Parliament is not working

I campaigned against the formation of a devolved Scottish Parliament.

Since the expensive opening we have witnessed with ever growing disbelief the scandal of the building project together with moves to create laws governing breast feeding in public, smacking children, liberalisation of sex discussion in schools and a ban on fox hunting.

All this and more while red tape is rampant and manufacturing jobs are rapidly being replaced by unproductive advisers and number crunchers. School standards are declining and violent crime is soaring.

When our MSPs carry out criminal activities such as falsely claiming transport, office and lodging expenses together with willful fire raising, it is too much to bear.

I wonder how many more would have campaigned with me had they known then what was to come to pass.
