‘ The faction he might be talking about would be the one that has used internal complaints procedures within the Scottish Green party to silence and remove those they didn't like. An example of this, which I am familiar with, is the case of Guy Ingerson and Maggie Chapman. Guy Ingerson was bullied for over two years and prevented from taking his place as the lead candidate for the Scottish Greens in the North East of Scotland because someone complained about him for something. Those that were supposed to check his situation haven't provided any answers for 6 months straight. The election arrived, he was left with no option but to stand aside and the main beneficiary of this was Maggie Chapman, who is the one that has been bullying him in vile ways. Of course, she is not the head of this evil, but rather one of the corrupt elitists within the Scottish Greens.
Just a few weeks after that, it happened again with someone who was chosen to stand as the candidate in a local by-election in Aberdeen. It was all of a sudden, right after she was voted in. It was bare-faced corruption... Unfortunately, these aren't the only cases. There are plenty more that have occured, and I am only aware of a few of them.
Because of this situation, and with no clear stance from the Scottish Greens to address this, they are clearly institutionally corrupt. This comes also with the fact that they talk but never deliver and that their dialogue is increasingly becoming complaining about others, rather than offering practical solutions (an example is how, similar to the SNP, they never talk about how to deliver Scottish Independence). So, as far as I'm concerned, they are very much on their way to be a tribute act to Starmer's Labour, unless something changes, and with Scottish politics looking more and more like Westminster and USA politics (false choice between the outright evil and those that only talk but never deliver). I am particularly disgusted about the wasted time and efforts of those who want to do something genuinely good.
Now, I have absolutely NO idea what the fraud McKenna is on about, on how any of that relates to Forbes and the SNP, over which the Greens have little to no say.’
