SNP - Mired in Scandal and Sleaze

I wonder if we might hear from the SNP MSP Kenny Gibson regarding the sexual harassment complaint against his wife, Patricia Gibson, the SNP MP - the party does seem to be mired in scandal and sleaze these days.

 

God Above, Scot Nats! (November 19, 2021)

The Scottish nationalists are a pretty rum bunch these days, are they not?

Turns out the SNP leader of Clackmannanshire Council, Ellen Forson, appeared in the news recently after a trip to Costa Rica with an SNP MSP, Kenny Gibson, and without the knowledge of his wife, Patricia Gibson, as SNP MP at Westminster.

"An SNP worker whose secret tryst with a married Nats MSP was exposed is poised to land a top council job.

"It’s believed Ellen Forson, 43, will be proposed as the Clackmannanshire authority’s leader." 

 

Government By Gang? (April 04, 2022)

I think it's fair to say the SNP treats Scottish local government with near contempt these days - it's almost as if they feel untouchable, as if they can do what they like.

Because after 15 years of SNP rule Scotland's local councils have lost their once powerful voice and standards of behaviour have dropped to an all time low.

So much so that Scotland's justice secretary, Keith Brown, sees no conflict of interest in employing the Leader of Clackmannanshire Council as his Office Manager. 

 

God Above, Scot Nats! (December 13, 2021)

The SNP's deputy leader and justice minister, Keith Brown, told The National newspaper the other day that the behaviour of the Tory government will push more people into voting Yes.

Asked about stories of corruption and MPs' second jobs, Brown said: 

“I do think there’s a particular group of former No voters, people who voted No in 2014, who have just been appalled by what they’ve seen as almost like the disintegration of the British state." 

Keith's having a laugh, surely, especially after the news that the local SNP council leader has a second job as his Office Manager in Clackmannanshire?

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

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
