At the beginning of the month, she apologised and said she"deeply regretted" her actions.
Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, described her actions as"reckless, dangerous and completely indefensible" and said she should resign as an MP. But Ms Ferrier told the Sun on Sunday she wants to continue representing her constituents in Rutherglen and Hamilton West. Responding to the criticism, Ms Ferrier said:"It may be a serious error of judgment. I'm not denying that. People may be saying, 'You should have known better, you're a public figure'.
"But at the end of the day it still hurts. You then think is all that hard work and dedication just wiped away?"Related Topics
This is great news from her for many people..... No matter what you do now, rob a post office, speed well above the limit, steal a few items from ASDA, knife someone......just remember, the Virus symptoms made you do it and therefore you cannot be held to account.😂😂😷
Hahaha why this wasn't used when Dominic Cummings acted 'out of character?'. Oh I forgot how the BBC is so left wing it will do whatever it takes to bring Tory down (with our money too)
She should have stepped down, unbelievably selfish and arrogant!
It's true; I had a cold sore once and streaked naked through Marks & Spencers singing Rule Britannia 🙄
What an astonishing thing to do.
MargaretFerrier fighting for the title of most stupid excuse of the year with Dom Cummings. What were you doing in parliament in the first place if unable to think straight?
Why she needs to resign, she should be fired
Just resigne do the right thing
I wonder what her thoughts were on Dominic Cummings little trip?
What nonsense!
Well m'lud I stole because the virus made me. GBH only because the virus. Took money from mother, well it was the virus you see. Drunk and disorderly was the virus m'lud. OMG what have you done. It's still affecting you putting out that pathetic defence.
You should resign. Now!
Total load of bullshit as a Covid survivor it can incapacitate you does not allow you to take public transport,act normally then claim you weren’t in your right mind
RESIGN and stop being a parasite
If that was the case surely she’d be a better person?
The longer this creep hangs around the more embarrassing it will be for the SNP Can you imagine the reception if she dares show her face in the House of Commons again. She will have to sit next to her fellow SNP colleagues..awkward
Rubbish, selfish arrogance! No thought for anyone!!
As far as I'm aware, Covid19 doesn't cause a lobotomy!
That is no excuse for acting this way, just as no excuse when Cummings did the same and really caused thousands of people to say “if you can do it and get away with it then why should we bother?” From that moment on this country became stupidly complacent now second wave!!!
It is like that it makes you fall deeper in love with yourself ?
Bollox! Why haven’t the SNP expelled her? (Smiley face to the one who knows the answer!)
Do me a favour!
This stupid woman thinks the virus makes u act out of character really. Do u think we r all thick Dr hillary as already said its not a symptom u rediclous women u could have all ready infected hundreds u need to leave. Ur a great example for the whole world. (not
MargaretFerrier missing treat could become superwoman and hero to the public if she said she would resign if DominicCummings went first ! bandwagoneffect
No she didn’t. She said ‘it made her, act out of character’ What she did was wrong & she should resign.... but as a ‘trusted’ broadcaster, you should TELL THE TRUTH.
What a load of rubbish. She needs to let somebody who acts responsibly to do her job.
We need to insist that the government adds 'acting out of character' to the list of key symptoms of Covid. If they don't then Ferrier will need to resign immediately.
I stumbled while birdwatching albeit in the dark and an element of his anatomy may have entered an element of my anatomy. A perfectly honest accident and that is all I have to say on the matter.
She should have gone for a long drive to check her eyesight as well!!!!
She is clearly not fit to be an MP, she appears to have no mental ability or intelligence and it's a total worthless excuse from her.
Why hasn’t she been prosecuted and charged? 😡
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Should have been instantly dismissed and heavily fined. One rule for us...
Bull 💩 is what your spreading Margaret, just accept responsibility for your actions and do the right thing by resigning.
Anyone think Nicola told her not to resign?
So if POTUS loses, he can blame COVID19. Good, there's your back up plan.
What an idiotic excuse. Are not the effects of Covid placing pressure on every citizen of the UK to 'act out of character'? If she hasn't strength of character to set a good example to her constituency she has no right to sit in Parliament.
It doesn’t seem to have worked for Trump!
Must be why i keep saying fuck the govt. since my teenage years
notamused666 Maybe when she's fully recovered and free from the mind altering virus, she will be fully aware that she has behaved like a twat and will resign.
Go and camp outside her home and bully her like you have other government staff or is she in a political party the BBC like?
Would it be out of character for her to resign for potentially putting people's lives at risk? If not she should resign. If yes she should resign?
Funny how she's the only person to make this claim. Maybe it should be added to the list of symptoms.......🤷🏼♂️
ChynaVirus
and fear of losing your money makes you come out with stupid statements
No, it's the SNP that makes people act out if character.
Sack, fine!!!!
What an amazing excuse, I’m actually impressed at the audacity that this would actually work
What a load of crap
What exactly is a blip? She knowingly pit other people's loves at risk. Is that a blip? and how is the contact tracing going?
Resign
She should be sacked.
If I turned a bank over it would be out of character too better get on with while laws don’t apply any more
It makes you lose your sense of haste.
