It also feels like the villa in Portugal details are being included to reinforce the fact that the Murrells are champagne socialists, just like the rest of them, yet most of the tenure was spent with the act of the ‘hard done by Scot, punished by the Tories in the 80s/90s, we are humble, people in Scotland suffer under Westminster, blah, blah, rant, rant etc, etc’.
People don’t see the neglect in the constituencies by the gravy train passengers, those who are only in it for themselves and actually don’t care whether there’s real issues impacting those who voted for them. As long as they’re calling out Westminster it appeases the sheeple and buys into the narrative they are serving Scotland better (see: ‘free stuff’). They are no better and relatively speaking they are much worse, as the population of their council area to govern is much less than the rest of the U.K. It’s just a lot of people have fallen for the speeches and the image. Sad times ahead for Scotland.
