Alex Salmond insists that MSPs have a duty of care to their constituents? Since when? Duty of care is a legal term for having specific responsibilities to ensure safety from harm through, just for example, negligence.
However, the law is not a harmful process which people need to be protected from. Quite the opposite. If MSPs have an over-riding duty of care it is to their law-abiding constituents who need protection from dedicated fraudsters and criminals like Ms Sturgeon’s crooked new friend, Mr Rauf.
Obviously, the First Minister would never resort to falsifying the position to help even a beleagured colleague. However, this one requires his full and unequivocal explanation.
It was good to see Ms Sturgeon confessing to her error today. She is clearly a decent and honourable individual whose initial actions were – at least – prompted by going too far for her consituent.
There are other members of her party who should be apologising for not going far enough for their constituents – in fact barely getting out of the starting blocks to help and protect them in their jobs.
But that’s not going to happen, is it? It takes dignity to do something like that.
Gosh. I wonder who Mr Murray is talking about.
I am, of course, assuming that it is Donald S Murray commenting.
Clearly I was being a little too obvious there. I must have given the game away about my own identity.
Just like it must have been a little too obvious who I was referring to …
The individual elected to represent islanders who never picked up the phone when he first received a letter to see if he could save islanders’ jobs.
