GiGi Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Regardless of the outcome of the report I'm just not seeing why Sturgeon should resign when UK Govt ministers won't in the face of much more serious breaches. Every time a tory at Holyrood opens their mouth about why she should resign should just be instantly rebutted with asking them to state that Johnson, Patel, Hancock etc, y'know, their bosses, should resign as well. For the sake of openness, consistency and fairness in our 2 parliaments of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I've missed it but when I hear Unionist politicians call for her resignation this blindingly obvious question is never asked in reply and I can't fathom why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tories have also amended the timing of their vote of no confidence. It’ll now take place tomorrow. I mean, the fact that the VONC is already fucking scheduled should be enough to show anyone at all that the Tories don’t actually care what the report says. I realise that most on this forum will be aware of this, but the brassneck of these c***s is absolutely ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone nailed Ross for this last week and he just floundered about predictably. Quite simply, what set of standards are you using when you demand this resignation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's whataboutery that leaves nationalist politicians in the position of defending themselves on the basis that it is OK 'because the Tories do it' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNP politicians saying "Oh but the Tories do it!" is whataboutery. No arguments. Asking for Unionist politicians to explain their own hypocrisy on the matter is not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for Unionist politicians to explain their own hypocrisy on the matter is not. Correct. They are the ones specifying that breach of the ministerial code is a resignation issue. That's a subjective opinion, there's no list of resignation issues, so therefore they need to be asked why it is in some cases but not others, and how much credibility can be placed in the fact that STURGEON MUST RESIGN!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Jim Murphy is a smug, condescending w**k. One of those you got that feeling from instantly when talking to him. Kenny MacAskill was a bit of a sap. Asked him a question once and he just hummed and hawed some non committal before getting one of his team to move me along before I could ask him again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
