There are many who say what is going on within the SNP leadership has nothing to do with people out-with the Party. In many respects that is true but only 50% true!
Because this is no ordinary Leadership race. In one respect I don’t care who becomes Leader of the SNP but in another sense, this person will become The First Minister and that does affect us all.
The kind of person who will eventually lead this country, hopefully towards Independence is very important.
The disgraceful onslaught of the media on Kate Forbes over the past couple of days does not reflect well on Scotland in particular the Scottish Press. What is more disturbing however is the lack of condemnation from Humza! Ash Denholm has condemned it but no one else from the SNP hierarchy, instead many have condemned her for being so honest yet they have all known for year’s what her Faith beliefs were. It seems Faith is only a Protected Status when people feel like it.
Such is the integrity of the SNP at large.
Having any kind of honesty and integrity is one of thee most important requirements of any Leader.
Today one of the most important statements regarding this Leadership race has been announced and it is quite astonishing although very welcome.
We all have Faith in something or someone, we all have different beliefs on many subjects but we don’t ram them down people’s throats. Let us never forget the GRR Bill was rammed down our throats to the point where not even the SNP MEMBERS we’re given a say. So please don’t accuse people with a personal Faith of being dangerous.
The dangerous ones are the ones who silence everyone who disagrees with the ongoing agenda.
