Nothing To Do With Me, Guv!

The position of Nicola Sturgeon's administration is that how Scottish ministers behave on social media has nothing to do with her or the Scottish Government.

Which is absurd, of course, because Scottish ministers are not free to behave as they like and if they overstep the mark in their private lives, for example, they face the sack, as we found out when Derek Mackay, the SNP's finance minister, was forced to resign after sending inappropriate texts to a 16-year-old schoolboy.

My original complaint about Humza Yousaf related to his 'live' Twitter attacks on fellow MSPs while the Holyrood Inquiry was in session, taking evidence and questioning witnesses in a committee room at the Scottish Parliament.

So it's just a lie to say that the private behaviour of MSPs and minister is a not a matter for the First Minister or the Scottish Government - on social media or anywhere else.

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...
