    Tonight’s BBC Question Time

    I have just watched tonight’s BBC Question Time which was broadcast from Edinburgh.
    Instead of each political party having one panellist there were two pro independence panellists.
    Jeanne Freeman who is an SNP MSP and has been a disaster as the cabinet secretary for Health at Holyrood.
    Angela Haggarty who,was listed as a journalist and broadcaster is a pro independence supporter and in 2014 became editor of CommonSpace the website of the pro-independence think tank the Common Weal.
    Haggarty also got herself into bother with Rangers FC when she co-authored a book about their liquidation.
    Angela Haggarty who now lives in London was hopeless as a panellist stated that as we are in a pandemic the Scottish public should not expect Nicola Sturgeon to resign as First Minister if it is proved that she has broken the ministerial code.
    This is an unbelievable statement but not unexpected from a pro independence supporter who wants Scotland to become an independent country.
    The question is will Angela Haggarty remain enjoying the trappings of life living in London, England or return to live in an independent Scotland. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Haggerty

    Very blinkered view there Islay.

    Why criticise Angela Haggerty for telling the truth about Rangers' liquidation?

    I can't however agree with her that the Sturgfuhrer shouldn't resign if found to have broken the ministerial code - which we may well discover are more a set of guidelines than a code. Pandemic or no pandemic she would have to go and public pressure would probably make sure she did.

    She has in my opinion been part ( however small) of a conspiracy to put Salmond behind bars for the rest of his life and the subsequent cover up.

    Resigning should be the least of her worries.

    Excellent letter from the ex convener of Edinburgh south SNP branch yesterday on why he gave up his party membership.....gives a very good insight into the mindset of those running the SNP.

    The "wheeest for Indy" mantra is damning for the SNP.

    I am surprised you watch this programme. It has gone from an informative discussion where people with interesting and varied views have been replaced by people who have agendas and who want to publicise their views. Apologies somehow picked up this quote. Should have been Islay's.

    Better to have different threads. New stuff gets lost if you just have a single topic my opinion only!

    There is nothing new, it's just the same right-wing pish repeated over and over again
