welshbairn Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Am I right in thinking she just got the names mixed up with someone who did deny the Holocaust? Unfortunate mistake but not as bad as a full blown lie to your electorate on the eve of an election, whatever the lawyers say.

Unfortunate mistake but not as bad as a full blown lie to your electorate on the eve of an election, whatever the lawyers say.I think if your the one wrongly accused of being a Holocaust denier i think it probably is as bad and possibly worse.Shes an idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC90 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I was reading the last page thinking that Ad Lib was meaning that Mcgarry had admitted to wrongdoing with regards to her financial dealings and then realised he's actually talking about her saying sorry to JK Rowling 😂 Oh Ad Lib, what a mess you have become. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotSquid Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 The SNP need to get better at vetting their candidate . We've had Bill Walker, McGarry, Michelle Thomson, Lyle, Cunningham, John Mason and the other bigots, plus embarrassments like Wishart. Surely they can do much better than these goons. Someone should be getting their arse kicked for allowing McGarry to stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's been said previously that given the sudden rise in popularity there was always the possibility that some less desirable candidates would slip through the net. Hopefully this will be addressed. Doesn't excuse John Mason though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTG_03 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 McGarry appears to be a complete and utter muppet. Neverending string of controversies, she is most definitely a hindrance to the SNP. They'd be wise to get shot of her at the earliest opportunity before she does any more damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 She is a complete idiot and the SNP need shot of her in my opinion. She should be a Tory with all the controversies and monies going missing. Will the SNP have to wait until next election in 2020 (I think) to get rid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 The SNP have suspended her. Like many similar organisations they will wait until the results of criminal investigations or employment processes to be completed before expulsion. Its easier than conducting your own investigations. The SNPs candidate selection has been completely revamped since the Westminster elections. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the people named so far haven't been on the approved list for years. To take McGarry as an example though I'm not sure what you would do to exclude her in a reasonable selection process. It's not like they have the resource to do full psychological screening of every candidate and I doubt she would answer affirmatively if asked if she was a thief. Mason though.

FFS Yeah, its not so much that they could have known she was a tea leaf. But they could and should have known that she was a fucking idiot. You only need to listen to her for 5 seconds to get that. Mason, Roseanna Cunningham, Fergus Ewing and the likes have never hid their bigotry, yet the SNP not only put them up for election, but in some cases put them in cabinet positions. Its a pretty grim situation. They need to do an awful lot better with the screening questions, including a basic competency type interview which should have ruled out the till dipper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Ewing, Cunningham and Mason just God botherers?In which case this is usually a real plus for prospective MPs. Going by Westminster, the PM down there is always expected to be tacitly religious.

Will the SNP have to wait until next election in 2020 (I think) to get rid? The SNP can expel her anytime they like. She's still an elected MP though, the SNP expelling her won't change that. MPs are elected as individuals so changing parties, being expelled etc doesn't make any difference to her status as an MP. An MP who is sentenced to be imprisoned for a year loses their seat. I don't think that's ever been enforced - Chris Huhne "resigned" his seat before he was sentenced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Natalie McGarry has been charged with fraud. ETA - She's actually been charged with embezzlement, breach of trust and breach of the Indyref Act. It relates to money missing from both Women For Independence and the Glasgow Regional SNP Association. No word on date for a court appearance etc. Not sure what the penalties are for these offences either, maybe legal eagles could advise.

She's married to a tory so it can't be that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