She must have had it for years then
Another 1 who thinks she is above the rules and common decency
What an insult!!
Trust this woman to represent you? Would you behave as she did?
No, its lack of virtue not covid.
Nope. Not a known, verified symptom. So resign.
👍 👍 👍 🤔
Well I'm off to the bank to rob it, fill up my car and drive off without paying and smack Dominic Cummings in the mouth for being a marble headed t**t. I can get away with my behaviour though because COVID made me do it. WTF
She must be deluded, plus no one wants her.
Maybe she’s right. She should give her constituents the opportunity to be sympathetic and re-elect her. Integrity, contrition and decency? ... it’s not gonna happen is it ?
An interesting line in defence in court. Could get away with murder !
Shame realDonaldTrump didn’t and actually did something good and for someone else for once.
Oh no, there’s even more symptoms?! Has she tried going for a long test drive with her family just to be sure it’s Covid?
She should be ashamed of herself, god knows everyone else is
Resign woman. And how is the police investigation going. They are quick enough to issue £1000 fines to shoppers who should be quarantining for 14 days.
This woman is unbelievable
What a load of political nonsense she wants ousting a disgrace to the profession
Pompous cow 🐮
Rubbish!
£82 grand out of character...
That probably explains the current behaviour of the President of the United States
So literally anyone can do what they want, after a positive test ?
Rubbish! It would be out of character for an MP to take responsibility for their blatant, hypocritical mistake. MargaretFerrier
Is she still a MP? Shame of the country
Still is by looks of things!
For your English viewers. She also loves the IRA
Absolute disgrace. Can’t even do the honourable thing and resign. hypocrisy
Absolute shit! You were wrong and you know it!! Corrupt SNP..
This shows what MP's really think of the people,Failure of every MP for not calling her out is the real issue,and the failure of the media yet again to stick with the story,how can you expect people to follow any government advice or restrictions when MP's don't.
Hasn’t she been fired already
So basically she’s made an excuse that everyone else can use. Oh great!
Sadly she’ll survive this one with the undying, unbalanced, support of our nationalist cult members - who will somehow justify to themselves that Boris is to blame for this too.
Another EXCUSE!
All the more reason to stay put then when diagnosed positive 🤦🏼♀️
Matt Hancock makes me act out of character.
I had Covid and I managed not to get on a train, tube and taxi even *before* my test came back positive.
Well, it didn’t make Donald Trump act out of character...
DefundTheBBC
£70 G’s a year is a clear incentive to say ‘F*%K you and your rules’. Proof that MP stands for ‘massive prick’
What a load of Bollocks
Ffs grow a pair. She did worse than Ian blackford and Dominic Cummings combined. She was tested, knew she was infected not likely infected and did it anyway. No excuse!!!
So now the police have cause to do what ever the fuck they want.
What fucking virus, that's why she done exactly as she pleased
As excuses go this ones totally cringe worthy.,.
...well thats ok then!
Well I can smell Bullshit
Yes she panicked. Yes she broke the rules and put innocent members of the public in danger. Yes she’s human but is this a person you want representing your community ?
Get real lady ... time to wave bye bye 👋
Absolute bullshit 😡 you just simply thought you were better than everyone else and the rules couldn’t possibly apply to you! But you got caught, so own it 😡😡😡😡😡
Because they know it’s bullshit as most of us are aware of ! GreatAwakeningWorldwide
Time for her to be gone 😡
InfidelWhippet so.. she sees herself a usually as a character acting out a part?
If she hadn’t kicked up such a stink about Dominic Cummings I wouldn’t care but as she’s such a hypocrite I want her out.
Bollocks - another lie !
Oh big deal. Have you ever met or heard of an honest politician ( from ANY party ) They are all as bad as each other !!!!!
The Purge 19.
femiokes The virus made me do it. The devil can take a break on thus one.
What a load of b******s
Don’t be a ....
What a disgrace she is
Resign MargaretFerrier try and have an ounce of decency
What a load of botox. 😂😂
She must resign. No fucking excuses.
Ooh! What next? Betfred what are the odds on ‘it made me cheat on my spouse’? Or ‘I didn’t realise I was speeding officer, it was the Covid’ Bound to be popular.
The vacant stare and unthinking actions are classic post virus symptoms aren’t they?
She needs to resign !
What a disgrace
Pathetic from my MP. She should resign . She is a total embarrassment and a shameless liar.
🤣🤣🤣 did she make this up?!
Has she resigned yet?
So is she going to apologise to Dominic Cummings then Or is it just SNP MPs behaviour that gets affected? Her arrogance is astounding, but I suppose the chance of pocketing £320,000 for doing sweet FA is enough to make anyone’s brain malfunction.
Teeth of a drug addict
People that quote the Sun like it's a reliable source of information are as daft as she is...
Just resign shambles
A desperate excuse. Is this the same woman who called for Dominic Cummings to resign? hoist by her own petard methinks..
You have not acted out of character, you have let the mask slip and shown your true colours. You want to serve your consistency, well step down and re-stand as an independent, see if they want you.
Garbage! She's a hypocrite.
At last, a great idea for realDonaldTrump from theSNP.
