Dear All
You can’t help feeling sorry for Labour MP Eric
Joyce, in some respects he had it all, and like some in public life, it all
came crashing down around his ears by his own stupidity.
Joyce was someone who could have been a
high flyer if he played his cards right.
Despite having expenses issues enough to
run a small country, he never reached a tipping point till the trouble with
boozing and fighting in the House of Commons.
Now, unfortunately, he is facing charges of
breach of the peace following an incident at Edinburgh Airport on Sunday.
Maybe he needs help of some description
from someone.
Joyce was arrested in the domestic arrivals
area on Sunday, in front of other passengers and members of staff, more shame
and disgrace, when will it end?
A Police Scotland official said:
"A 52-year-old man has been reported
to the procurator fiscal in connection with an alleged breach of the peace,
which happened at Edinburgh Airport on Sunday May 19."
A spokesman for Edinburgh Airport said:
"We can confirm that an incident did
occur on Sunday evening and an individual was arrested for being abusive and
confrontational towards airport staff and police. Behaviour of this nature is
something we have zero tolerance for at Edinburgh Airport and police officers
will act accordingly if the safety of our passengers and employees is put at
risk."
The trigger for the problem was that Eric Joyce
left his mobile phone on a plane and was not allowed to immediately retrieve
it.
If he had exercised patience, something
could have been done and he would have got his phone back, given he sits in the
House of Commons passing law, he should know better.
His career is ending in disgrace, and the
longer he acts this way, the less people will think of him.
He had it all and ruined it by his own
actions while in public office.
Yours sincerely
