Courtesy, Respect and Social Media
I’ve really no time for Noon.

That said I’ve no time for this notion that only those who ‘chose to stay in Scotland’ has any bearing on what he says.

What a dumb, pig ignorant thing for a high profile SNP supporter and former Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament to say!
Tricia Marwick was appointed as Chair of Fife Health Board (salary £32,725 for a 3 day week) by SNP ministers when she stood down from the Scottish Parliament in 2016, but her regular public outbursts on social media suggest she's really not up to the job.
Not the first time that @nhsfife chair Tricia Marwick has contravened her Health Board's code of conduct.https://t.co/w59AcuIxZf 'I will treat everyone with courtesy and respect. This includes in person, in writing, at meetings,when I am online and when I am using social media.'

Former SNP MP Guilty (May 12, 2022)
Well it's hardly surprising because all the evidence seemed to point to a guilty verdict, but it is ludicrous that it's taken so long (since 2015) to bring Natalie McGarry to justice.
Politicians, Money and Sense (May 11, 2022)
The news that Tricia Marwick made regular 'cash gifts' to her niece Natalie McGarry just goes to show that some politicians have more money than sense.
Marwick, the former SNP MSP and presiding officer of the Scottish Parliament, is now the Chair of Fife NHS (courtesy of SNP Ministers) and says she gave her niece hundreds of pounds in cash every month or so between April 2013 and November 2015.
Even after Natalie McGarry became an elected SNP MSP in May 2015 - a very highly paid job, of course, at £74,000 a year plus pension benefits and expenses.
All very odd in my view - why would you do such a thing and why would such a lot of money always be handed over in cash?
Natalie McGarry's trial continues at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Matt Le Tissier - He Shoots, He Scores! (May 22, 2020)
I've been broadly supportive of the SNP in recent years, but I find the antics of the 'cybernuts' on social media increasingly embarrassing.
Take this tweet from Tricia Marwick, the former presiding officer of the Scottish Parliament, who describes Matt Le Tissier as a "second rate footballer" for having the temerity to question on Twitter Scotland's handling of the Coronavirus epidemic.
