Patrick Harvie - disgusting excuse for a man

Did anyone else see his "tribute" in the parliament yesterday? Sturgeon behaved herself and spoke respectfully to the new King. As did Cole-Hamilton and Sarwar. Then that wee numpty Harvie gets up and rattles on about change coming.

Don't forget that he and his cronies staged a walk-out when the parliament debated the Jubilee in June.

He's an embarrassment and an utter fanny.

What? I'm not sure what North Korea has to do with it.

Who is forcing you to mourn?

Hypocrite. Happy to take a day that is specifically to honour the queen's funeral?

No, I'm not 'happy', I'd rather be at work as I've already said, but I don't have any option as the office is closed.

Maybe you could work from home or donate the hours to charity or donate your earnings

Working from home is not possible due to the nature of what I do, and as it's actually a charity I work for and it's typical that I put in far more than my salaried hours every week, no, I will not be donating anything.

Patrick Harvie is disgusting for so many reasons, especially his destruction of womens rights and the way he is damaging Scottish housing.

But it’s a democracy and republicans should be allowed to express their views.

He's a wee nyaff!

Absolutely.
Scotland has been seen in an amazing light these past few days then he goes and does that.

BinBandit · 14/09/2022 12:27

No-one is being forced to mourn, no-one is saying that people can't express republican views. What people are saying is that the time and place was not appropriate given that other people are mourning and I'm sure his views will still be the same next week.

The death of the Queen is of enormous historical significance across the world and of personal pain to her family and wider circle. I'm sure everyone who has lost a parent knows how hard that is.

PH is just an ill mannered goat who is in a position very much above his popularity, intelligence and emotional abilities.

Precipice · 14/09/2022 14:16

"enormous historical significance across the world" Give over. It's not the French Revolution or the collapse of the Soviet Union.

BinBandit · 14/09/2022 17:32

Yes because the death of the queen of 15 countries who has reigned for 70 years and who's demise might end centuries of royalty is really not of enormous historical significance. Okaaaay.

Sorry, why should I 'definitely work on Monday'?

CrabbitBastard · 14/09/2022 20:08

I can't abide him. Its one thing to disagree on something but another to be so nasty about it, and he is nasty nearly all the time.
I was in an online meeting with him and his facial expressions, mannerisms and tone to people making valid points was just infuriating. All the other politicians, including SNP, were polite and professional. (It wasn't about indyref btw)

So you don't think it's hypocritical to moan about being forced to mourn and accepting a day off given for the queen's funeral?

Teach12 · 15/09/2022 09:20

The Queen herself would not expect everyone to watch her funeral. Have a word with yourself. You're the only one who seems to have this attitude towards next Monday.

BinBandit · 15/09/2022 09:39

Of course she wouldn't. There will be millions of people who do other things on the day. But I would think that most of those know that it's hypocritical to be complaining that they are being forced to mourn and then happily accept a day off specific to the queens funeral. That's the difference. Enjoy your day off though.

Teach12 · 15/09/2022 09:53

Incase it wasn't clear, my North Korea comment was solely referring to you.

KassandraOfSparta · 13/09/2022 14:35

There's a time and a place.

Three days after the death of the Queen, when her grieving son is sitting yards from you, is neither. He should have declined to speak at all. Arse.

“There’s a time and a place”. Oh yes, that line is being trotted out all over the place. Basically, it means “shut up, and get in line”. When is the right time and place - next week, next month? You’d probably say the same thing then.

A gentle reminder - healthy democracy is all about people dissenting and not being told to pipe down. At any time.

Y0uCann0tBeSer10us · 15/09/2022 15:23

I have to confess I was embarrassed to hear Patrick Harvie give his speech and thought it was entirely inappropriate and reflected poorly on the Scottish Parliament. It was a perfect opportunity to show case Scotland to the world and instead we get that. There is obviously a conversation to be had about the monarchy and I think with the Queen passing we probably will hear more of it soon, but days after she passes, with her son in front of you unable to respond or defend himself in any way, was most definitely not the right time! It's like attending a funeral for someone you didn't like much and standing up to slag them off in front of their family - you just wouldn't, you'd keep quiet! Nicola (who I don't usually like by any stretch) spoke well, recalling fond memories of the time she spent with the queen, and was sympathetic to Charles, which is surely the only appropriate thing to do during a 'Motion of Condolence' mere days after someone has lost their mother. All of the other leaders were equally respectful, and then we get Patrick Harvie who not only implies that the monarchy's days are numbered right in front of a King who's in mourning, but also manages to shoe-horn comments about his pet obsession of LGBTQ rights! The man is more in step with a student's union rather than Government.

Completely agree @Y0uCann0tBeSer10us - PH has a right to say whatever, I have a right to think he misjudged and mistimed his comments.

VinoDino · 16/09/2022 10:42

There's only two men (!) who when appear on the telly my vagina clamps itself shut - Patrick Harvie and Owen Jones. Awful, horrible men.

Im glad he spoke up, this continuous arse licking it beyond a joke. Someone needs to talk sense and he did.

Cheekymaw · 16/09/2022 19:57

He is indeed a wee nyaff. I am a solid republican and do think the monarchy has had it's day. However, Harvie is a rude, misogynist arsehole who has no sense of decency whatsoever. He also hates women.
Oh and I am working on Monday anyway!(NHS)

Baystard · 16/09/2022 20:01

I don't like Patrick harvie.

However. When is the time? The system means that the period of mourning happens simultaneously with proclaiming the new monarch, if they don't like it they should separate the two.

@Baystard I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a period of respect before launching into these things as they could be discussed any time, but if you’re looking for a more high profile time to discuss the Pros and Cons of the Monarchy, perhaps the King’s coronation? Charles was proclaimed King immediately because otherwise there would be no monarch and we can’t have no one in the role (they actually do quite a lot of work in governing), much like we can’t have no Prime Minister. Perfectly reasonable IMO 🤷🏻‍♀️

mummywithtwokidsplusdog · 18/09/2022 17:48

I’m not a fan of his at all. He has a right to be against the monarchy etc but I think some of the things he says are absolute madness- the anal sex etc questionnaire etc…. Why did everyone ,including him, think that was ok?
