    Well I don't see anybody rushing to defend this vile man. It just proves my point, it would not have mattered one jot who was standing for election, as long as they were standing for the SNP. It wasn't the person that was important, it was gaining seats, at any cost.

    Really.......that's the best you can come up with? You been oan the bevvie or something?

    Anyway.......Dr Monaghan tweeted: “Sad to see the proud Jewish race, so ashamedly persecuted by the Nazis, now persecuting the people of #Gaza. Are memories so short?”

    Now, I believe he should maybe have worded it a bit better, but I can see where he is coming from, and agree with what he is trying to say. The people of Gaza are being treated atrociously by Israel.

    Just for the record though, I do not 100% support any political party, and don't believe anyone should. There are many things I disagree with regarding SNP policies, just as I do with other political parties, (some more than others) but I do want Independence for Scotland, and believe we can make it on our own, without Westminster. Notice, I say Westminster, not the English people!

    So what should I call myself Rob? A Moonitologist? Well I suppose that is better than a Numpty and there sure seems to be a lot of them aboot here!

    I'm wondering if you deliberately choose to ignore all his other repeated transgressions of what might normally be considered decent behaviour.

    He seems to make a habit of not wording things very well.


    Guess you get what you pay for 2nd rate party with 2nd rate politicians.

    Call yourself what you wish, point is the MP's past tweets are revealing a very nasty side to his character and thats a fact not an anti monaghan agenda he has brought it all on himself, its not only his tweet on Israel there's loads more he tweeted which you would not have expected from an aspiring MP, if you want scottish independence then there is only one party persuing this and thats the SNP so your an SNP voter who is now getting a bit wise to their non delivery ? How can we make it on our own when Sturgeon and Swinney have both tacitly dropped mention of indy 2.....they know we cant go out own way not until the economy can sustain an independent Scotland capable of delivering "their promises" The predominant zealous unquestioning belief shown by SNP supporters and the way the party is centrally controlled with all meaningful debate stifled is whether you like it or not akin to a cult ie moonies.

    Oh...just read your by line / mark twain quote....... does this apply to an MP stupid enough to make offensive tweets ????

    We have seen social media unbecoming of a MP several times from this guy now.We have Also seen a petition with somewhere in the region of a thousand signatures calling for his removal.How long can the SNP ignore his behaviour or the wishes of his constituents.Monaghan must go.

    The constituents voted him in. Apart from that, we don't know their wishes.

    Are there more Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross signatories than he had votes?

    Not that it matters: if it's not an election, he's not leaving. That's democracy in action.

    I'm afraid you are so wrong in your assumption that the SNP are the only party pursuing Independence. I would have thought you would have been up on this fact, since you are so knowledgeable in Scottish politics. I can confirm however that I am indeed an SNP voter at the present time, and proud of it. You are also wrong in thinking I believe they have not delivered. On the contrary, I believe they have performed well given the restraints placed on them by Westminster. Do you honestly believe we would be in a better place right now if Scottish Labour, Tories or Lib Dems were in power in Holyrood? Think about that and be honest.

    I stated I do not 100% agree with all SNP policies, I did not say they had failed in carrying them out.

    Don't doubt for a moment though that Indy2 is coming. It will when the time is right, and hopefully it will be done honestly this time!

    Regarding predominant zealous, unquestioning belief, shown by SNP supporters....where do you get this from? It is certainly not the case in any debates I have been involved in with SNP supporters. Quite the contrary in fact.

    And what exactly is this "centrally controlled" nonsense? The SNP is not a heating system, nor do they stifle meaningful debate. In fact they probably have more interaction with the public than any other party. I have personally filled in several questionnaires regarding my views on future debates and policies. Wonder when David Cameron or IDS ever did that?

    Moonies and cults again? I'm not even going to lower myself with a response.

    Regarding Mark Twain's little aphorism, it is open to anyone, including MPs, and.....

    I have not deliberately chosen to ignore anything. This thread is about his Jewish tweet, and that is what I responded to. Perhaps he does make a habit of not wording things very well, but I can't comment at this time on other things I have not read or looked into.

    So we now have the Times publishing an item on Dr Paul Monaghan and Andrew Neil fishing for more details on his behaviour. Seems as though this issue isn't vanishing and much as those who voted for this man may bury their head in the sand and try to ignore it, excuse it or agree with him the reality of his behaviour is no well and truly having the glare of National Media brought to bear on this area. Caithness is making the National Press frequently lately not as a place that's good to live but as a place that is stuck somewhere a 1970s time warp of bigoted behaviour.

    Really!! I can't see the SNP answering a straight question about currency or how we pay for the new state, exactly as before.I also cannot see Westminster granting a referendum any time soon

    It's not his voters' fault. They knew nothing about him and would have voted for a bag of tatties with an SNP rosette.

    I'm wondering how many food banks and how many people being refused life saving drugs by Scottish NHS the £15.8 million wasted on the referendum by the SNP would of paid for. Shabbychic is correct the SNP weren't the only party seeking independence but they were the main protagonists without whom most of the other parties wouldn't of bothered.

    Poor man can't help himself now he has posted about Home Insurance clearly not understanding the concept of shared risk and managed to get himself back in the national press quite simple because he doesn't understand the industry he has attacked.


    His latest piece of nonsense tweet below.



    .@_PaulMonaghan: 1 in 6 homes in England are at risk of flooding. In Scotland it's only 1 in 22 but all households will soon pay insurance levy! Fair? #SNP

    He made the national press ( again ) ok it was the Daily Mail but he is in the print edition.......once the press get their hooks in you they dont let go, he is being constantly refered to as a nationalist internet troll : maybe he needs a research assistant ie to check out the validity of his "thoughts" before he fires them out on social media, once out there the world see's them, so if he is posting on bona fide issues he needs a research input. There nowt his communications manager can do if he fires stuff out without checking there accuracy. Basically its not a social medai / communications manager he needs but a good research assistant who can hold him in check....thats if he is actually bothered on how the world see's him

    The problem being is, the Yes voters are so blinkered, all they actually care about is getting the 2nd Referendum and ultimately Independence. The only political party that shares their views and they think can secure Independence for them is the SNP. Which means, Paul Monaghan has a free reign, he can do or say whatever he wants it does not matter one jot, because he is SNP, they will vote for him regardless.
