Yoda Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 He is blaming his wife. It also means that his "friend"who's car he was driving gets done for aiding and abetting an uninsured driver. Stand by to find out which high profile member of our governments car it was. She must be a Tory or work at Westminster. On the back of the trains fiasco, he needs to resign now. Humza Useless indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankblack Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Nope. How some people don't know their insurance status (especially someone in his position), is beyond me. This was the transport minister FFS. People with car insurance will get renewal reminders and quotes from your existing insurer, so you can't use the excuse of not knowing your insurance has expired. The guy has to resign over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack D and coke Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 A transport minister who openly admitted he knew nothing about transport. Only in an SNP government could this happen.Did you think Osborne was a qualified economist? Jeremy Hunt should be in charge of health? Boris Johnson has great skills in foreign affairs? This is what gets me with politics and people in general, quite content to bash away at one side whilst completely ignoring the hypocrisy the other way. Personally I can't stand Humza I find him a bumptious tosser and I'd certainly rather enjoy him being sacked but I can't help feeling this is a bit of over reaction in this instance. I'd have been more inclined to sack him for the comment about not being enough muslims in the Tory party of whatever. I've no idea how they get away with remarks like that. Sadiq Khan said something similar about too many white people work on the London transport systems. Immediate sacking it should've been imo.

I quite like the guy, shows the diversity of modern Scotland, speaks intelligently and forward thinking. About 4 weeks ago, I emailed the local MP for this area asking about the plans for upgrading the City Bypass seeing all the work going ahead at the Raith interchange, the brand new FRB and the duelling of the A9. I got a detailed letter back within a week stating what is being proposed. And hey presto, Sherriffhall roundabout is getting scrapped and a through pass is proposed.

Scottish Government only award the contract to the private company running the, well, running stock. All transport policies implemented by Westminster though. I'm going to give you an i8 sexist analogy here: It's like a woman coming home from a Tupperware party after spending 10 quid.

A non-story but something for the SNP baiters to get in...another...lather about. "His" insurance never expired as he never had any any. Sounds like it was his wife's policy and he was a named driver. After the split he got the car but didn't bother to arrange any insurance in his own name. Even if he had "fully comp" there no guarantee that it would cover him driving someone else's car. That would depend on the policy. If he can't manage simple stuff like this, how can he be trusted as a transport minister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
