"Will Mr Gibson give his wife a telling off?"

The 'Gibsons' are fast becoming the most entertaining act in the Largs and Millport Weekly News.
This week, on page 4, we have Mr Gibson (MSP) criticising Tory Westminster candidate Philip Lardner for saying the SNP at Holyrood shouldn't punish reasonable drinkers with inflated prices in order to supposedly punish the few who abuse alcohol. According to Mr Gibson, because Mr Lardner wants to be our MP in London, he shouldn't be commenting upon issues devolved to the Scottish Parliament.
Then, I turn to page 24, where I find Mrs Gibson (our MSP's wife) who is also, like Mr Lardner, a Westminster Candidate - in her case for the SNP. Mrs Gibson was very keen to share with us her deep concerns over debates between Labour MSPs and the SNP at Holyrood about a boiler scrappage scheme which, of course, relates exclusively to Scotland and is therefore a devolved issue!
Will Mr Gibson be giving his wife a telling off? I hope this does not lead to spat over their dinner table, but I do look forward to their next comic installment in the News!