So when the shoe is on the other foot? Suddenly the excuses come out and her position is safe? Surely now as she put it in her own words, her position is untenable 🤷♂️
Heard it all now!!
She didn't believe that when she said Cumming should be sacked. He travelled to his dads farm with wife and son in his car. She travelled 800 miles on public transport, what a hypocrite to now say she won't resign.
Absolute crap! Just another entitled MP hanging on to the gravy train for all she’s worth!
Who cares Nobody give a shit about politics before brexit or certainly before bloody coronavirus. Let's just get on with it with regards to both. Nothing else we can do.
That’s the biggest load of bollocks I’ve heard about COVID. And believe me. I’ve heard some shit over the passed six months.
Correction ... I think she means acting like DominicCummings 🤣
Honestly. You couldn’t make this up could you . Please . Id like to get off this ride now the humour has warn off. These are people we pay to make very important decisions. Help someone help.
Shameful woman...just like Cummings!Covid kills;knowing you have it makes you a tangible risk to others.Tantamount to driving under the influence..both potential killers.Only a prison sentence fits the crime.Certainly should be barred from public office for starters!
This woman is just a cling on and embarrassment NicolaSturgeon she is now receiving money under false pretences
No shame
Dominic Cummings should know!
Dear Ms Ferrier, I'm very sorry but there is no alternative. You must resign now. Sorry.
She is utterly shameless. Typical SNP.
Go women, just go already.
MargaretFerrier That would be like a rapist saying “When I get the horn I act out of character” except Covid doesn’t make you act like a selfish CT justresign
Resign and start flipping burgers
Needs to resign. If MPs can act out of character, I guess we all can... no? That’s not how it works?
Is there an excuse MargaretFerrier hasn’t used yet.... didn’t understand gvt guidance, made her act odd..........for once be honest, admit you were wrong & resign!
BULLSHIT
Ridiculous theory. Johnson remained a lazy, lying charlatan throughout & Trump is still the pig he always was.
Classic Maggie
So is she going to apologise to Dominic Cummings
Arrogant woman, making up excuses. Obviously has no moral compass. She shud b sacked if she won't resign.
Tripe!
To break the rules once.....maybe but 2 train journeys, dinner with a colleague and an address in the house.....I think not. Disgraceful 🤬
NicolaSturgeon protects or turns blind eye all those that either molest women or disobey rules. More generally, do what you can to bring shame on SNP and you’ll be alright. When will you resign NicolaSturgeon ?
This is astonishing. Clinging onto her 80 grand a yr job. And the theSNP chirp from the sidelines. Shamless.
Sack the idiot!
I thinks she taking piss.....
What a ducking liar....,
jill_lingard
Are we making up symptoms to suit now?!
Guess I can Rob a bank once I get infected! Would be a great excuse in court Independent guardian ITV nytimes DailyMirror DailyPolitik labour channel4 SkyNews itvnews AlJazeera CNN Telegraph LBC TheVoiceNews NicolaSturgeon jeremycorbyn BorisJohnson jonsnowC4
So another MP who's a blatant liar.
Makes you behave like a SNP MP
What a load off b******s! My nephew had it so bad , back in march and he is still suffering from it. He didn't change or become different, he was to bloody ill...😤
MPs break the rules on a bigger scale than ordinary citizens and brush it off with daft excuses. Takeaway owners getting their last pre-curfew order out the door are fined by the police. 👍🏻
Yeah take no responsibility for your actions it’s always someone or something else’s fault. In this case the virus made her do it. Typical SNP response.
Surely that defeats the point of having rules about what to do when infected?
Really?! A new side effect!
Another symptom to look out for folks ,
What a cumt.
Oh please! We could all say that if we do something wrong in life – I have never heard such bull !
House of commons must be full of covid
😂 bulls...t
Resign.

Killing MargaretFerrier out of character? Is that a defence?
She travelled to London to speak in Parliament got a positive and again took a train to Scotland, 11 hours. Vile just resign
FINE HER
If she won't resign she should be sacked
I think being a SNP politician makes them act like idiots. There is a lot of evidence of this.
Hopefully her well deserved £3000 pay rise will make her behave 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Really, respiratory issues a secondary symptom after madness?
Oh so that explains Cummings behaviour
Wow! The nerve of her that she can knowingly spread a disease and say 'fook you I am milking this gravy train'
More to the point, she behaved illegally.
Shameful... and bullshitting about it too...just admit ur wrong n deal with the consequences
Why aren't her constituents signing a petition to recall her?
that's a reason that will be readily accepted by the msm so long as it's a leftie saying it.
😀😀😀classic !
Bullshite
She really cannot be serious. ‘It was COVID made me do it!’ What a load of tosh! Withdraw the whip if she won’t resign. No wonder this country is in the state it’s in.
Better add that to the official list of symptoms then.
Get in the bin
She was so disorientated she visited hairdresser, stumbled into church , and perhaps a club 😳 what a joke 😳 🤣
NO excuse !
MargaretFerrier i would suggest you get a refund from which ever lamentable Pr guru who came up with this guff for you to spout today. I could understand if this was at the beginning when thinks where unclear but now there is no excuse for your actions.
