Scottish Politics #2

That’s made me sad looking at that Rightmove page. Those tenants must be so worried. I wonder if it’s an executry sale and the previous landlord had let them have it at a low rent and since died.

They are apparently refusing to allow viewings. Good on them for standing their ground but it will likely result in them being served notice to quit due to sale. It needs a lot of work. Probably an issue with the roof that would involve all property owners.

Only paying up because he was called out on it.

Michael Matheson should resign over this ipad nonsense. He lied several times about it.

How on earth can a person run up a bill of £11,000 in a week?
If you are on holiday, you are on holiday & not doing constituency work surely.

 

[Mollywobbles]

He has now said it was his children watching football, but he denied it to “ protect his family.”

Aye, right….

His sons watching the football. Funnily enough opposition politicians pointed out yesterday that there were football games on the days with the highest bills.

Crying today while throwing his sons under the bus but had no issue putting the claim in back in January….11 bloody grand

 

[Bobby Chariot]

Just caught up with BBC Reporting Scotland there.
The SNP always chanted the mantra of not being as corrupt as Westminster lol
They're all the same

 

[moreanimalsplease1]

Agreed! I definitely think he’s used it as a hotspot and they’ve had multiple devices running off it.

If you weren’t being sly you’d pay per device or at least not use your work one

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

Why should we believe this particular version as he has lied several times already?

 

[Caffeine Fiend]

What I dont understand are these expenses not scrutinised in any way across the board?

Are they just paid out like ok they say 11k for data for 'constituency business' thats fine lets pay.

Does noone at any point think hang on thats not reasonable.

My heart bleeds for him!
How did he not realise his sons were spending ages on their tablets on holiday? And exactly how many football matches were on?
He obviously didn’t spend much time with his sons

 

[Ilovemusic]

Caught out? Here's a sure fix...
1. Lie.
2. Blame others. (Preferably those who are not in a position to refute your lies)
3. Turn on the tears.
4. Bingo! Job done.

Humza Yousaf was on Radio 4's Broadcasting House with Paddy O'Connell this morning, talking about his extended family's ordeal in Gaza, his father in law having to say goodbye to his elderly mother for probably the last time, brother in law trapped in a hospital etc.
Very sad, a good interview, putting all politics aside.

it’s much worse than that. Not to mention the bill, but also what were his sons doing watching football on his parliamentary tablet anyway? That rides roughshod over any attempt at IT security. Exposes that not only has he personally got no cares about proper use of the parliament property but also that the parliamentary IT department have no clue what they’re doing either, firstly the tablet should be locked down to only secure apps and secondly they should be on top of data usage and immediately spotting the sudden high usage and following up on it with him. This is routine stuff for normal businesses that care about their security, why doesn’t the Scottish Parliament?

 

[Not Now Bernard]

I genuinely don’t believe it was his children. I think it was him and he’s come up with this story in a desperate attempt to hang on to his extremely well paid job.
