Cry-baby Paxman's put his foot in it again

JEREMY PAXMAN has put his foot in it again about Scotland.

He seems to love winding us up - first by comparing Scots in the Westminster Cabinet to the Raj ruling India and now he's called Robert Burns "sentimental doggerel".

We shouldn't get too upset...he's just can't be very bright.

Jezza may have made a career out of being rude to politicians but most folk could do that in the street any day and its obvious he just doesn't understand Burns' social, political and emotional writings.

Is this the same tough guy Paxman who blubbed on our TV screens during his search for his ancestors in Who Do You Think You Are?

I remember him weeping when he discovered his great-grandmother died in abject poverty in the east end of Glasgow. Sentimental?
