Sturgeon, Hypocrisy and Selective Outrage


Nicola Sturgeon speaks out over Jeremy Clarkson and Meghan Markle, but had nothing to say about the ugly campaign of abuse against her SNP colleague Joanna Cherry or JK Rowling, one of the world's best known authors.

How very odd.

Even more odd is the fact that Nicola Sturgeon had words of comfort and support for her friend Janey Godley when the comedian was exposed over a series of racist tweets. 

  

 

Abuse, Hypocrisy and the First Minister (October 19, 2021)

The First Minister expressed public concern for Janey Godley
over the abuse she received after the comedian's behaviour on social media, which included racist tweets, was exposed.

Yet the First Minister had nothing to say about the vile treatment and threats of violence made against JK Rowling and/or Joanna Cherry, an SNP MP.

What terrible hypocrisy.

  

Shocking Silence From SNP Politicians (August 12, 2021)

JK Rowling, one of Scotland's best known, most successful authors, receives vile misogynistic abuse and numerous death threats on social media - yet Nicola Sturgeon has nothing to say in public at least.

Something is clearly very wrong at the heart of the Scottish Government.  



   

JK Rowling, Death Threats and the Sound of Silence (July 21, 2021)

I really do find it astonishing that JK Rowling, one of Scotland's best known, most successful authors, is bombarded with vile abuse and ugly death threats - yet Scotland's First Minister has nothing to say.

  

Shocking Silence From SNP Politicians (July 20, 2021)

Shocking news about death threats directed at Scotland's JK Rowling - and not a word from leading SNP politicians including the First Minister!

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.

SNP Hypocrites Have No Shame

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

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
