And are you still defending the Labour Government's involvement in rendition flights?

Think you find it was the US goverment who had the flights not the Labour government. As you fine well know I am not defending rendition flights.

With the full compliance of the Labour government, dear oh dear. It was laughable Reid picketing outside the hospital when he was in the Cabinet and may even have been Health Secretary at the time. and they wonder why so many people have turned their backs on Labour, corrupt, duplicitous and two faced and that is just their stronger points.

Reid was home secretary also Health is a devolved issue. Its laughable that Labour politician get criticized for not standing up their constituents then when they do they still criticized.

As for your comments who, where and when as for corruption?

Yup, sad news regarding John MacDougall's death. Don't know much about him but mesothelioma sounds horrible and it seems he has suffered for some time. RIP.

On the political side of things, it could be another very interesting contest.

I know it is a devolved issue but does the Scottish Labour party do anything without approval from London. It was so contrived it was pathetic.

Corruption take your pick, cash for honours, sucking up to big business, Bendy Wendy, PFI deals, the war in Iraq etc, etc, etc, etc. New Labour have been a very poor imitation of the tories with even more sleaze. They have no attachment with working people because they can see through their empty promises.

SNP on 44% in a poll released today. :thumbsup:

again cash for honours :dunno: no one in court so not guilty
PFI deal bad judgement but not corrupt
war in Iraq not corrupt wrong yes
Bendy wendy witch hunt by Nat's. actually bad for parliament
sucking up is not corruption just wrong way to go.

As for John MacDougall's death. sad loss for the people of fife. RIP comrade.

"no one in court so not guilty" - you have got to be joking with that comment. With respect Lucky, it seems very naive to me. Every time a scandal showing up the benefits and double standards of our politicians breaks, it only breaks because someone dug it up and exposed it. Otherwise, there are countless deals being done, pockets being lined and principles being bought and sacrificed for the right price

To link in with your 3rd comment, you say that the war in Iraq was 'wrong', but those those responsible are not "in court" are they? Not guilty?

Wendy's pathetic refusal to accept any kind of responsibility for breaking the rules regarding donations didn't wash with me, I'm afraid, and I don't agree that the loss of someone like that from parliament is at all a bad thing. She got caught, that's all and couldn't accept she had brought it upon herself with her actions. It wasn't the SNP who accepted thousands of pounds and didn't declare it on time, after withdrawing and spending it, it was her. Her inability to accept her guilt just re-inforced how unaccountable many of these so-called 'servants of the people' think they are.

Cash honours no one has been found guilty over it. The original claim was corruption there is no proof of it. Naive don't think so just correct.
War in Iraq was wrong. The PM misled the country over the reason for the war. Parliament voted for it.
Wendy followed the advice she was given by the parliament standards office who then change their minds over it she then declared it. But as much as she was hounded out it will be to Labours long term benefit. Now that the Nat's have set the rules just wait on one of them making the same mistake.
