Calling Out Glasgow's MSPs



I have nothing against the SNP, quite the opposite in fact.

 I am not an SNP member, or a dyed-in-the-wool supporter although I have tended to back the party in various local and national votes in recent years.

 But I do find it most peculiar that not a single one of the City's 8 constituency MSPs could find the time to come along to last week's historic march and rally in Glasgow in support of Equal Pay.

 Now this can't have been just down to coincidence, if you ask me, their absence had to be an organised 'boycott'.

 Which is a great pity as it was a heaven sent opportunity to discuss the issues surrounding the strike with the claimants directly and put to bed all these made conspiracy theories about politically motivated strikes and impostors being bussed up from 'Engerland' to undermine the SNP.

 Here's what some regular readers had to say:

They will of course in time rewrite history telling us all of their attendance and support for a noble cause

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
