Tou make continual allegations tha...Dear Mr Terry,<br /><br />Tou make continual allegations that Mr Laird is an SNP Supporter ( eg. "His views are distinctly unpleasant and he seems to strongly favour Scottish Nationalism but I’ve no idea if his love for the SNP is reciprocated. "), but anyone who has read his actual blog can see that he has attacked the SNP's performance, and the crazy antics of their "Ministers".<br /><br />Originally, when he set it up, Mr Laird did state that, "This blog is a Pro independence. I support the work the SNP Scottish Government does in helping making Scotland fairer and a better place to live."<br /><br />Seemingly though, when the SMP did actually gain office, and then failed to live up to Mr Laird's expectations, he then subjected the SNP to the same critical examination and exposure as he had done to Labour and others previously.<br /><br />Mr Laird has recently criticised politicians from ALL political parties, who are guilty of hypocrisy, or have underperformed, or deceived the public in some fashion. Now he has reappraised his stance, it seems, as the New "Guido Fawkes" in Glasgow.<br /><br />Perhaps readers of your blog may trouble themselves to actually read the first entry on Mr Laird's blog, where the entire raison d'etre is explained. Then try reading some of the INFORMATION which Mr Laird brings to light, instead of attacking him for past perceived slights.<br /><br />It seems to me that, though originally a partisan blog, which was set up to deal with the single issue which Mr Laird describes in his first (2007) posting, the thing has now become a beacon which draws attention to the foibles and prattfalls in the current Scottish Government regime. <br /><br />Thank You.<br /><br />ref:<br />1.

His blog and other contributions although appeared to be well-intentioned are confusing us who are actually member of the wider university. Mr Laird describes himself as politician in wait. One is either a politician or not a politician. If he is truely passionate about serving the public as a politician then my advise is to run for a public office as an independent instead of waiting for SNP or other parties to annoint him with offician candiadacy.<br /><br />Vichar Nuchsiri<br />Glasgow University drop-out 2000/2001<br />Graduate of University of Strathclyde Bsc Computer Science 2006<br /><br />Feel free to verify these claims and associations with the actual public record of both universitylearnerbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649828772490072682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-27662477460022554722012-04-16T12:31:45.054+00:002012-04-16T12:31:45.054+00:00maybe you should look and and learn

This is hardly the venue for me to express my opinions on the contents of that particular blog / campaign, but to call someone stupid for not having studied George's accusations of Human Rights Abuses by Glasgow University is hardly fair. <br /><br />I think most people would come to the conclusion that Glasgow university is going to be fairly low on Amnesty International's list of abusive organisations (I've certainly never seen it mentioned in my copies of Amnesty!) and much more likely to play host to an organisation dedicated to improving Human rights elsewhere. Feel free to correct me, but beware that my sympathies in Human rights abuses tends to extend to those mothers of the disappeared, those imprisoned and tortured without trial and the repressed of the 3rd world rather than student gripes about entry conditions.<br /><br />I'd love to see this letter which banned George for <br />"giving advice to an Asian" too.
