Letters / Pack your bags

In light of the news that our newly re-elected Westminster MP has apologised for what can only be seen as an attempted smear/scare campaign against Nicola Sturgeon I have a few simple questions:

1) Why initially did he deny to Channel 4 news he had any knowledge of the memo when in truth he sanctioned the release of it?

2) Why did he not come clean prior to any inquiry which would of saved money in these tough times?

3) When is he going to resign for openly lying to the public on TV?

Yet again the true face of our politicians has come out and as people who vote them in we can just as easily boot them out.

These dinosaurs are behind the times. There is no hiding from social media and I advise Carmichael and all other MPs/MSPs to take heed.

Pack your bags.
