Walt gets patronage, but the Dalai disnae.

So Wee Eck decided it was more important to pitch up at the Hollywood premiere of the latest Disney fairytale cartoon, resplendent in his tartan trews, than it was to receive the Dalai Lama on his visit to Scotland this week. But then the flame-haired heroine of the computer-generated pseudo-Caledonian fantasy (who, puzzlingly, seems to be named after a town in Spain) is according to Slate, a disappointingly stereotypical redhead: "rebellious, quick to yell, obstinate, easily offended." Sounds more like a stereotypical SNP supporter to me, frankly. No wonder he's so keen on the film.
