Dear All
Mike Russell has started a new job and to celebrate the Labour Party is already sticking complaints in about him.
I would have thought that common courtesy would be to at least let him sit down at his desk, get a cup of tea and a biscuit, let him write something and then attack him with their usual fake outrage and howls of protest.
The howling being in recognition that they have been banned from the Ministerial trough and associated perks.
The new Education Secretary maybe faces the prospect of three separate Parliamentary investigations because of the actions of a person in his former employ.
Mark McLachlan was an employee of Mike Russell who ran a blog called The Universality of Cheese.
This blog was seized on by the political press who waited for the SNP to publish its referendum white paper before running the story.
I read his blog, a couple of times myself as it was on other people’s blogs list. He had his own style of writing.
So, the Labour Party has complained in the form of Councillor Ronnie Nicholson from Dumfries who has made three separate complaints.
I see this as a tactic to deflect from the recent behaviour of the Scottish General Secretary of the Labour Party, Colin Smyth.
Could Labour Councillor Ronnie Nicholson be doing a ‘Jo Moore’, using another story to try and bury the issue of Colin Smyth’s conduct?
As Jane Maitland said;
“There’s a kind of barracking, hectoring tone and I don’t think he realises how unpleasant it is for the rest of us.”
This seems to me to be a despicable way to act in public life, everyone should have the right to be heard and not shouted down the Labour Party.
I wonder if Smyth in possession of the facts has issued an apology for the effect his behaviour had on Ms. Maitland.
Yours sincerely
