Half of filing America gets swallied up and film all of them even know where Ireland is. He is a dick with lungs.Is St. Patrick’s day only for Irish catholics? I thought the whole of Ireland celebrated it, which would include non catholic groups.

Of course not - but poisonous types like Dornan are desperate to convey that impression. It’s a complete and utter lie.What's being Catholic got to do with it? Do you have to be Catholics to be Irish?
I'll never accept it and I'm willing to go down any route that has to be taken.But it’s an industry in Scotland and it really should be a national embarrassment that poisonous little b@stards like him are able to spout this garbage and hardly anyone questions it. Too many are afraid to challenge it and all it’s doing is building up more and more resentment and anger which won’t easily fizzle out, it fills me with dread what things are going to be like in an Independent Scotland which I think is now inevitable, it’s just a matter of time now imho.
Quite a claim to fame. Up against some stiff opposition.He's the biggest fanny currently residing in Scotland
Overplayed his hand big time with this nonsense. Must have been so emboldened by the video nonsense that he got all carried away.
It seems like he's being very discriminativeIs St. Patrick’s day only for Irish catholics? I thought the whole of Ireland celebrated it, which would include non catholic groups.
And so say all of us Unionists!He's an utter disgrace. But he can do and say as he pleases. If you voted for this guy you're a fcuking cretin. Simple as that.
Is he stupid ?
or is he premiditated and dangerous?
St Patrick isn't even Irish. That's the best part
I find it incredible in this day and age that the code of conduct for an MSP does not extend to their social media.I complained about him, this was the response. Admitted he was wrong, but not going to do anything about him.
Thank you for your recent email in which you raise concerns about the conduct of James Dornan MSP on social media.
I do appreciate your view that Mr Dornan made a number of inappropriate comments on social media. I understand the points you make and your concern at this behaviour, but I am sorry to say that it is not a matter that the Presiding Officer is able to help you with. The responsibilities of the Presiding Officer include investigating complaints about members’ conduct in the Chamber and how members engage with their constituents, I’m afraid that individual MSPs are responsible for the content of their own Twitter accounts and therefore the Presiding Officer does not have any oversight role with this. In addition, the Code of Conduct for MSPs, which sets out the standards of behaviour which MSPs have to follow, does not extend to MSPs’ remarks on social media.
I appreciate you may be disappointed by this response, but I would suggest that writing to Mr Dornan might be the best way for you to raise your concerns directly.
Yours sincerely

He should now be reminded of " anti-Kafflik " Lothian Buses every time he makes an arse of himself on social media.
The old hokey cokey.. another one that totally backfired on themIt didnt stop Michael "Hokey Cokey" Matheson from continuing to thrive in Scottish politics. A complete and utter embarrassment.
And he has plenty of competition for that title, he epitomises the absolute lack of quality of what passes for politicians in this little faux republic.He's the biggest fanny currently residing in Scotland

So effectively a member of the Scottish parliament can do and say what he wants & isn't answerable to anyone. Fek sakes imagine the reaction if say a Tory politician behaved like that what wee Nicks reaction would be.I complained about him, this was the response. Admitted he was wrong, but not going to do anything about him.

That would be too good for him.Maybe lothians buses should invite him to one of the brickings?
One law for these turds and another for the rest of us.I find it incredible in this day and age that the code of conduct for an MSP does not extend to their social media.
Victimised extortionists one and all, that banner of ambulance chasing sums them up to a tea ? Oppressed, downtrodden people, my arse.Like The Hagg, Findlay, 3Names and Smelly Spiers, Dornan has cottoned on to the fact there’s money to be made from the whole sectarian cottage industry
I mean, he/they aren’t at Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton levels of shaking down corporations etc for money, but it’s only a matter of time
And there will be Rangers supporters among themThe serious problem is that folk today actually vote for this nutcase.
A NATS MSP was today accused of “making up bigotry” after linking the cancellation of bus services due to anti-social behaviour to “anti-Irish racism”.
James Dornan said the decision by Lothian Buses to suspend evening services on March 17 suggested the operator had concluded “Irish Catholics were to blame for this rise in anti-social behaviour” because it coincided with St Patrick’s Day.
He made the claim in a parly speech and later tweeted to say he’d raised “the ongoing issue of anti-Catholic bigotry and anti-Irish racism”, adding: “For far too long accepted as part of Scottish life. Things are changing but we still have a fair way to go to sort this out.”
But Mr Dornan, SNP MSP for Glasgow Cathcart, was slapped down by opposition politicians, who insisted buses were axed because of “straightforward vandalism” after vehicles were pelted with bricks and drivers abused by yobs in some parts of Edinburgh - and not because of a “sectarian slight”.
Ian Murray, Labour MP for Edinburgh South, said: “A Glasgow MSP making up bigotry about Edinburgh. What a fool. For the record, it was because bricks were being thrown through bus windows endangering lives.”
Alex Cole-Hamilton, Lib Dem MSP for Edinburgh Western, said: “I’ve clashed with (James Dornan) before, but this is utterly contemptible.
“Lothian drivers had suffered nights of abuse and physical assault via stoning before the company suspended services. This was not some sectarian slight.
“He should apologise to Lothian and to parliament.”
And Neil Findlay, former Labour MSP for the Lothian region, said: “When the situation emerged I contacted Unite Scotland to find out what was going on with attacks on their members and urged government to help resolve the situation.
“At no time was sectarianism mentioned - it was straightforward vandalism.”
Lothian Buses announced it was cancelling all services after 7.30pm on the night of March 17 across Edinburgh and the Lothians to ensure customer and driver safety following a spate of attacks.
And in April it confirmed some of its services would be diverted away from particular routes.
Police have since charged 38 children and young people during an operation targeting antisocial behaviour and violence towards Lothian Buses drivers.
During a Scottish Government justice debate at Holyrood Thursday, Mr Dornan pointed to March 17 being St Patrick’s Day and said he could “only assume” Lothian Buses had concluded “Irish Catholics were to blame for this rise in anti-social behaviour”.
He added: “Why else cancel buses only for the night of a ubiquitous Irish Catholic holiday when pubs were not open and it was a stay at home order in place.
“Can you imagine if this had happened roundabout July 12 or if it had about roundabout a Muslim festival, or a Sikh festival. It just is not acceptable.”
In response, top lawyer Roddy Dunlop QC, Dean of the Faculty of Advocates, said: “As a Glaswegian who now lives in Edinburgh, this vacuous nonsense for an elected MSP is utterly bizarre.
“People in Edinburgh saw the damage caused to buses by bored/disaffected youths throwing bricks.
“Nothing to do with St Patrick’s Day, or religion in any form. Just safety.”
