I'm not doubting that at all Jim. Both offences ultimately still deserving of resignation but the abject hypocrisy from the Tories (and certain RW media) is as usual so f###### glaring when it comes to condemning one of their own offenders esp when their govt stuck to defending such an offender with no contrition attached to him whatsoever. He had to go but didn't, unlike Calderwood up here in Scotland!! We'll see if Ferrier opts to resign and leave parliament or do what a lotta these hi-profile offenders do, as previously observed in Westminster and Holyrood - opt to stay, pick up the big annual salary and become an independent politician. I must also add that it struck me at lunch time perhaps Ferrier should've been on the podium that the FM occupied and fielded the criticisms and explained her position instead of Nicola doing it on behalf of another offender AGAIN!
