Talk:Richard Simpson (Scottish politician)

Reason for resignation in 2002

Untitled

There have been repeated attempts on this page to remove the reason for Richard Simpson's resignation.

It is well documented and relevant to the subject matter. Including his appointment, but not the reason for his resignation, makes no sense.

The use of "fascist" and "bastard" in connection with the firefighters is admitted by the subject of the article - although the context of these words will remain a matter of dispute between Dr Simpson and those present at the dinner.
