Bitter/sweet

“Do you feel bitter about how the SNP have treated you?”, a Council colleague asked.

You must be joking. A long time ago I learned the maxim “If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out”.

Being stuffed by ‘colleagues’ in politics is part of the game, and I’m never going to complain. That’s doesn’t mean I’ll take it lying down.

If I have burnt my bridges it is due to adhering to principles, and failing to be a yes-man.