Bollox
What utter bullshit.
Why should she resign?! She should be sacked!!!! She blatantly broke the rules on more than one occasion! Anyone else would be sacked from their job and fined ... no excuse
She’s a disgrace. She should be sacked
Like heroin?
philmcnulty 🙈 when just needs to admit she knew what she was doing & didnt care
Should be fired
I think she first uttered that when she was screaming for Cummings to resign. Hypocrisy has no limit.
It seems today you want medical advise & knowledge.... go ask a politician. They are now the new Dr's of death
When in the shit better to admit than look a sanctimonious prat and blame something else.
Margaret Covid MP.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
RESIGN!! Disgraceful. Do the right thing and step aside!
Does it make you hypocrite as well? Quick to jump on Boris and Cummings. It doesn’t make you act of character being an MP does that. Clinging on to her £80k job!
Covid makes you act out of character; no being a twat makes you act out of character!
Arrogance at its best
She lyin'
🤙🏾 is she a stand up comedian?🤣 Just look over the pond , she could be right 🤦🏽♂️🤣 oh wait, Donny was already out of sorts. She failed in her job, needs to be let go as the rest of us, if we make a mistake.
Mo, you ENTITLED BRAT ~ You KNEW EXACTLY what you were doing BUT were no doubt, a little SURPRISED & greatly PUT OUT that YOU were REPORTED! DEARY ME & ALL THAT!!!!! You are meant to lead BY EXAMPLE .... well, SOME EXAMPLE THAT was!!!! 😡😡😡Now TAKE RESPONSIBILITY & RESIGN!!!
surely for that argument to stand up Margaret Ferrier would not have acted like a selfish, entitled, sanctimonious hypocrite.
Think Dominic 'eyesight test' Cummings will confirm that too.
That's Snp folks.........
Good one nice try.
Bloody hell! Give the poor woman a break! It’s not like nobody else has done anything wrong. For one reason or another, most of us haven’t strictly followed the rules let’s be honest! She’s apologised profusely what do you want? Blood ?
How convenient!!!!
Only taken her two weeks to think this one up 🙄
now act in character and RESIGN because as an MP you're finished with only herself to blame
She didn’t know she had it til after she’d travelled to London so that’s a shit excuse by a shit MP. Get her gone. She needs prosecuting and forced to resign Scumbag
LoL. SNP is a right bunch of characters.
metpoliceuk BTP policescotland - it’s been nearly 2 weeks now - how long does it take you to charge someone who has admitted to breaking the law? covid19

One rule for them..
GTF 👍🏻
Shameless brassnecked biatch
Is this bird for real or what?
That’s all righ hen!
Bulkshit! 🙄 Probably get banned now! 🙄
Load of shit, she made calculated decisions.
Is there anything that this virus isn’t responsible for
ChrisMasonBBC Lady, that's why you're paid £85k. To be able to make difficult decisions under pressure.
Straight out of the Dominic Cummings play book. Can't blame her, prescedent is set.
How many people are gonna use temporary insanity through the effects of covid in court now.
She talks Bollocks
No excuses Ferrier.
I bet she sits with the SNP on her return to the HoC.
Lying trough monster.
Bollocks, if she gets away with this, then every single person who has been fined by the police should get their money back along with interest and a hand written apology from the Government.
Prison is the only answer these people are taking the piss out of all of us she has not even bee. Sacked ! One rule for them one rule for us , And no body is doing anything about it .
It didn’t make Trump act out of character!
Not putting your brain into gear, makes you act out of character, more like. What a dolt.
InfidelWhippet wondered why i suddenly developed a sudden urge to tell the govt to.. 🎶🎵[STICK THE F***ING VACCINE UP YOUR A*SE!!!!]🎶🎵
So why didn't it do that to everyone else that had/has it then?

bestcanton7 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, I’ll say? It makes you forget about the health and welfare of your fellow citizens, not to mention right from wrong.
more bollocks
It's bad enough travelling privately whilst infected, but to do so on public transport, this is shocking. These excuses are pathetic!
This isn’t a zombie apocalypse! Not yet anyway 🤣
She's a piece of work, this one.
The virus made me stay in for 7 weeks because I was still symptomatic and scared for others. So I guess it depends on what your character was in the first place.
Resign
What a load of shite
You had covid not crack.. done with MP’s
Rubbish
Pull the other one. MargaretFerrier acted entirely in character. A selfish, entitled, inconsiderate woman with no regard for anyone but herself.
Why hasn't she been fined 10 grand?
No shit 😒
She has only said that since the possible side-effects of steroids have become news. Do not let her use that as an excuse.
🤦🤦😂🤦😂 bull**** only interested in keeping her job
Politicians criticising the government over the amount of jobs that may be lost & yet NicolaSturgeon & theSNP members are trying to force MargaretFerrier out of her job. She was utterly stupid & selfish, but kick her outbid the party, not her job. Tells you all about theSNP
This charlatan is setting a precedent - if Ferrier’s excuse is acceptable then what’s good enough for her must be good enough for the rest of us to do what we want without fear of any consequences.
What utter rubbish - she's the one that chose to break the law! I'm surprised she's not been arrested potentially.
