SNP - Mired in Scandal and Sleaze

The SNP are a rum lot these days are they not?

Full of righteous indignation when it suits their purpose, but willing to turn a blind eye when it's the SNP's own behaviour that comes under scrutiny.

 

Government By Gang? (April 04, 2022)

 

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

Yet after 15 years of SNP rule Scottish local government has lost its 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?
