Here's a surprise (I was long ago told that irony and sarcasm don't work in print but what the hell, I'm still using it):

Former socialist MSP Tommy Sheridan has vowed to clear his name after being charged with perjury.

The charges against Mr Sheridan relate to a police inquiry into his defamation case against the News of the World. 

You can already write the identikit response. So I'm waiting with baited breath for the first blog to write that no socialist is ever allowed to take on the establishment and win, and this is simply revenge.