That’s a good one
Hmm. Twat your boss in the face then tell him you just tested positive.
Well she would say that wouldn't she 🤔
I would have thought behaving atrociously, then refusing to resign is very much in character for 95% of the HoC.
Lack of integrity tends to stick.
The whole Labour Party must have it then
Stupid comment of the day!
Desperately clinging on to the Best job she ever had. No profession or trade to fall back on to replace her £80,000 plus expenses pa. She'll hang on by her fingernails...no old age pension till she's 66.
But Scummings got away with it. Not saying she's doing the right thing at all but if that c**t had been dealt with we'd have less of this nonsense...
Utter rubbish
philmcnulty Yep, this is the Cummings excuse the Tories are allowed to use.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dog ate my alibi
I think she’s been to the Corbyn School of Laughable Excuses
Utterly disgraceful attitude, do the right thing RESIGN!
There doesn't need to be a police enquiry, costing goodness knows how much. She's admitted that she did wrong, it's on her conscious and that's that.
Establishment figures don’t disobey the rules because they think they are above them. They ignore them because they don’t believe in them and think they are ridiculous. And they are correct
Has she resigned yet? Ffs.
dawngoodwin58 Sorry about WW2 it was just Hitler acting out of character
She’s a disgrace to society
I'm off to get tested and fingers crossed it's positive with that get out of jail card!
Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle!
Only if you're stupid, selfish, or both.
I suppose it takes Harold Shipman levels of repetition for something to be deemed in-character.
So does alcohol.
Scotlands shame how NicolaSturgeon theSNP can defend this is outrageous, she needs to be expelled from the party, hospitality industry going bust, everyone’s life on hold, while she still draws her £80k+ salary no credibility ExpelMaragaretFerrier
An excellent defence for shoplifters too. And yet she was compos mentis enough to traverse a public transport system the length of this country, twice, & the rigours of Westminster. If the Public are being fined for such flagrant disregard for public safety, why not Politicians?
What rubbish, she knew what she was doing, just an excuse not to resign.
What a load of crap SNP all over
This is just utter bullshit.
That's just gibberish...
What a load of crap,she should be sacked full stop,no excuse
Reminding me of this record from my youth:
If that was the case she would t have got in the train. As she normally takes the train
Nah. She was infected with nationalism before she had COVID.
i messed up a bunch of times in jobs, putting your hands up and admitting you did wrong is the natural thing to do. We're only human and make errors, I guess I'd rather be judged by my ability to accept I did wrong, then show my denial. That can be much worse than the error.
Bullshit
Bullshit she needs to step down
I just know these comments are full of 'Cummings'
Does she also think it makes us all believe any old shite she comes out with ?
BarristerSecret a new line for defence
Does she mean she lost the ability to tell right from wrong with a moral code that flimsy how can she be trusted as an MP in the future. She should resign.
Verbal diarrhoea. Do the right thing and resign
Even though he didn’t put anyone at risk, Cummings was crucified, yet this excuse producing item is continually allowed to get away with it, despite knowingly putting potentially hundreds in danger, whilst the same screeching individuals remain silent!
She should just be fine
NicolaSturgeon you need to sack MargaretFerrier since she has no moral compass of her own. She knowingly got on public transport, God knows how many people she infected. Also, has she paid any fine? Is it any wonder we, the public, are losing/have lost faith in politicians.
I had it & it was so debilitating that my character didn’t get a look in. These MPs really do take us for village idiots.
The worst attempted excuse ever 🤣 Strangely, I don't think I've heard any other person stating 'change of character' as a symptom 😂
Is she really going with a 'the virus made me do it' defence?
Just desperate to cling onto her job. ResignFerrier
Unbelievable. Makes my blood boil - Aberdeen players slaughtered publicly, fined by club then held to account by the SFA. AFC also fined for breach. Double standards - should the SNP not be held accountable
Leave it out love. You fucked up Steve5_0 Lord_Crunchy
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣
What a pathetic claim she’s made about this virus does she think our heads are buttoned up at the back .
Hahahaha only when yer caught.. 😂 😂 Oh dearie dearie me I'm acting like I normally do....😂
Still sack her, she’s talking rubbish.
No, they're just Tory voters
BRB, gonna go catch Covid then rob a bank. I've at least got the perfect excuse.
Now we know whats up with Trump!
Whilst at work she knowing broke the law She may have infected someone and that could lead to a death The police have done nothing AGAIN Yet again thus shows how deep the corruption is at the core of civil service in this country
Gor blimey
Certainly no honour amongst any politician North or South of the Border It’s simply the case there in it for the money, at our expense, even when they know they’ve blatantly done wrong It beggars believe how they sleep straight at night
A blip and covid 19 makes you act out of character. What a load of tosh. I have never agreed with Ms Sturgeon but I agree with her that Ferrier MUST resign and the people of Rutherglen should be telling her to go too. How stupid is this lady, to expect the public to believe her.
Yeah yeah yeah, when the credibility had done it’s time to go.
She only cares about the money. Let’s not pretend she has the capacity to think about anything other than herself. Typical SNP.
