Reports a female MSP had a secret recording device planted in her office by a member of her own staff are "completely and utterly unacceptable", SNP leader John Swinney has said.
Scottish parliament officials are investigating the alleged bugging incident by a man, which is said to have taken place in 2023 at Holyrood.
The Scotsman newspaper reported the staffer is still involved with the SNP and moved on to work with a male MP after the issue came to light.

Hypocrisy much?

Fun fact about Noam Chomsky.
In the early 2000's he had a meeting with Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah in Lebanon.
He convinced him to drop his antagonism towards jews and to focus only on 'zionism'.
He told him that America controlled Israel as it's puppet and not the other way around.
He also said under no circummstances would the israelis ever kill him.
This is what happens when you trust THESE PEOPLE even if they say they are 'anti-zionist'.

Geese are being stolen from a park with locals fearing they are 'being taken to eat' on Christmas Day, a councillor has said.
Black Ash Park in Newport is well known for having scores of geese and ducks that visitors love to see and feed.
However, the popular birds are vanishing from the park amid concern the missing animals may be linked to upcoming Christmas dinners.
Around 250,000 geese are eaten every Christmas across Britain, with the average bird feeding six people according to the British Poultry Council.
Locals online have responded to the disappearances, suggesting 'migrants were to blame' after historic concerns over eastern Europeans taking swans and carps from British waterways - though there is no evidence to support this theory.
