£7k, now go away

-

MSP Mark Mcdonald has collected a £7,000 pay-off since quitting the Scottish Government in disgrace, parliament­ary bosses have confirmed. Read his Wikipedia page. He has never held a “real” job since leaving university. When a pig has its nose in the trough (especially a large pig) it is very difficult to remove the animal until the food runs out – 2021 maximum.

Brian Munro No doubt straight into a savings account. He’ll need it when he is unemployed in 2021, if not before.

The Font While a member of the police force is in hospital following a chemical attack this guy walks away with an unearned £7K for alleged bad behaviour. Makes you feel an uneasy squirm about Scottish politics.

Ingin Johnnie After former Cabinet Minister Damian Green was sacked by the Prime Minister for lying over inappropri­ate behaviour, he received a £17,000 payoff. Damian Green is still a serving Member of Parliament.

Hog-weed There is something far wrong with the system that gives any MSP further funds that they have not earned. Time to amend their selfappoin­ted payments which we ultimately pay.

Johnenosee No surprise – the guy has no shame or integrity.

So Hot I can see no reason whatsoever for this payment – Mcdonald still has a £60k job.

oneworld72 You could do away with the whole lot and everything and everyone except them would be better off.

Willy Spinny Time all of these backhander payments were scrapped!
