Hertsscot Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I don't think I missed any but the story about William Wragg didn't appear to be in the headlines if any single paper this morning. Just shows the bias if the media, if it had been an SNP MP they'd be howling for a resignation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertsscot Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 https://theferret.scot/ineos-claims-grangemouth-grant-despite-closure/ Can't stand Radcliffe, Scottish Government should do better but so should the UK Government that has just lent him millions to subsidise the Brexiteers new plant in Belgium.

Unlike Wragg he didn't divulge other MP's phone numbers to anyone (as you said in earlier post, a breach of GDPR) and he didn't, as far as we know, send pictures of his tadger to anyone.

I think there are some differences between the two. Wragg's actions were consensual (not sure that's the word I'm looking for!) whereas the argument was that Grady's advances (stroking someone on the back of the neck) were unwelcome and an abuse of his position. However everything else you say is spot on. SNP were accused of protecting a 'sex pest' for weeks on end by the media and Unionist politicians, Wragg has probably broken GDPR (any other job you'd get away with disclosing personal phone numbers to strangers?) and threatening national security in the process. Yet there's barely a peep from the media, let alone calls for his resignation. Complete double standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 It’s now a week since Scotland’s new Hate Crime Act became law and 8,000 hate complaints have been logged with the police —about one a minute. Police union bosses described the law as ‘a disaster’ and claimed officers are already ‘swamped under a deluge of complaints’. Senior officers also warned that police will be forced to make cuts to frontline crimefighting to deal with the deluge and face a big overtime bill which the Scottish taxpayer will need to pick up — or the police will cut back elsewhere.

Ally Bongo Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Peter Higgs, a giant of British science who came up with the idea of the Higgs boson particle, has died aged 94. He was awarded the Nobel prize for Physics in 2013 for his revolutionary work showing how the boson helps bind the universe together. A statement from Edinburgh university said he died in Edinburgh on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I normal? I haven't needed to complain about any hate crime but it seems it's all some people do. And then they complain that the police haven't got enough time to deal with crime. I also haven't felt the need to ask the police if they have a record of any accusations against me. Maybe I'm just odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
