Senior SNP Politician had lockdown affair...
Discussion
This is getting discussed in the Scottish Politics thread but I think it deserves attention on its own, if only in retribution for the sanctimonious drivel nationalists MPs and MSPs have constantly spouted in response to the extra-marital behaviours of Matt Hancock and Boris Johnson...
SNP politicians broke lockdown rules during affair.
BTW I know who they are but I don't want this thread being shut down.

Lets hope this gets the attention that it deserves in the MSM, little interest on here as expected.
If it was Sunak or some other Tory however......
Doesn't Scotland deserve wrongdoer politicians to be called out as well, regardless of party?
Plays into the indynuts 'too wee, too poor, too stupid' narrative. Even our senior politicians' scandals don't get the same levels of scrutiny.If it was Sunak or some other Tory however......

For those new to the game - the SNP have been getting 'protected status' by the MSM because for a while they were a useful proxy-opposition to the Conservatives while a basket-case Labour party got it's s
t together.Labour are now looking like serious contenders so the SNP have served their purpose and now (hopefully) seem to be getting the attention they deserve.

Ah nothing like yet another anti-SNP circle jerk to enliven a Friday afternoon…
As someone else said, if it was a senior tory you'd be all over like a tramp on chips.At least Labour/Conservatives/Lib Dems do not try to suppress evidence of criminal behaviour using interdicts and NDA's. Only one UK party has form for doing that.

Only Hancock springs to mind as a lockdown shagger, and he was flayed - quite rightly - by all and sundry. I don’t recall starting another thread about it though to ‘raise awareness’.At least Labour/Conservatives/Lib Dems do not try to suppress evidence of criminal behaviour using interdicts and NDA's. Only one UK party has form for doing that.

You are absolutely correct; let’s just forget about it along with the fraudulent claim for expenses by Michael Matheson because the SNP are beyond reproach, and because they are some how better than the nasty tories.On the other hand, let us not. The SNP are massive hypocrites who have caused untold damage to Scotland, and they deserve to be exposed for the charlatans they are. If it is who I think it is, he has form for this and will be exposed as not only a massive chump and a hypocrite, but also a liar.

If you don't like the Tories, and that is most of the population according to the polls, other parties than the SNP are available.
If it is who I think he is, and if the other party is who I think she is, then the publicising of such a scandal couldn't happen to two more deserving or unpleasant people. As has been said, the 'gentleman' of the situation has past form for such shenanigans, and surely to goodness such a scandal would make the present high office he occupies untenable. It would also make moral positions and high grounds he has pontificated from of late appear utterly foolish.

Oh, it is!The only thing stopping this going fully public is the political will to pursue it and the bent of the media. As I understand it this differs from previous efforts by senior SNP/ScotGov figures to use injunctions to supress controversial information as the matters involved, while embarrassing and incriminatory, were not criminal.
As Margaret Ferrier, Boris Johnson and others have discovered, breaching covid lockdown rules is an offence. Information that may constitute evidence of an offence cannot be guarded by injunctions, interdicts or non-disclosure agreements.
