  1. There are sexual deviants in every society. They need to be weeded out. Abuse against women needs to stop. People need to speak out. It is reported more frequently. The perpetrators do not get away with it. Or the harm that they do. There is no place in society for wicked abusers.

    Abused women do not get legal aid. The majority, co habiting, have to put in a claim 1/3, within a year. It can take years and cost £thousands. Legal aid pays for itself. Less social, welfare, police costs. Less abusive behaviour. Women can get away. Instead of staying in abusive, unsafe places.

  2. “As Labour accuse the SNP of covering up sex crimes”

    I saw this online a wee while back that seems apt now:

    “Labour have two hopes – Bob Hope and No Hope”.

    That was in relation to their election chances but you know it could also be in relation to their credibility at accusing the SNP of “covering up sex crimes”.

    “As in December 2025 it was reported that a Scottish citizen, who exposed a senior MSP’s friendship with a convicted sex offender, reported feeling “dismissed” and “unheard” by party leadership, which initially appeared unconcerned about the connections”.

    “His pleas went nowhere after a party boss said his team could not probe “personal relationships”. He said: “I felt dismissed when my concerns were questioned. They seemed unconcerned about the personal relationship involved which left me feeling completely unheard, raising even more concerns for the party.”

    “A Labour source said: “A senior politician maintaining a close relationship with a convicted sex offender is not a private matter”

    “And insisting the matter is closed when there are so many unanswered questions looks awful. Whistleblowers must have confidence in the process.”

    The Daily Record stated that “It can now be revealed concerns were raised with Scottish Labour as far back as November 13th. In an email to the Scottish party, the whistleblower complained about the pair’s “ongoing” friendship and wrote”:

    “I ask that this matter be reviewed promptly and that a public statement be made to clarify the situation. It is vital that public representatives maintain the highest standards of accountability, particularly where child protection and community trust are concerned. I trust that it will be handled with the necessary care and professionalism.”

    “The matter was then handled by a UK Labour safeguarding officer who asked him for more information”

    This of course was about Pam Duncan Glancy and her continued friendship with Sean Morton, , a former Labour councillor.

    Then we saw her maintaining the Labour whip for approximately two months after it was disclosed by the Daily Record in December 2025 that she had “continued her friendship with Sean Morton, a former Labour councillor, after he was jailed for 16 months in January 2025 for further offences and that late last year he, Morton, attended her birthday celebration”.

    It was then also reported in December 2025 that it was decided by Labour that “She will remain as a Labour MSP. The party said she had done the right thing ( in her quitting as the Scottish Labour education spokeswoman) and it considers the matter closed”.

    Then , after continued pressure , it was revealed that in February 2026 she was finally suspended by the Labour party (Sarwar), as obviously pressure was mounting on Labour to act as this was clearly not going to be a “matter” considered to be “closed” by others.

    (Labour HQ also slipped up as they tried to slip in a new Labour peer under the radar via the same scenario, as Matthew Doyle, had just been appointed by Labour HQ as a Labour peer and it turned out that he too had continued a relationship with Morton when he had “campaigned for Morton when he ran as an independent candidate in 2017, when he, Morton, had been charged but not yet convicted”.

    The BBC reported online that “Now it looks like internal party wheels have been turning which has also resulted in the suspension of Lord Doyle over his links with the same man”

    Also…….that…….”It is a bit of a party mystery why these suspensions have taken so long to enact – and why Lord Doyle is facing this just five weeks after being made a peer despite concerns being raised“.

    Labour need to remember that a lot of people ‘still have the receipts’ in respect to their many past and current Labour party scandals that they have tried to brush over , or with some that they have tried to obscure aka tried to cover up , all in the hope that neither the media nor the opposition will discover them and then expose them.

    (We could also highlight the Labour scandal linked to Sarwar’s “old friend” Lord Peter Mandelson who was given a role as a UK Ambassador by the Labour PM Sir Keir Starmer , despite Starmer knowing only too well that Lord Mandelson had indeed still maintained a friendship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, after he, Epstein, had been convicted).

    See two can play at Labour’s game…..but they seem to be relying upon voters either being ignorant of facts or forgetful on all of the Labour scandals and their lack of party procedure in dealing with some of those scandals , especially when they are first highlighted by an individual or the media.
