“Fake News” is more believable than what comes out of the SNP

typical SNP, out for whatever money they can get their hands on.

Dear oh dear. SNP at it again. God it's a depressing thought they'll get in again in May. I really do feel politically homeless going into this upcoming election, no idea what to do.

I’ve got no reason to defend this woman, but I would just point out that it sounds like anyone can make an anonymous allegation about a person in receipt of benefits, and then that can be reported on, even if the allegation is spiteful.

Maybe she is at it, but there’s no evidence in that article to back that up.

Agree with you….however, given that these are the sort of questions she’s answered in order to get her (possibly fraudulent) benefit, one wonders how she also thinks she is fit to do the job of an MSP….

I think she’s a grifter of the highest order.

**sorry see below forgot to add!!

Hmm…

I suspect that’s quite a selective list, and also that most people aren’t getting the top whack of 10k a year.

I don’t disagree that people with anxiety and autism who nonetheless can hold down a job and cope with life probably don’t need disability benefits.

On the other hand, we generally wouldn’t say that a visually impaired person who finds public transport difficult, or a young person who gets extra time or a scribe in exams due to dyslexia, were hopeless cases who couldn’t go on to be an MSP. Sometimes people do just need a bit of support to level the playing field.

Also, I don’t remember Jackie Baillie frothing at the mouth anything like as much as this when one of her party’s MSP was revealed to be close personal friends with a known child sex offender.

That's not really how it works, none of those statements could apply to you and you'd still get ADP. It's points based and you need to score a certain amount of points (unless terminally ill).

I see she’s now stood down, so I at least partially eat my hat!

Well that’s something…👍