Resign
FINE HERRRRRRRRR
So covid19 is a mond control virus now is it? Or maybe shes just using any old excuse after getting caught like many other MPS breaking the rules. Sadly though idots will still do everything the government say even when they see the MPs and Government breaking the rules
If the government are flouting the rules, then they should be fined just the same as every other law breaking citizen
I don't know what MargaretFerrier character is. I know that she travelled 300miles by train when she sus she had the virus suff to be tested. I know that she then travelled 300miles by train KNOWING that she was infected. Deliberate & informed recklessness at min & poss criminal
foxxfir She’s using the same excuse the U.S media are using for Trump.
Bet she managed to fill her expenses claim in for the journey though. ResignFerrier
ChrisMasonBBC I think clinging to a job that would bag me circa half a million quid over the next 4 years would make me do the same.
She had a different opinion about Cummings
Shaz_Barnett GUFFAW 😂😂
MargaretFerrier You’re a bloody disgrace! You knew after a test that you have to isolate yourself, they tell you during testing. I’ve shielded for 7mnths & just started to pop out. With people out there like you willing to put mine & others lives at risk, I’ll stay in. Shame! 🤬
Bullshit , you think you have power so you just look down on us as if we are scum
What a joke she really is Ha ha ha like we believe that one
Only if you are easily led by fear.
Should Margaret Ferrier be marked down for following the instincts of every mother and every parent ?
But the £3300 increase to her salary helps after she put lots of people at risk.
I’m sure it does to an extent but she should still resign.
Bollocks
Oh do feck off.
It’s a no care society as far as MPs and the government are concerned! This proves it? They honestly don’t give a flying fuck about anybody but themselves!
Margaret wants the 80K salaray for next 3-4 years as she knows shes finished after that.
no she was in character ,arrogant
She will say anything to save herself.
WTF?! This woman is bonkers, as is her boss, Nippy. FFS get rid of them both.
Why she even been asked make her resign
Blame your incompetence on the virus xD.
Absolutely shameless - how has she not been fired?
An interview with the S*n shows her low standards - no more to be said
What tosh!
She should be sacked. But so should Cummings so, you know, got to be the same treatment across the board. Parliament should be sacked.
Yip, what an idiot, MP ? 🤔
Do MPs think we are as pig shit dim as they are?
How convenient!!
Strange that she didn’t think that before she was caught.
So did Dominic Cummings act out of character, I wonder?
She should be arrested for intentionally infecting people with a Virus, same as if somebody intentionally infects another person with HIV, she went out in public knowing she had the virus and put other people's lifes at risk 😡
Bonfire nights coming up... penny for the guy?
Playing the victim typical SNP
She looks like a female Ozzy Osbourne. lol
Yeah arrogance and selfishness
I smell BULL 💩!!! 🙄😤🤬
ChrisCoutts Truth is that Trailer Trash finds it impossible to trough £80 k in real world outside of Nationalistic Cult.
dawngoodwin58 I think she’s talking about alcoholism
Who will foot the bill for the ChinaLiedPeopleDied virus
Got no shame this old crone! Should be recalled. Determined to milk her salary as long as possible. Unforgivable behaviour
ChrisMasonBBC Out of character? Doesn't seem to have affected Trump, he's still as mad as a hatter.
that explains Jimmy Savile then huh MargaretFerrier
'Covid made me do it' - This is getting more and more surreal and ridiculous everyday, yet there are plenty of idiots out there who actually believe this crap. WAKE UP, you are being lied to about everything.
SNP must have had Covid for decades then
Ha ha! The Almighty Covid is amazing! There is nothing it cannot do! All heil Covid that shalt be king hereafter!
Jesus 🤦🏽♂️
Is she going to apologise to the other dangerous chancer, Cummings? Now that she knows how brain-altering it is. What advice came from family/ friends? RESIGN!
Maybe all the pubs in her constituency should reopen in protest until she resigns! margaretcovid
The rich elite doing what they want and the poor people suffer
I’m sure intense anxiety makes a person act out of character. Help is available for that.
What a good excuse!!! Suppose Cummings will use that one
Pish
What a load of rubbish
Lame excuse. Real story is she is always confused and dazed
Bullshit. She gave a speech in the HOC ffs. Seem d perfectly cogent to me. Has she no shame? Disgusting behaviour. Given Derek McKay still picks up a wage, surely not a surprise to learn of another spineless hypocrite SNP mp/msp who's just happy to take the money. Reprehensible.
She never said that about Dominic Cummings. I'm calling bullshit.
erm no all the idiots running this country in to destruction ruining people’s lives ! that is what makes us act out of character ! not the bloody virus what planet does this particular idiot live on 🙈🙄
RESIGN!!!!!!
Like many of the SNP MPs, this woman is devoid of honesty, decency and honour. Don't just suspend her, stop her salary forthwith. I'm Scottish by the way.
Lying is just second nature to them. Shows her mentality if that’s the best she could do. It’s an insult to our intelligence. margaretferrier
I'm fuming. As always one rule for them and one for us. No confidence in this government at all.
BULLSHIT! Resign.
Your arrogance is beyond belief.. resign now.... One rule for them
Get out you muppet! TODAY!
