    Whoever do you mean? Sounds like a real Percy Sugden.
    I know you're ex forces and I enjoy reading your well balanced posts, but it's def not you that I was referring to in my original post 👍

    I don’t trawl or search, stories pop up on newsfeed and like many on here I share on this board. But again you were straight on the defence, with the tactic of attacking the poster, namely me, as an obsessive for sharing a link at the same time condemning the action of sex pest.

    I've got things to do so I'll make this my last post on this topic.

    I read quite a lot of sports/ news and current affairs online but I don't get any popups about sex pests.
    We are obviously miles apart on what we consider to be normal news reading material or forum posting behaviour.

    Anyway, I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next story about sex pests that you post on here after it pops up in your news feed.

    I very much doubt it, all I have read is what was in the article and I assume he was required to resign.
    He resigned in 2018 after giving someone a slap. He was an independent since then and bumped by the electorate not long after IIRC.

    He was also given short shift on here for having a go at Hibs a few years ago for not paying staff the living wage. It wasn't true, he just never bothered finding out before he went to the press.

    His cafe on Easter Road was a miserable wee place. It's neither wonder it failed.

    He seems to be a bit of an asshole.

    I vaguely recall that account in the press about the allegation that Hibs were not paying staff the living wage…did not realise it was the same person.

    I'm suggesting nothing even remotely close to what you just said, but I think you already know that.

    I'd say anyone who can read this forum is likely to be more than capable of reading their own news stories and forming their own opinions of sex pests, or indeed of any other topic.

    Im always glad when criminals especially sex predators are
    caught and dealt with, I'm sure any reasonable person would be.

    I just find it a bit weird that there are people with what could probably be called an obsession, trawling around the internet looking for sex pest stories to try and score cheap political points.

    I actually can't recall the username of the person that I referred to in my original post, but if you're a guy who continually searches for sex pest stories with any supposed SNP links, even made up links, to post the stories on this forum then I suppose it could be you.

    It's not a story you'd have to search very hard for. It's on the front page of the Evening News and was on Forth news earlier.

    It was hardly an obscure story it was everywhere. Politicians getting up to no good has always been news, big scandals of the past are still brought up now. But as others have said parties can't be held responsible for their actions, only for their handling of the matter

    I don't have a 'newsfeed' but the Evening News front page is easily enough spotted along with the rest of the papers when you're in a local shop or supermarket.

    I like your approach tho...if I can't see a story a story I don't like it doesn't exist ;-)

    Agreeing again.... sheesh! :-/




    I think that a big problem in our society we all (me included) tend to go to news sources that reflect our world view, problem with that is it begins to amplify people's outlooks in a particular angle.

    I don't read the News because it's a rubbish paper. I don't even know where its politics lie. In the past the News used to be a nice local paper, but it's been poor for many years.

    Scottish Young Greens
    @scotyounggreens
    The Scottish Government has made plans for a £10k mediation between anti-abortion protesters and those who have been subject to their harassment.

    Alice Murray
    @backoffscotland
    was quoted in an article in The Scotsman, "As someone who has been through clinic harassment, I would be really interested to know who would want to sign up to this, who would want to speak to them as I know I wouldn’t."

    The Scottish Young Greens believes this will provide anti-abortion protestors with another platform to target people who have used abortion services. This is a waste of money, time and will most likely cause more destress for users of these services

    This comes in the wake of a recent consultation run by MSP
    @GillianMacMSP
    which received over 12,000 responses. The results are currently being analysed and will be used to form a bill for buffer zones around healthcare facilitates that provide abortion services

    I'm sure his insight will be fair and unbiased.

    His regular topics focus on Scottish and Glaswegian politics, identity, nationalism, socio-economic inequalities and political corruption. He has written a series of articles investigating allegations against the Scottish National Party (SNP) concerning an allegedly missing ring fenced independence referendum fund.

    I don't get it, to be honest you don't have to read past the first couple of paragraphs to see it has truth to it. If you deny that massive drug spending cut won't me a major part in drug death increase, then your too far down the snp rabbit hole to be impartial

    It's all about allocating spend, balancing priorities, I guess. The Peter & Paul thing you were talking about the other day. Don't complain if Peter loses out because you've allocated his money elsewhere, specially if Paul is someone you support.

    The Peter to pay Paul is daily mail patter, usually relating to things that helps those in need like free university, prescriptions, childcare ect. Can be filed with magic money tree. That's what government have to do , get a set budget and allocate it the way that helps the people most. Workers being paid fairly is near the top of that list. You go to the bottom and redistribute. If you can't do that you shouldn't be in power

    Easy to sit on the sidelines and criticise. I'm sure these are very difficult decisions for a Government to make.

    Absolutely. I just don't think it's as simple as your earlier post implied. There will be many policy choices that result in more or less people dying. Look at Johnson's decision to delay lockdown, widely thought to have resulted in 21,000 more deaths than might have been the case otherwise.

    No one including the snp have denied drug funding has been cut. I'm sure they have invested in new initiatives but that means not much

    It means, as Audit Scotland says, it will take time to evaluate.

    It means not much as in overall funding is way down, so one new course could be great but overall funding is still down.

    The proof is in the coffins
