Talk:Michael Russell (Scottish politician)

message: Why does Michael Russell automatically go this fellow's article? Is he more important than the others? That's not really fair. I think typing Michael Russell should go straight to the disambiguation page.

*Support - I didn't even realise Mike wasn't his official name, he's never referred to Scotland as anything but in my experience. Akerbeltz (talk) 15:22, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Does he speak Gaelic fluently? If so, does he use it publicly? The article notes that he has been Minister for Gaelic, so his use of the language would be important and relevant. Some information on activities here would be very welcome. --Doric Loon (talk) 09:28, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: All I know is that he took his parliamentary oath in English, Scots and Gaelic. So we at least know he can read Gaelic. ;) I imagine he probably does speak it but I've never seen him do it publicly, nor on twitter for that matter.

replies: text: He's more or less fluent, even held a speech to the EU in Gaelic (see ). Akerbeltz (talk) 18:08, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gaelic 

message: The figure was born in England but is long term resident and an active politician in Scotland. Disagreement as to whether the subject should be placed in categories such as English writers in addition to the existing Scottish categories. Some additional opinions would be good.

thread_title:  England related categories 

message: Critics term Russell "The Bromley Brayer" in references to English birth and his frequent vocal opinions.
No objection if that needs to stay out due to blp concerns but the English birth thing is something various people bring up when critical of Russell so some mention seems relevant(the birth place thing is present in Obama's article isnt it?). A Galloway article is along the same lines."The long-running radio equivalent of Question Time was in The Highlands so of course a collection of Sporrans had to be assembled.
(Russell is an Englishman and all the evidence is that Highlanders groan just as loudly when Newsnight morphs into its White Heather Club alter-ego Newsnicht as any other thinking people in Scotland)."RafikiSykes (talk) 17:46, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
