The SNP has fired through multiple leaders in recent months, and it now looks to be doing the same with CEOs. After former Daily Record editor Murray Foote announced his resignation last week, the Nats have appointed a new interim chief executive – who has already managed to cause quite a stir…
Carol Beattie was formerly the CEO of Stirling Council until she stepped down earlier this year, releasing a rather scathing resignation letter in the process. As reported by the Scottish Daily Mail, Beattie blasted party decisions after lamenting the council authority had suffered ‘more than a decade of cuts to its budget’, which is decided by the, er, SNP government. In the same note, Beattie warned the nationalist lot: ‘The regard for local government will surely have to return or we will see the societal consequences for years to come.’ Ouch. Tory chairman Craig Hoy slammed the new SNP chief, noting: ‘During her time as an ‘impartial’ civil servant at Stirling Council, Carol Beattie quite rightly hit out at the SNP for inflicting 17 years of savage cuts to our local authorities. Despite this, she has totally disregarded her principles by joining the party responsible for the self-same cuts.’ It certainly is quite the move…
And there’s more. The revelations of Beattie’s Nat attack comes after the new SNP chief was forced to apologise and delete social media interactions after sharing a distasteful Twitter post that suggested Britain’s Royal Family should be executed. After the Princess of Wales was praised for making a public appearance during her battle with cancer, Beattie shared a tweet that said: ‘F*** all the way off with your gold plated serfdom! Time for the French solution to monarchy and sycophantic “journalists”.’ Good heavens. In another previous post, the new party chief executive herself wrote that ‘intelligent people don’t support the monarchy’, adding that royalists ‘use them as symbols of their bigotry or xenophobic values’. Charming. The separatists really know how to choose their higher-ups well, eh?
