Sorry Not Sorry?
"I’ve received no private apology from Ian, and was given no advanced sight of this public apology"https://t.co/5JiSjPeH2H

SNP leaders rushed out an apology from Ian Blackford in the hope of killing off the Patrick Grady sex pest scandal, but it just seems to have made matters worse.
Understandably the focus is now shifting to the SNP's handling of this shameful affair over several years.
For example, Ian Blackford could not have taken any sensible or professional advice over the private meeting between the complainer and Grady which was highly inappropriate and looks like an 'ambush.
Because the complainer should have been given notice of the meeting, a prior explanation of its purpose and been informed of his right to be properly represented.
Some outstanding issues here I think:

Why did Blackford have the complainer come to his office alone to be confronted by a crying Grady?
What process did he think he was following in doing so and what advice did he seek?
Why was Grady promoted while this was all unresolved? https://t.co/IU02yJHIvn
