Dear All
Former SNP Minister Derek Mackay won't face
charges after messaging 16-year-old schoolboy; it seems Police Scotland after consulting
the Crown Office came to the conclusion that no laws were broken. In this
entire affair, it seems that no one seemed to ask the pertinent question, ‘what
was Derek Mackay’s endgame for this young schoolboy?’ In the world of sleazy
SNP politics, it seems also that Mackay has gone the Natalie McGarry route
seeking protection from the health service. Claims of illness don’t however
wash with the public, unfortunately for Mackay; the public were able to ’examine’
Mackay through his many TV appearances. Unless you are a foaming mouth Nat, you
wouldn’t say anything was wrong with this character.
Now that Mackay is out from under the
Police investigation, can we expect a triumphant return to Holyrood? Mackay is
out the door as a government minister but will he welcomed back into the fold?
With the SNP and Nicola Sturgeon attempt to defend him, citing Mackay was only confused
man. The fact is like Mark McDonald, another SNP reject, Mackay is damaged
goods, in the closeted bubble of Holyrood; the private club doesn’t want him
back. He can stay out of the way, he can hand in sick notes, he can work the
system, but what he can’t do is return to the fold. The SNP is made up of four
groups, lgbt, Muslim, Sein Fein lite and the rich, although the lgbt grouping dominates,
they can’t escape the fact that Mackay back tars them.
In stepping back from pursuing Mackay, a
source said:
“It was felt the trail of messages itself
was inappropriate given the imbalance in power and the difference in age
between the two parties. The messages were not highly sexualised and, in any
case, the boy was 16 and of age. But consideration was given as to whether the
messages could have caused fear and alarm or distress. Could there have been an
aggravated breach of the peace or would some sort of sexual aggravation or grooming
charge be justified? But all things considered, the consensus was that the
threshold of criminality had not been reached.”
It is interesting how some politicians
describe Mackay’s actions as grooming.
Child grooming is befriending and
establishing an emotional connection with a child, and sometimes the family, to
lower the child's inhibitions with the objective of sexual abuse. So,
again, I come back to the pertinent question, ‘what was Derek Mackay’s endgame
for this young schoolboy?’
When you also look at the context of other
stories now in the public domain regarding Mackay’s contact with others,
perhaps more people need to be talking about this, was the plan a fairytale
romance, marriage with Nicola Sturgeon playing a starring role?
Or are the bookies and the public thinking
something more sinister?
These stories don’t lend weight to a happy
ever after scenario for the schoolboy.
In the day that sees Mackay not being
charged by the Police, the SNP have announced his replacement, Kate Forbes, the
timing is not strange but rather it is to deflect attention away from Mackay.
Mackay cannot be forced out as the pretendy parliament at Holyrood doesn’t have
a mechanism to remove people like Mackay. And you have to wonder, why they don’t
have such a mechanism? As in the case, of Mark McDonald, Mackay will probably
be painted as the ‘rogue male’, someone who will be shunned at least by the
main parties, but in the world of SNP lgbt politics, they might want to keep
him.
Can it be business as normal for Derek
Mackay?
No, the parliament doesn’t want him there
because he draws attention to how morally bankrupt Holyrood is. The public don’t
want him there because some will have already in their own minds formed an
opinion regarding what they think Derek Mackay’s endgame was. Presumably Nicola
Sturgeon who was very close to Mackay doesn’t want him there because her use of
kids as indy props. I am still waiting for a coast is clear picture for the SNP
to use kids as props with an SNP politician, so far nothing. Eventually, someone
will have to be seen with a kid, given what has happened one would suspect
probably their kids as the icebreaker for Sturgeon. The kid would probably have
to be young, primary school age and female for that PR stunt, maybe done on ‘hallowed’
ground such as Holyrood.
Finally, will be seeing much more of SNP
figures who get caught heading for medical assessments, the Nats are less
creative in how they try to escape attention and/or justice. As Mackay head to
the doctor’s surgery, I asked a question;
“Given the time delays before you get
medical treatment in Scotland, can anyone explain why former SNP Minister Derek
Mackay is getting help so quickly it seems in comparison with ordinary members
of the public?”
One tweeter wrote to me that they waited 9
months for an appointment at urology department, Royal Alexandria Hospital
Paisley.
The fight to get rid of Derek Mackay
continues, chances are he will sail on collecting his salary and pension
contributions right up to when Holyrood dissolves for the 2021 election. This
episode with him is rather seedy and squalid, but we don’t live in the days of
a better Scotland, and we don’t have the same calibre of politicians who know the
meaning of the word honourable.

Sein Fein light is a perfect description. Did anyone else notice Cherry on QT last week mention Ireland when referring to NI? One audience member did and Cherry for once was silenced. Are the SNP going down the Corbyn path, cosyinf up to the likes of Russia and other unsavoury groups?
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see Cherry silenced for once. She got far too much air time last week.
DeleteIf Derek Mackay refuses to resign as a MSP then it will prove he has no moral integrity and is only interested in retaining his salary.If he has the audacity to return to the Scottish Parliament then every other member should leave the chamber to make it plainly known that a predatory groomer of school boys is not welcome among them .
ReplyDeleteMore possible court action on the way. The tragic death of a girl due to I infection has been referred to the proc fiscal. Makes you wonder just what the fuck is going on in Scotland. Keep going George. We need some sanity up here.
ReplyDeleteSF lite. Great description. I worked with our new SNP MP Dave Doogan a few years ago. Republican Dave he was called. The word lite doesn’t describe his views. Another self serving tosser if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteWell say no more, that blog is totally brilliant, its everything we chat about on line put into one great masterpiece ... Please send a copy to Boris, this crowd of disgusting, pathetic, low life, have badly damaged Scotland and the real Scottish people have had more than enough of their lies and hatred, We need to break up the SNP for good before they do any more damage. I feel better now as the UK parliament and across the country, can see now what this oddball pretend Party is all about...the break up of the UK when in 2014 the people voted to stay in the UK and they totally ignored that result, they should have been out then, no one protected the rights of the majority, now we have Boris in our corner and NO means NO. The Dictator Sturgeon and her cult deal with it. It is over...
