A trip to the Far East 3 months earlier ran up a bill of £12,700, the equivalent of £1300 per head. Taxpayer funded of course!🤬🤬🤬 Reply |

| 103. Author: Buspasspar Date: Thu 14th Mar 2024. 15:41 What a bloody fool .. from Aunty :- Former Scottish health secretary Michael Matheson has been found to have breached the MSPs code of conduct in relation to a £11,000 bill he racked up on a parliamentary iPad. Mr Matheson stepped down from his cabinet post last month, citing the investigation as the reason. The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) published its findings on Thursday. Holyrood`s standards committee will now decide if he should be sanctioned. The iPad charges, initially paid out of the public purse, were incurred during a family trip to Morocco in late 2022.

| 108. Author: Parboiled Date: Fri 15th Mar 2024. 14:10 There’s a difference. No financial gain for Ross, he wasn’t trying to defraud the public purse. Reply |
| 109. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Fri 15th Mar 2024. 16:06 So Matheson was trying to defraud the public purse, even though he paid it back?🤔🙈 Reply |

He`s apparently trying to have the report (John Swinnied) redacted, so there`s more chance that the first flight ✈️ to Rwanda will take place before this comes to a conclusion. Reply |

Author: Tenruh Date: Thu 21st Mar 2024. 10:40 LochgellyAlbert, Thu 21 Mar 10:02 This is the problem, to many Scots are consumed by what`s going on in a foreign parliament which we have no say in and our politicians are screwing what they can from our parliament. And throwing their kids under a bus to keep on troughing Post Edited (Thu 21 Mar 10:42) Reply |

| 117. Author: DBP Date: Fri 22nd Mar 2024. 07:35 There’s probably two potential answers why you could view Westminster as a foreign parliament. 1. Scotland is a country, and as a country has entered into a political union, where the meeting place of the Parliament of that union is located in another country of that union 2. Scotland as a country has essentially no influence on that parliament. Given the imbalance of the union, every vote cast in Scotland is overshadowed by over 10 votes in England, ergo decisions made and focus is rightly given to the larger population - so when you have no real influence, and at best only get what you want because you happen to go along with the people who actually make the decisions, it’s natural to become disenfranchised and see Westminster for what it really is, primarily answering to and serving a different country within the union Reply |
