BBC NEWS | Scotland | Alexander reported over donations

Quote:

Wendy Alexander has said she will not step down as Scottish Labour leader, after being reported to prosecutors for not declaring donations.
The Holyrood watchdog referred her to the procurator fiscal for not recording gifts to her leadership campaign in the MSPs' register of interests

It's almost like they want the British people to think the whole British system is so corrupt, that it needs be replaced. I wonder what with?

You wouldn't imagine, to hear Alexander trot out her excuses about "being advised", that she (and her gobby brother Douglas) is a solicitor by profession. If she can't read and understand rules, how the heck does she and her bossy, incompetent party expect the rest of us to do so?

They are getting a taste of the unnecessarily complicated regulations governing candidates in elections, in addition to codes of conduct for councillors. (A number of significant provisions in the codes MPs have (as with the FOI) exempted themselves from - balancing budgets on pain of being surcharged being just one.)

There are no so many laws, regulations and judgements now that no one knows which way to turn! Householders are afraid to defend themselves and their property. Parents and teachers are afraid to discipline schoolchildren. Police are afraid to stop and question people.

The whole lot need clearing out, along with those who have been found cubby holes in the Lords in their dotage!

PISH!!!!!
