Not A Good Look!

 
Not a good look for the Scottish Government that on the day Scotland's census crashed and burned the minister overseeing the whole sorry affair (Angus Robertson) was swanning around in Brussels instead of tending the shop.

PS Who knows why the wackadoodle Lorna Slater from the Greens was there either?

 

Census Shambles and Baloney Threats (May 22, 2022)


I received a silly letter from the Scottish Government the other day about their dumb census - which is costing us all a small fortune.

The threat of a fine is, of course, complete baloney.

Because while the Scottish Government says they have not received a completed questionnaire - this does not amount to evidence the document has not been completed sent in. 

Census Madness = Incompetent Government (April 30, 2022)


I don't see how anyone can be threatened seriously with a fine for not returning their census form. 

Because all people need to say is that they returned the paperwork - since there is no way of proving otherwise.

The underlying problem is that Scottish Ministers have got people's backs up by politicising the census with daft questions about trans issues.

And their insistence on holding a separate Scottish census has already cost the public purse an extra £20 million - plus another £10 million as a result of extending the deadline to the end of May rather than 1st May.

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.

Hi. https://t.co/yuA2cY109e — Brian Spusk (@BrianSpanner1) December 16, 2022 Brian Spanner (aka Brian Spusk) shares a tweet from the SNP's chief executive and husband of SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon) criticising secretive party donations. What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
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
