ANDREW MacKINLAY-HONOURABLE M.P.

ANDREW MacKINLAY M.P.

At last an honourable M.P. with the courage of his convictions. ANDREW MacKINLAY M.P. a Labour member has resigned due to his disgust at the way his fellow backbenchers have treated the case of GARY McKINNON, (see previous posts this month).

He is disgusted at the power the Government whips hold over ordinary rank and file M.P.s.


I SALUTE YOU, SIR.

Our MP Jim McGovern was on Radio Tay the other day trying to backtrack and say he didn't change his mind by supporting the exradition. He couldn't remember if he'd signed in support of Gary Mckinnon in the first place blah blah.Bit like the MP's not remembering their mortgage was paid off etc. Have to check with his secretary etc. One of the biggest stories of the year and he couldn't recall what stance he took.
Do MP's have a tendency to early onset dementia ?
OT but did you listen to Radio Scotland yesterday with Lesley Riddoch. Sitting in their studio baffled by the poor performance of The Herald and The Scotsamn. Didn't fathom out it was because they're both rabidly anti Scottish and hate the Parliament and will do all they can to undermine it. And Scots are just fed up with their toadying to Liebour.

Yes, Anonymous that's as may be, but at least he had the courage of his convictions even if he is a crook.
