The party itself has procedures for this. Lots of things were once ignored and accepted . Like no not meaning no or they're playing hard to get. That's why procedures are in place. Blackford should have made sure the youngster got support. Instead the youngster has reported feeling ostracised and ignored by the party.

Guy got a KB and years later it gets brought back up. You soon won’t be able to talk to someone incase they charge you. As has been said previously half this board would be in jail if they started charging people with what they done in last 30 years in a nightclub or pub trying to chat someone up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I did I would expect fekin pelters for it at least or a slap . Bit of victim blaming going here. Plus it was work related not a club or pub thing. The SNP have rightly made a point about this kind of behaviour being unacceptable. Yet they showed total disregard for the youngster and full support for the old sleaze who held a powerful position.

ArcticJambo Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 It happened in 2016, at an SNP Social when Grady was 36, and the victim in question was 19. Not advocating violence really but a good bitch-slap probably would have sufficed, and no doubt that would have been enough to learn Grady, unless he's completely lacking self-awareness.

A Hearts man and a good local MP for us whenever we've needed his help. Pretty damning little piece that. Of course, the SNP fans will probably be able to point to successes just as easily as Murray is able to point out the failures; politics and political fans do that, it helps them make sense of the world, fair enough. I was a member of the SNP for two years, but all I got out of it was a series of letters and leaflets asking for more donations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised the Labour Party is still here after what happened on all sides during Corbyn's time. Murray was likely jockeying for position expecting Corbyn to be gone within months, rather than years. Sadly, that's the nature of politics. Actually, come to think of it... he helped get my missus a visa for the UK, the *******. Boo! Murray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 It appears Mr Blackford in bother for bullying allegations as well as protection of sex pest.
