Pass on question

My MSP asked a question at Holyrood on my behalf. It was about the requirement for reassessment every three years for the severely disabled to renew their travel pass. A perfectly reasonable question as reassessment entails administration fees and assumes someone may miraculously walk again.

However, Kenneth Gibson of the SNP used my question to insult my Tory MSP and then went on a rant about how the Tories treat the disabled. Thank you Mr Gibson. You have demeaned my question with your ignorance. A valid point by any member of the public for whom you work is worthy of respect but in your world it is an opportunity for an attack on the wicked Tories.

I have asked to speak to Mr Gibson but I am still waiting for him to respond to me and deliver an apology. I imagine it will be a long wait.
