Aye the headline seems to make out it's the plastic bag that's the bad bit. I find hard to believe that the other details are accurate though. Why would any health professional do that? Just doesn't make any sense at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of shite used to happen years ago, look at the forced adoptions stuff yesterday, the authorities thought they didn’t have to answer to anyone. There’s probably some dodgy stuff going on now but I get the general impression that the public are less accepting and more likely to raise a stink now.

aaid Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 A suspension of 30 days from the HoC has just been recommended for Margaret Ferrier. Will almost certainly result in a by-election. An early test for Humza Yousaf. Might be better to lose the by-election and then pick it back up at the general election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it highly unusual for a woman to do this. Don’t see gun laws changing unfortunately for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger intae them Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Easy to look from the outside, but they are so tied to this gun philosophy now, with the political power, and implications if the right to bear arms is lost, that it’s hard to see it changing. It appears no amount of mass murder will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ferrier falls into this category (i.e. I made a mistake but the voters forgive me) as do those who get elected under one party banner and then change to another party (Hanvey/MacAskill). Its not a party political point, I just think it shows a lack of integrity on their behalf. Maybe if a politician is no longer a member of the party on whose ticket they were elected should automatically trigger a by election?

Mostly I agree with that, however, you also have the situation with Corbyn, who has been thrown out of the Labour Party by Starmer, has the support of his local branch and I suspect the electorate as well. Should he be forced to fight a by-election? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he's it's one of those cases where he genuinely does have a lot of personal support. Of course there's the danger of splitting the vote and letting in someone you really don't want but maybe it would make some parties less vindictive (as in Corbyn's case). I think cases like Ferrier, Hanvey etc are much more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
