More Millions Down The Drain

Another £5 million goes down the drain just days after the SNP transport minister, Graeme Dey, stands down for health related reasons.

Yet Graeme stays on as the MSP for Angus South.

The First Minister thanks Graeme Dey for his work as Transport Secretary

Graeme Dey has been virtually invisible since being appointed as Scotland's transport minister just 8 months ago and, unsurprisingly, failed to make any impression on the big issues including the fiasco of the 'ghost ferries' at Ferguson Marine.

So if he's not fit to continue in a cushy junior ministerial job, how is he fit to stay on as an MSP? 

Resigned to Staying (January 24, 2022)

Something doesn't ring true here!

Scotland's transport minister Graeme Dey resigns from his job for health related reasons yet he does not resign as the MSP for Angus South.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P
