@ScotTories The lazy invocation of 'common sense' (not just in terms of oil and gas), as well as being unspecific and essentially meaningless, usually signals political and ideological charlatanism, opportunism and redundancy. So very 'on-message' for the Tories...

@CraigWHoy1 "common sense"...

@74frankfurt 1978: my then girlfriend and I sitting at the seats below one of those upper windows. She tells me - gently - that I was not satisfying her sexually, and what I needed to do to rectify this situation. Most useful advice I ever had. It was a learning curve. We were both fifteen...

@CraigWHoy1 But clearly Scottish Conservatives don't believe in self-awareness...

@norriehamp @Peston @lisanandy @MPIainDS @SayeedaWarsi I’m afraid you lost me at ‘Douglas Alexander…’.

[doucementsvp @doucementsvp]

@CraigWHoy1 Your approach to this does beg the question: in whose interests are you acting? Clearly not those around public health. So? The drinks lobby? A constituent complaining about a couple of quid on a bottle of Laphroaig? Yourself, even? Hmm...

@CraigWHoy1 @RussellFindlay1 "...talking common sense..."

@CraigWHoy1 Assume you’ll be all over this too?

@CraigWHoy1 You're paid(!) to represent me as a list MSP, yet are incapable of any clear moral or ethical consistency. It's both pathetic and amusing; ultimately you're simply amplifying that you are a huge waste of space and resources... do your job and stop posturing...

[doucementsvp @doucementsvp]

@CraigWHoy1 To be clear: your tweet suggests that in accepting financial donations MPs have serious questions to answer. Therefore the same questions should be levelled at MPs from your own party. Yet you do not suggest this. This renders anything you say on this matter meaningless...

[doucementsvp @doucementsvp]

@fesshole But splitting an infinitive seems to cause you little concern…

[doucementsvp @doucementsvp]

@CraigWHoy1 @yesterdairies Surely, as a Conservative, you would believe that market forces should prevail? Or did you forget conveniently the monopoly capitalism that your party has championed & directed (water companies, etc.) - to all our detriment, local or not - over the last five or so decades?
