David Rizzio, the private secretary to Mary Queen of Scots, was murdered and later portrayed as a political scapegoat. His death was likely a result of complex political tensions surrounding the queen, rather than personal motives alone. Recent discussions highlight how Rizzio's killing was used to shift blame and manipulate political narratives. Meanwhile, other news includes a Labour conference perceived as disconnected from Scottish concerns and a local crime investigation in West Dunbartonshire involving a suspect in a balaclava.
