SNP porkies continue…

[Foxyboy43]

Crivens! Another one has finally, finally gone! You don’t think it has anything to do with the forthcoming report which might, just might show that “footba” was not all that he his son was watching on the government computer - on holiday - and on the taxpayer?

I'm sure he was just watching the football, just that it was women's football and the 22 women featured had forgotten to wear their footy strips.

Oh, and there was more than one ball evident.

He should never have had his "expenses" signed off in the first place.......who signed the claim off initially??? Considering there is supposed to be a maximum payment permissible of £200, it raises more questions. Added to that Hamas Useless stood by him and gave him his "complete support", which shows how inept this complete rabble are.
My only fear is that the SNP/Green idiots have still got another two years to screw everything else up before they're booted out!
Mind you, when you see the financial black hole in NHS Scotland's finances, I would imagine Matheson would be only too pleased to go!

Their accounting is the only thing that makes my maths look good .

Not excusing the man but I don't think it was an expenses claim as such. It was the bill to his official mobile which would be automatically paid.
That said there should have been a system that flagged this level of bill,or better still a data limit.
I worked fora Scot Govt agency unit recently. There used to be a limit on data usage but this was removed so that staff could use Teams or access systems uninterrupted while mobile or from home

Useless was too busy funnelling money to support renovating his uncles house and getting relatives here from Gaza…

To be fair, it is much easier to spend someone else’s money.

Yeah, but you might have to wait another 4 years and pay 8 times the price

What really boils my proverbial is the electorate’s utter blindness to all their serial shenanigans - a bunch of gutter “politicians” of the lowest order odour.

The electorate as a whole are very much aware. It's only those ignorant fools who keep their heads in the sand, a la three monkeys.

Lazy racism IMHO

Indeed, however the fact he was using an out of date sim card in his iPad (against advice from the Holyrood guidance) and he tried to have the bill reduced despite it being his own responsibility and then was quite happy to have the bill paid for until the facts hit the press......and then he agreed to pay it.
They are all made aware of the correct messaging procedures and phone/mobile/ipad contracts - not that you would guess it from the shenanigans surrounding the Covid enquiry and the missing whatsapp messages but that's another story.....

 

[Foxyboy43]

“the missing whatsapp messages”
But vait a minute heinie, they ver only carrying out orders…..

 

[rem284]

Oh, I do think that lot are partial to pork pies

It will be redacted so you can't see anything juicy.

Just wait til Labour get in and have a rummage through the drawers. The Civil Service will have to destroy all the hard drives to hide their collusion.

So that’s guilty as (not yet) charged then, hen?

Michael Matheson breached Holyrood rules over £11,000 iPad bill, inquiry concludes

Michael Matheson took the parliamentary iPad with him on a week-long visit to Morocco with his family around Christmas 2022. His roaming charges for the iPad - not phone calls - totalled nearly £11,000.
