Today at The Scotsman we'll be talking by-elections, George Galloway and, of course, more on that Willy Wonka experience (the internet has already crossed the by-election and Wonka stories, naturally). It's an off week for the Six Nations but that doesn't mean our coverage is slowing down and you can subscribe to get all the team has too offer right now, start your subscription from as little as £1 for your first month.
