The SNIP

[Dando]

At least we know what the N in the SNP really means

If you give the likes of the SNP enough rope they'll hang themselves.......sit back and enjoy the demise of the wicked witch

Your not allowed to call the vertically challenged former kids tv presenter any names as the pant wetting snowflakes don’t like it and complain yet their free to say what they want about Boris, trump and anyone else they don’t like!

 

[Dando]

OK - he did the right thing.

But I'll note that I used the word 'decent' in respect of his resignation in accordance with the following definition

of an acceptable standard; satisfactory.

rather than what I think you were taking from it

conforming with generally accepted standards of respectable or moral behaviour.

I think we can agree that the speed of his resignation was (if nothing else) satisfactory.

It’s a shame the idiot has only suspended him while they investigate!
He’d admitted it and there’s proof so not sure what she’s investigating

Should be sacked immediately as an MSP for not upholding the standards required of an elected public figure.

 

[SocketRocket]

I don't know whether they should or not...that's why I'm asking the question..

If it was our 16 year old son we would want it investigated.

 

[Dando]

Come on, this is a non political thing, could and does happen in ever walk of life and all the main political parties have had their fair share of scandal.

Guy is married with 2 kids yet seems to be interested in older boys or men suggests he's living a lie, some like David Mundell addressed their sexuality, others can't and hide in relationships. As the person is 16 it does of course seem wrong as the age makes it look like grooming but legally there is not an issue. Think of his poor wife and kids in this, The Sun will make things horrific for them.

Most people had never heard of this guy before today.

Are you for real or is this a sick joke?

Some very interesting articles about the age group that falls between the cracks where sexual grooming is concerned, i.e. 16 and year olds. They are not adults, they are still children is the main theme in several articles and education papers, including a report in Hansard. The consensus also touched on a belief by some adults that once someone reaches 16 they are fair game.

When a mature adult chases after a 16/17 year old, especially one still at school, there's something seriously wrong with their mindset. As blunt as it seems, its sexual grooming. Dress it up any way you like, hide behind the "he's 16" if it suits your own mindset, but its still sick.

Perhaps we should consider the words of Joanna Cherry QC, "he's guilty of grooming behaviour"...………….. by the way, she's a SNP MSP.

A lot of my Scottish friends refer to her as "The Nippy Wee Sweetie" (not meant as a compliment).

 

[Jacko_G]

I do not see his resignation as decency!

Perhaps it's because you are rather bitter and twisted when it comes to anything SNP!

 

[HankMarvin]

Absolute disgusting what this man has been doing and lets just hope losing his job is just the start of things.

This guy was being primed to take over from sturgeon , makes you question what other stuff is being hidden after both him and Alex have been found out.

Absolutely shocking

100% correct

 

[Jacko_G]

I wonder just how much Sturgeon was aware of the alleged things Salmond was up to and whether she knew about this moron as well?

If she had any inkling and kept it schtum them its should be the end of her.

Seriously man grow up!

Do you know who in your office/organisation is having affairs or who is texting/emailing in contact with who???

What is Doon’s view?

Blinkered?

 

[User62651]

Agree he should lose MSP job, untenable position anyway, however that role quickly gets filled by another and politics and newspapers moves on. These scandals involving individuals don't derail whole political parties (leader excepted) no matter how much opponents want it to. Politicians aren't role models for anyone anymore, they're faceless so replaceable.

 

[toyboy54]

A bit on the bitter side tonight are you not Dando??We may have voted for them-doesn't mean we support them(I've made clear in other posts that I couldn't vote my usual Labour because of Corbyn and the rabid far left nor could I consider the CONparty!
But yes!he should be hunted.
I know that if he was talking/grooming any kid of mine(don't have any,thank goodness)then I would certainly be wanting a Quiet word with him in a nice deserted alley to mm,how to put this politely?Oh yes!Got it!We could spend a nice 10/15/20 minutes discussing ways to be a bit more selective in who he communicates with and their age range! No doubt he'll have a costly comprehensive healthcare package anyway paid for by us mugs-the taxpayer(No waiting in any queues for him then unlike the plebbs!!
Happy Jimbo

I am not bitter or twisted they are.

Agree with you regards Mackays antics, how could she possibly know what he was up to and for me she has nothing to answer for.

i do think the Salmond case could be another story....

Sad (bad) . Hard to post thoughts, without getting attacked either way. He's been dumped by NS so at least she's shown she can make good decisions quickly.

This is not exactly an example of good leadership by NS. She had zero choice to make.

Hopefully she will be forced to resign next. ;-)
