I think we should visit the lost property office and see if anyone has found Labour's policies yet?<br /><br /><br />MarciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-7069300529641761832010-02-12T03:02:17.511+00:002010-02-12T03:02:17.511+00:00Mark, judging from the way that Alex Salmond kept ...Mark, judging from the way that Alex Salmond kept repeating at FMQs that he knew of no link between Rauf and the SNP, presumably (and hopefully!) that means he knows he's on reasonably safe ground. Although I wouldn't put it past the Daily Record to produce the smoking gun that Rauf's sister's husband's nephew's girlfriend's gran had briefly possessed an SNP membership card in Billy Wolfe's day.<br /><br />Ezio, Gray kept asking the question 'what kind of crime would be serious enough that you wouldn't have written the letter?' It occurred to me that someone should ask him 'what kind of criminal would <i>you</i> point-blank refuse to represent? Road traffic offenders? TV licence fee evaders?'James Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516007141763230886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-54711014463548589572010-02-12T00:30:46.635+00:002010-02-12T00:30:46.635+00:00Something I, and as you probably know by now James...Something I, and as you probably know by now James I am omnipotent, haven't seen picked up on is that Iain 'LOL' Gray kept referring to the constituent in question as a criminal, because he had been convicted of a crime in the past.<br /><br />Is Iain 'LOL' Gray suggesting that anybody who has been convicted of a crime before should not be able to rely on the help of their MSP?

On the other hand people complain that Ministers have less time to involve themselves with the problems of their constituents. Whichever of these is true, if either is, we must ensure that idiotic political point scoring by the opposition and the BBC (much the same thing) does not discourage Ministers from doing their first and possibly more important job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
