a fellow who is frail and easily bruised, not even when people criticise his guitar-playing.
