MacAskill ‘washing his hands’ over armed police
JUSTICE secretary Kenny MacAskill has been accused of “washing his hands” over armed police on Scotland’s streets after claims that he dodged calls to discuss the matter in parliament.
Scottish Labour’s justice spokesman, Graeme Pearson, said Mr MacAskill was “apathetic” to an issue which had caused huge public concern.
Last week, pictures emerged of armed officers attending a routine incident at a McDonald’s in Inverness, while a motorist in Aberdeen claimed he was questioned by four armed officers over an alleged traffic offence.
