Imran Shahid is the monster who tortured 15-year-old Kriss Donald to death in a horrific killing that led to the first ever convictions for racially motivated murder in Scotland.

He is a repulsive individual rightly serving 25 years in prison for his crimes.

But determined to prove what a clown he is, Shahid has taken the prison authorities to court in a bizarre attempt to get his penis-enlargement pump returned to his jail cell.

His reasoning is that the Viagra he was prescribed by a prison doctor makes him feel ill.

The fact that he is in prison to be punished and not to have his sexual desires pandered to by people in authority who should know better seems to have been lost on him.

This frankly ludicrous situation in which this brazen idiot is allowed to indulge himself in court in an attempt to indulge himself in his prison cell is beyond the pale.

Shahid and his accomplices are cowardly killers who fled justice in Britain after their gruesome crime.

They should be given no quarter and no comfort, as they serve their sentence.

Shahid deserves the contempt of the courts and the Scottish community – it is all he has ever shown us.

Rot in hell, Brady

From one monster to another. There will be no music and no ceremony at the funeral of child serial killer Ian Brady.

The Moors murderer had displayed the same narcissistic tendencies in death as he did in life, apparently requesting that his ashes be scattered on the site of his grizzly crimes and that religious music accompany him to the great beyond.

None of these things will happen. His remains will not be scattered on Saddleworth Moor and neither will he find any peace in his native Scotland.

The exact details of his meagre ceremony will not be released.

As far as most people are concerned, Brady’s ashes should be flushed down a drain without as much as a good riddance to accompany them.

Comedy of errors

Another day, another farcical Dad’s Army twist to the Tory Government’s handling of Brexit negotiations.

Now Philip Hammond has described Brussels Brexit negotiators as “the enemy”, all we need is Liam Fox shouting: “Don’t panic” to colleagues and David Davis turning to the Scottish Secretary and ordering him: “Don’t tell them your name, Mundell.”

The Tories are a shower – and the way they are behaving means the country will be taken to the cleaners.
