Glasgow, Sex Pests and the SNP












 









The SNP's woeful handling of the sex pest affair involving Patrick Grady - the SNP MP for Glasgow North - is another good reason to boot him and the SNP out of Glasgow on July 4th. 

SNP and Sex Pests - Zero Tolerance My Arse! (March 12, 2023)


Here's a series of posts from the blog archive which prove the SNP's claim to be a party of 'zero tolerance' on sexual harassment is just bunkum, political spin and hot air.

SNP, Sex Pests and Zero Tolerance (December 30, 2022)

Nicola Sturgeon praises Westminster for issuing an SNP MP with a paltry two-day suspension from the House of Commons after he was found to have made an 'unwanted sexual advance' towards a young member of staff.

The SNP itself took no action against the perpetrator, Patrick Grady, but sent his young victim, a party employee, to Coventry! 

Zero Tolerance and 'Wheeshting For Indy' (July 24, 2022)

 

The SNP's policy of 'zero tolerance' look like empty words  after its embarrassing handling of the Patrick Grady affair. 

The party hierarchy's instinct is to close ranks instead of investigating allegations speedily, without fear or favour, and this 'wheeshting for indy' nonsense is part of the problem.


SNP's Shameful Gagging Clause (July 08, 2022)

The young victim of the Patrick Grady sex pest scandal says the party's handling of the situation puts the SNP to shame.

I couldn't agree more and it's high time the SNP's absurd 'wheeshtingforindy' gagging clause on party activists was put to the sword. 


  

SNP Politicians - Speaking Up vs 'Wheeshtingforindy' (July 04, 2022)

What strikes me about the latest sexual harassment stories at Westminster is that Conservative MPs seem to speak up about alleged bad behaviour by fellow MPs.  

Whereas SNP MPs seem to clam up and and 'wheeshtforindy' - apart from one courageous SNP member, of course, who leaked the recording of nationalist MPs rallying round a perpetrator while showing no concern for the victim. 

So what does this say about the culture inside the SNP that the leaker had to act anonymously, presumably  because of the risk of reprisals and punishment from the SNP party hierarchy?

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P

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 - 'Mr&Mrs' Politburo

Image
Jim Sillars is spot on about the dreadful personality cult which allowed Peter Murrell and Nicola Sturgeon to run the SNP as a 'Mr & Mrs' tag team for years. What's astonishing is that SNP members - party activists, councillors, MSPs and MPs - turned a blind eye to things for so long  which helps explain why the SNP is in such a terrible mess today.
