Dear Mum,
Weather is here. Wish Ruth was lovely! Tee hee!
Having a fine time in posh Tory Harrogate spending taxpayer’s money! Tee hee!
Took three servants with me and spent £563.52 mainly on cup-cakes. Yum!
I see someone has requested a Freedom of Information release on my expenses for the trip. Here it is. Looks like a wee-remedial Annie job. Or wee-willie Willie? Or wee Moanica? Tee hee!
Love & Kisses
Nicks
Information requested: You asked for cost of travel, accommodation, meals, security, staff support with regards to the First Minister’s trip to Harrogate which will be borne by the taxpayer.
Response: The answer to your question is that the First Minister covered all travel and subsistence costs in a personal capacity. With regards to support staff, the First Minister was supported by three members of staff and their costs were £563.52 in total.

While we need to be transparent in the reporting of the spending of public money, questions like this are simply petty cavilling.
What questions are allowed to be asked at company AGMs about the expenses paid to executives and Directors? And, if they are asked, do they make any difference, because the institutional votes simply override them. And, the institutional votes are mainly determined by those who do not just have their snots in the trough, but are up to their oxters in it, from the feet up.

Knowing the Tories this is entirely possible, but did Scottish Tories really demand public inquiry?

Meanwhile, The Boris* is spending money in England like a drunken Bullingdon Boy (no, that’s not true—in that case it would have been Paters money) to pave the way for an election (all of us this time).
In todays press, Ruthie is also paving the way—– “I salute the rank, not the person”—– for a wee pat on her sycophantic bonce from the Blond One (AKA King of the World)..
No longer Operation Arse—now its Operation Kiss Arse!

I am sure i saw it somewhere ,the League table of FOI requests from the lazy and the useless , who apparently feel the need to waste everyone’s time , I believe all the information is out there , expecting any titbits and ammunition to beat the SNP be handed to you on a plate is just bloody cheek .

Someone has to given this request time and effort and a cost to the taxpayer, I bet investigating the FOI cost more than the FM visit. Honestly these Tory’s are a bloody joke, complete money wasting time wasting shower of incompetents.

But then, what would the Brit nat press print in their yellow pages?—-“Exclusive from our Ruthie, Vote Ruthie (a Boris fur me, a Boris fur me, If you’re no a Boris, you must be Nickee……….) and Wee Wullie roving correspondents”!
And what would BBC Reporting SNPBadness talk about in their evening “wir aw’ doomed” show.
Just because Jaikie is no longer in the picture doesn’t mean the horror ends…………………………..