You can’t argue with stupid 🤦♀️
Bollocks you lie and now panicking
And people thought testing eye sight was a poor excuse 🤣 resign margaret
MargaretFerrier What a pathetic excuse idiot Just do the right thing & ResignNow democracy GO
It's not true. After I was forced to lock my mother in the shed for several weeks with suspected Coivd, she was just as mean spirited.
RESIGN!!!!!!
Normal people aren't 'in character' all of the time, they are just themselves. The virus effects politicians differently.
What utter crap! Maybe policescotland can also act out of character and slap a fine on her. Maybe NicolaSturgeon can act out character and expel her from SNP and call by-election.
This woman has no character.
Margret Ferrier did not act 'out of character'. She did exactly what we expect of MP's , completely incapable of setting any type of example & doing whatever they feel entitled to do. Blaming the virus is just pathetic & embarrassing. oneruleforthem ResignFerrier
ChrisMasonBBC Tell it to the judge. 👩⚖️
Or amplifies one's character to become more selfish, uncaring, arrogant, dangerous, hypocritical, crass, stupid, even possible criminal traits? MargaretFerrier SuperSpreader margaretcovid
Shameless.
And people wonder why so many Britons have either never voted or have no inclination to do so....🤔
This is classic. Virus made me behave like a completely selfish prat.
If she refuses to resign, she should be sacked. She knew she was infected and carried on regardless.
Being an MP makes you act out of character....
Covid has many symptoms but this isn't one of them. How do we know her behaviour was 'out of character' anyway? Maybe she is normally selfish, irresponsible and reckless.
This as well as other high profile people flouting rules & not being held to account, will make the enforcement of rules difficult for the relevant authorities, & have a detrimental effect on health service
It’s strange what excuses people make when they want to keep their big fat salary, especially when you’re a deranged SNP MP!
It's not just the train journey. She woke up in a hotel room on Tuesday morning knowing she had tested positive. Did she tell the hotel staff about her being positive to warn them. Somehow I don't think she did. Disgraceful actions by a disgraceful person.
Anything that makes the SNP more unelectable is fine by me
Is this woman for real 😳
Yup, well show some character and resign... & she should have done this before now...
peattatun 'Makes you act out of character '! Whatever next, time to go😡
Explains why Boris went from loveable rogue to terrifying dictator!
No thats the drink..
So why is Margaret Ferrier not being hounded by the press like they did with Dominic Cummings
What a poor excuse for a woman!😳
She should be locked up. The fact she still can't seem to accept how utterly deplorable her actions were says it all about her true character. Very, very selfish but most who want a job with power are
Is covid a constituency? Or do you mean (now ex) SNP covid super spreader?
Amazing how it only makes politicians or government advisors act out of character. Could it be that it’s exactly in their character, because they think the rules don’t apply to them?
No it doesn’t...It didn’t change Trump
Worse than anything anyone else has done and not a word about it
Wonder how many others were dished by her?
She is desperate to keep her snout in the trough, desperate.
Funny... what I had made me act like someone that could hardly think about kifting my head an inch off the pillow - never mind making my whole body travel 700 miles - for roughly a month. Diff'rent strokes for different folks, I guess...
Wtaf? That is a pure lie... she cannot get away with this!!
Idiot
No that's alcohol
Its not a question of ‘character’, it’s a question of brain cells !!!!
Thank god it's someone else's fault.
The virus makes you act out if character 😂😂😂😂 what are these MPs on
Anyone surprised If you expect an MP to resign for ANYTHING then you are sadly deluded..
When has contracting a deadly disease made you get on a train to London, go to work, get back on the train, go shopping, go to church and mooch around your village?
If she doesn't go it's a huge two fingers to everyone affected by the virus.
Resign.
She's an underhand, selfish, liar.
She's right. I'm not defending her but Covid fucks your head up. In some ways it's like you have returned to a pre-knowledge state and can't access your usual thought patterns. It's not to be underestimated.
Margaret's adventures in Nicoland.
Dominic Cummings should resign and so should she. MP’s should set an example not do the opposite.
“Act out of character” Scientists will be adding that to the list of symptoms then. The only act out of character she had was - I’m an MP - I can do as i like 🤨
MargaretFerrier RESIGN
Resign you stupid woman !
I've had covid and no it doesn't 🙄. They will say anything to cover themselves must have had some guidance on what to say from Cummings 🤥.
She has ‘Trump’ disease, simples!
Is this another official symptom. Is that a good defence for criminal activity.
You could not make it up!
She should apologise to DC then for his actions !
I totally agree. Just look at how Boris has been behaving 😳
That old excuse - please !
No words !
Took the train southerly southerly southerly Took the train south while your judgement was poor. Took the train southerly southerly southerly Might have transmitted to people you saw. 1/2
Good grief don't talk baws 🙄
Oh whatever will they say next 🙄
Not content with showing a complete disregard for the safety of everyone who she consciously chose to come into contact with when she chose to break the rules, she now takes us all for fools. Shameful, patronising, and quite frankly, insulting.
Oh the irony.....
With a comment like that she belongs in the Trump administration
Or maybe she was just being herself?
Resign Margaret Ferrier. Not doing so is damaging the SNP party which you claim to ❤️ love.
