Thank you for writing this.

Such hypocrisy must be highlighted.

I should have noted (an oversight by me, apologies), that Blackford has to date never:

a) acknowledged his role in the 2015 campaign

b) apologised for any of it.

Underscoring and explaining why I write he should never be forgiven. Forgiveness first needs an acknowledgement of guilt and suitably sincere apology.

I know… I don’t think he will.

It is such a sad state of affairs that here in Scotland we allowed such vile behaviour.

The SNP have cultivated such division and sadly nastiness is now the norm.

They shame even pro-independence types. I have family who support independence, but genuinely detest what the SNP have become and enabled/presided over. There's an emerging consensus that this lot in Bute house need cleaning out.

You couldn't make it up. Blackford has a very short memory and a very hard neck. Odious buffoon of a man

As I say, ordinarily I wouldn't single any particular politician out in this manner, but I couldn't let this one pass. Odious is the word for the humble crofting ex-merchant banking war profiteering hounder of Kennedy.

Golden Charter Trust is not a "a funeral plan provider". Funeral plan providers are those companies you see advertising on daytime television. Golden Charter Trust is an investment company specialising in inheritance tax avoidance.

Good reporting Dean, but please could you make it easier to share your blog to Twitter and Facebook so that a wider readership is made aware of exactly what is going on? The MSM very rarely reports the truth and seldom gives both sides of a story!
