Given the place that the SNP has taken us to, with our hollowed-out institutions, record opiates mortalities and very real poverty and insecurity as a way-of-life for the many, why would anybody pay the faux apologia of a long recognised patter-merchant like Shepherd any attention at all?
ahahahaha - another drone who has suddenly found his voice and is able express his " concerns " now that the snP is coming under sustained fire due the exposure of ( some of ) the malign effects of the Sturgeon & successors' usurping of all democratic agency the party members once had and the ruthless concentrating of power into the slimy/sweaty hands of a tiny cabal: oh and the fact the former CEO was robbing the party blind for years.
NOW jokers like Sheppard speak out/up, ie long after the damage has been done. Next he and the other suddenly enlightened/concerned babes-in-the-wood will be telling us they knew all along there was something amiss but, alas, they all suffered a most mysterious prolonged attack of deaf/dumb/blindness which only abated after Lalique Pete pleaded guilty to embezzlement. Poor things, eh?
Of course there's a lot of truth in what Tommy Sheppard says, particularly when he references the centralisation of power and Stalinist clamp down on any critics imposed since Nicola Sturgeon became SNP leader.
But it's easy to say that now, when a lot - not all - of the noxious behaviour and financial shenanigans have been exposed. Better late than never I suppose.
However, he somewhat ruined the salient points he did make by saying "That process has started and I trust John Swinney to progress it".
Trust!? That has to be earned, not handed over free and gratis.
How about trying:
'Myself and others are going to keep John Swinney on his toes and make sure he delivers transparency and honesty in its internal processes as well as actively progressing it's reason for being'?
In any event John Swinney has been part of the leadership cabal (though not a party officer) over the whole period of this sorry and on-going saga. Anybody looking with a pair of clear eyes at the role the current SNP leader has played generally within the SNP hierarchy regarding the various scandals of the past decade will know that it's not an accident that he has earned the (ironic) Honest John nickname and Redactor Man moniker.
The performative 'let's ask the Scottish Parliament to give approval for us to ask the British Parliament to raise a section 30 order so that we can hold a vote on Independence' vote at Holyrood and the subsequent posturing is indicative entirely of a no change approach on the party's supposed raison d’être.
The SNP is a wounded animal..dangerous...unfortunately for Scotland not dangerous in the right way. I never bother with Sheppard..he's excluded from my schiltron of homicidal maniacs who want to see the invaders..aka foreign english sh*te ....removed from our land ..gone ..pronto and forever and then we can watch... yon wee foreign country.. south of OUR border wi no resources and nae free handoots fae Scotland...become a ..'wee cowerin' timorous beastie..oh whit a panics in thy breastie" ( Ref :Burns)..that'll be foreign england ..nae crutch tae lean on....Scotland gone..no wonder they are fighting tooth and claw to hold on to us...it means their survival...
Sheppard has put his head on the block?.so chop it off...Our fight for freedom does not allow for failure Sheppard.....so bu**er off ..you failed.....success means Scotland's survival as a nation.....and that comes first.

Indeed. He should never have given up his eponymous Joke Shop!
ps that reference/joke will only make sense to ( mostly ) Glaswegians of " certain age "

No, I don't buy it either.
