Murdo Fraser is having a very bad month, now it looks like it is about to get much worse. The Tory List MSP is to be the subject of a Holyrood investigation into bullying.
At the start of May Fraser was looking to win his first ever Holyrood election. Again he failed.
His faith in Danny Rohl winning the SPFL died a death on the back of four successive defeats. Naturally he switched to Hearts just as they were overtaken by Celtic to the title.
As a last throw of the dice Fraser discovered that Dunfermline falls inside his Mid-Scotland combined constituency. The inevitable happened at Hampden.
Having been rejected repeatedly for a constituency seat Fraser has been returned as a List MSP seven times since starting to draw a Holyrood salary.
Topping up his claim to be the James Tavernier of Scottish politics he also lost out last year to Russell Findlay in his bid to become leader of the Scottish Tories. Follow following in the footsteps of Douglas Ross.
Certain standards are expected in public life. Not much but some basic levels of decency are meant to be maintained.
As a born loser Fraser doesn’t understand decency and behaviour in public life. He doesn’t realise that his message board conduct can’t be repeated in public while drawing a Holyrood salary.
Peter Murrell’s conviction was all that was needed for Fraser and other losers to pile in.
MURDO FRASER- THE LOSER’S LOSER
They couldn’t have less for Murrell or the SNP but they do detest Nicola Sturgeon. An election winning machine. Something that the List MSP for Mid Scotland will never achieve.
The Sturgeon pile on hasn’t just involved keyboard warriors. It includes someone draining a salary out of Holyrood.
When Kelly Given, of Channel 4 and The National, defended Sturgeon Fraser just couldn’t hold back.
He went straight in, demonstrated all the diplomacy of an angry bear. And crossed the line.
Now Fraser can justify his actions to the Holyrood standards committee.
A man has literally admitted to the crime, but let’s hold his wife responsible instead. Nothing misogynistic to see here. 👍🏼 https://t.co/c0h9hrlJmw

Typical of a bear Fraser could have chosen his words better. But when you have been unaccountable for 25 years it is understandable that

Section 7 of the MSP Code of Conduct states:
Members must not behave in a manner towards those individuals in 7.5 or any individuals they are in contact with in their capacity as MSPs that involves bullying, harassment (including sexual harassment), or any other inappropriate behaviour.
The good news for Fraser is that there are only five days left in May, additionally Celtic won’t be winning any trophies this season.
As an independent voice in Scotland Given is an absolute rarity.
Last week she rallied against the media fury that erupted over Celtic’s SPFL title win.
Putting some facts and context into the public domain certainly goes against the grain where Celtic are concerned.
No doubt that was in Fraser’s thoughts when Given defended Sturgeon. Creating a combination that a true bile loser like Fraser was never going to be able to resist.
