Brian Souter’s party abstained on sexual orientation discrimination regs
Interesting to see that, of the 6 SNP MPs, 1 voted for the sexual orientation discrimination regulations, 1 voted against, and 4 sat on their hands.
This, just days after receiving half a million pounds from Scotland’s homophobe-in-chief, Brian Souter.
Did they abstain to avoid provoking their new cash cow? What implications does this have for the Scottish Parliament? The Scottish public have a right to know.
Interesting to note that the MP who voted against them was Angus MacNeil. Angus has been lionised in the media over the last few months because of his involvement in the cash-for-peerages allegations. To read the Guardian over the last year, you would think he was a candidate for sainthood. Perhaps those journalists might want to revise their opinions of the man.

How very strange that all those people posting comments to defend the SNP the last time Quaequam criticized the party have nothing to say now… Where are you all?

I was wondering that myself.

Bloody disgrace! This pretty obviously something the SNP sold out on. Thanks for publishing this. It is the height of bad taste that they even took money from this man who through is religious beliefs allegedly holds the controversial opinion that homosexuality can be cured!
