FROM SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY.
THE SNP was last night embroiled in a scandal after an aide to the Constitution Minister used the Internet to smear political rivals by posting scurrilous allegations about their private lives.
MacLachlan, whose £30,000 job in the minister's Dumfries constituency office was funded by the taxpayer, published a blog titled "The Universality of Cheese" under the pseudonym Montague Burton, which promoted the nationalist cause. The blog contained false allegations about the sex lives and behaviour of politicians and other prominent people in public life. Among those smeared were Lord Foulkes, the Labour MSP, Paul McBride QC, the lawyer and high-profile Tory, members of the shadow cabinet and Labour councillors.-
I've read Monty's blog for about a year and it was obvious that it was a private blog, written by him in his own time. To equate it with Damian McBride's blog is malicious nonsense. McBride's blog contained spurious insinuations about prominent Tory Politicians including allegations of affairs and venereal disease. It was also written from THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE with it is gathered his TACIT APPROVAL.
What Mark did was stupid considering his position. I think we have all had to consider our Blog's content over the last week or so. I have taken down any reference to the SNP, because I will probably vote for them in May or whenever Shite-bag decides he's brave enough to take on the electorate, I do not represent them in any capacity.
Sorry to see another entertaining, at least in my eyes, BLOGGER BITE THE DUST. Come back soon Mark!
