On Thursday 23rd January 2020, in Holyrood, James Kelly (Glasgow) (Scottish Labour) asked the Scottish Government what its response is to recently reported alcohol-related brain damage statistics, which suggest that the number of people with this condition is at a 10-year high.
The answer:
Last year, 2018-19 shows a drop in the number of patients with ARBD, a decline of 3% from the previous year
The actual data:
2017/18 810
2018/19 785

Kelly has previous on arithmetical confusion. In 2016:
“Of the cases that come to court, over half of them fail. So even if you accepted the basic premise of the Act, as a law it’s not working.”
From Wings:
This is a lie. Of OBFA cases brought to court, 69% (242 out of 352) have resulted in convictions and just 31% have failed. Last time we checked, 31% was less than half by a quite significant distance. There hasn’t been a single year in which “over half” of OBFA cases brought to court have failed
And in 2019:
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
Touted as the next “White Knight” come over the hill to rescue Scorrish (sic) Labour.
I for one, cannot wait!
Leonard may have all the charisma of a crash test dummy, but Kelly is just a dummy—without the charisma!

Liebour in Scotland is finished , with the Toerags not far behind and the Lib-dums irrelevant.
They have got to continually look for any kind of grievance to dump on the SNP , Kelly is not the only clown in that rag , tag and bobtail bunch of nonentinies but he is one of the thickest and that’s saying something.
Revulsion does not even cover what most of the general public feel for Scotland’s pathetic , regressive , repressive , Unionist opposition! .

There is no arguing with above observations, car test dummy, without the crash, rag tag and bobtail of a clown, thickest of the thick. . . . But I still think John and Gavin are missing a trick here. The clue is in the photograph, . . . Yeah the haircut’s quite good.
In a similar vein, whatabout the call to the barricades on pages 4 & 5 of Friday’s National.
On page 5 Craig Dalzell “This is a game of perceptions and must be managed caefully – if we loose the support of the public we loose”
Westminster will easily ensure support of the public is lost through the use of false flag activity.
