Equal last were Nicola and Sarwar.<br /><br />It might just be my Labour bias, but he came across as a bit shifty. <br /><br />Ruth Davidson's revelation certainly seemed to knock Nicola for six and made her look defensive.<br /><br />RegardsLongshankerhttp://www.ahdinnaeken.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-41623140743830295562012-05-29T11:20:48.357+01:002012-05-29T11:20:48.357+01:00Dear Peter

Thanks also for fillin...Thanks for replying George,<br />Thanks also for filling in some of the detail of your grievances. I do not mean diminish the seriousness of that at all. Something went badly wrong for you.<br /><br />When I said 'but forget that' all I really meant is, that whatever troubles we as individuals are experiencing, in whatever area, we should leave that on the back burner, or even leave it in a former life, so that we can join together to work for a fairer, wealthier and independent Scotland. You worked hard for it in the past so you must be the real deal as someone who seeks independence for Scotland.<br /><br />I am concerned that your blog, your public disagreements and your films are not helping the cause of independence.<br /><br />The people of Scotland need the best communicators to be on their side. Otherwise we will miss the chance, a once in history chance, to help Scotland and her people rejoin the family of independent nations.<br /><br />Anyway that's a bit high falutin' for me, but I really mean it.<br /><br />kind regards,<br /> XYZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-28715102187676964872012-05-28T17:09:40.041+01:002012-05-28T17:09:40.041+01:00Dear XYZ
“You seem to be a man of many grievances...Dear XYZ<br /><br />“You seem to be a man of many grievances. .. but forget that” .<br /><br />No, let’s not forget that.<br /><br />Because detail is important since it is your opening gambit!<br /><br />“Are you furthering the cause of independence for Scotland?”<br /><br />Was Alex Salmond last Friday with poetry and singing? <br /><br />Was Nicola Sturgeon last night when everyone found out Scottish Government hasn’t sought legal advice from EU on status of membership if independent.<br /><br />“You say you're a member of the SNP. (FYI, I am not)”.<br /><br />You and your fellow colleagues on Newsnet Scotland had a lot to say about me before it was ripped down by the admins, being effectively called a liar and worse; so is this a search for knowledge? <br /><br />An important point, I am not a liar and I do not print or tell lies to strangers, outside the BBC HQ, I told the two women who spoke to me, the truth.<br /><br />“How important to you is a fairer wealthier Scotland, free from a corrupt Westminster?”<br /><br />I will let you decide 17 SNP election campaigns in the last 3 years, one of the highest activism rates in Glasgow SNP.<br /><br />What I didn’t know was what I was about to be subjected to when I put myself forward as a candidate.<br /><br />The Maryhill & Springburn branch; I and Alex Salmond were sent information that I was allegedly smeared in a most vile fashion. I have since been sent secondary statement to corroborate this by a third party.<br /><br />In another branch I found out that behind my back I was allegedly branded a racist by members of Pollok SNP branch, the vile clown Tommy Ball posted on his website.<br /><br />Funny enough I was the only person to stand up for an Asian Candidate at Pollok branch nomination meeting and I am supposed to be a racist! Ball misses that out.<br /><br />Fancy standing as an SNP Candidate?<br /><br />Reported matters to Alex Salmond, Nicola Sturgeon, Derek MacKay, Ian McCann, Peter Murrell, the husband of Nicola Sturgeon, what action did they take to resolve matters?<br /><br />Nothing!<br /><br />Can you explain why the Bravehearts above did nothing?<br /><br />Can I venture a possible explanation which runs through my mind; they just didn’t give a fuck how one of the hardest workers in Glasgow SNP was treated.<br /><br />Peter Murrell, SNP Chief Excutive holds me is so much contempt that information I requested in my DSAR wasn’t there and I got my DSAR after 120 days when the legal limit is 40.<br /><br />Opinion please on that type of behavior! <br /><br />Is it decent?<br /><br />It isn’t a matter of having “many grievances” it is a matter of being treated decency.<br /><br />Finally do you like airplane movies? I have a short one on the blog about what happened to Glasgow SNP at council elections, check it out.<br /><br />Yours sincerely<br /><br />George Laird<br />The Campaign for Human Rights at Glasgow UniversityG Lairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634338820731652821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-29948221666190615302012-05-28T16:50:20.671+01:002012-05-28T16:50:20.671+01:00XYZ... can you explain how people can be SNP MSp&#...XYZ... can you explain how people can be SNP MSp's with NO activism NO work within the party, First Ministers advisor? No history of ANY kind within their branch.<br />maybe the fact that they are writing a book on First Minister has something to do with it?<br />Did you mention a fairer Scotland?<br />cronyism?
