SNP - Soft On Crime, Soft On The Causes Of Crime

The Sunday Mail reports that an alleged teenage rapist has avoided justice because of SNP government guidelines which offer 'low-level offenders' an alternative to prosecution.

But quite how the crime of rape falls into the category of 'low-level' is beyond me as well as the young woman complainer who said:

“I feel totally let down. Due to these guidelines, he’ll never see a day in court.

“What happened to me is something I think about every single day. It changed me but he is allowed to get on with his life."

The young woman's mother explained:

“The police came to the house and read a letter from the prosecutor.

“It said despite there being ‘sufficient evidence for him to serve a custodial sentence’ he was being offered this diversion.

“The police officers told us they had never heard of this being used in a rape case. One officer said police would find it difficult in future to deal with young rape victims knowing this was an option for their attackers."

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened.

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
