Jack reminisces about George
In an interview to be shown on BBC Alba on Monday at 10pm, Jack McConnell speaks about his time as First Minister. During the interview he refers to the accident George Bush had on his mountain bike in Gleneagles:
Jack: "That night I asked him, 'How did the mountain biking go?'
George: 'I'm all bandaged up', and he showed me his back and he had a big red mark. I said, 'What's happened?' and he said, 'We were up in the hills, me with two of my security men, three of us on bikes coming down the hill at great speed and we turned a corner and this policeman was standing in the middle of the path and I've gone right into him, over the top of my handlebars and he got knocked out and he's in hospital in Perth'.
Jack: "So I said, 'Mr President, I've had two days of 2,000 anarchists in Edinburgh trying to knock out a Scottish policeman and they never managed it, and you were here for two hours and you did it'.