Absolutely rubbish.
Out of character for Margaret Ferrier maybe but I gotta say, this is classic Margaret Covid
Can you imagine the outcry from scots nationalists if she were English
Ok so a money grabbing MP won’t resign, but that doesn’t explain why she has not been prosecuted or fined.
“With power comes great irresponsibility...” What excuse did MPs use before pandemic?
She’s not going to walk away from £80,000+ expenses, second home in London etc etc. Another MP that takes us all for fools!!!
Entitlement makes you act out of ‘character’
What an utter liar! MargaretFerrier I've never heard such tosh! The only thing the SNP seem to be good at...lying NicolaSturgeon ...
Classic.
Yet unable to afford others such compassion. People won't buy this. Taken for fools. Massive damage to the SNP.
An SNP politician telling lies what a surprise
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 course it does Where did she catch the train to Dominic Cummings school of bullshit excuses
What’s Margaret Ferrier’s middle name? 🤔
This is truly opening up a massive loophole for people to excuse themselves for doing what the hell they want!
Still broke the rules, though. I’ll need to remember that for if I’m ever up in court. “I’m sorry, your honour, I was acting out of character.... which apparently is a viable excuse to avoid consequences”
Unbelievable that she is still there - what message is that sending out Anyone else who broke the law in public office (and got caught) would have had the decency to resign, or have been fired by now
It screws up not just your eyesight but your mind as well? Shouldn't we be removing those in power who have had the virus? Though Doris just seems to have become an even worse version of his pathetic self. I would have thought that the only way for him was up but..
It made me start making crystal meth in a mobile home in the desert to support my family. Or is that breaking bad 🤔
Oh that's ok then they can stop bringing Cummings up
Is it possibly because they're all on the take, using covid as an excuse to syphon millions into private companies owned by friends? Scrutiny of any of them risks fuelling the idea that investigation into MP's and Lords actions could yield interesting news. oneruleforthem
margaretFerrier would have resigned a long time ago had the Conservatives fired DominicCummings for doing the same thing. He & 10DowningStreet R scared of my full public , under oath RussiaReport enquiry , once we’ve pull the rotten teeth out of Downing Street. Soon
dominicumi
Seriously? “The virus made me do it”?!!! Now I’ve heard everything!
I've heard it all now...NicolaSturgeon the way this party conducts itself is disgusting.
Who is going to be stupid enough to ever vote for her again!
She didn’t make any allowances for irrational behaviour when she was screaming for Cummings to resign. Hypocrite, afraid she’ll have to get her snout out of the trough.
GlennBBC
Coronavirus originated from the city of Wuhan in China & has now reached every corner of the world, but the virus did not reach China's capital Beijing & China's Economic Capital Shanghai, located proximity to Wuhan. Not a single Chinese leader positive.
Not good enough! Her constituents need to give her a vote of no confidence to get her out then!
Jeez it's like I didn't mean to Rob the bank I had covid 😂
Cummings' Law gives her full legal protection.
Maybe the virus also turned her into a liar or is it becoming a MP that does that.
Out of character? Does that explain it, more MO’s have it then ye? Or is this charade just acting normally?
How many people may she have infected who had subsequently died.?
Has she resigned yet?
Resign and do the honourable thing.
Yeah, and I’ve just seen a unicorn... 🙄
Wonder if she killed anyone on that train..
Ahhh The Covid Card! That's a new one. 🤔
You must self isolate if you have any of the following symptoms: -new continuous cough -high temperature -loss of smell / taste -out of character-ness
Just like Cummings, this defense of her actions will be used willy nilly by other people.
Looks like it could be gross misconduct on the face of it... Probably worth a hearing internally. Same as Cummings and the Darlington MP but good luck with that!
She did everything in character, she went to work, the shops, travelled on public transport. What part was out of character? Talk about lying politicians again!! 😠😠
No doubt she will now be making an apology to Cummings.
What a horrible liar.
She just won't step down..I hope her constituents call for a by-election to get her out..she only has a 5000 majority...
They are laughing at us!
Yes the covid rules/laws ARE A PILE OF TOTAL BOLLOCKS!! BUT so is what she is claiming!
I had it when it first came out back in March and call this woman's comment BULLSHIT!!
Oh right I see! No problem then eh? The virus made you do it
Pull the other one MargaretFerrier, you behaved selfishly and with arrogant stupidity. We all know the rules but you suddenly just forget, don’t think so.Just like Dom Cummings, did and he’s an arsehole, Yeah House of Commons and Holyrood will welcome you back with open arms not
Continuous cough Loss of taste and smell Politicians lacking common sense Remember to look out for these symptoms
Utter cock & bull! - she’s grasping at straws, hoping it’ll save her from losing her £81,000 taxpayer funded lifestyle!
And how is she acting now? Selfish, conceited, the traits of modern politicians!
Keep digging that *cough* lie
What nonsense this woman speaks😡
JeanHair2 😁
ChrisMasonBBC Has she started to tell the truth and listen to her constituents whilst not fiddling her expenses? That would be really out of character!!
Poor excuse.
It actually beggars belief that some of the cult on this thread are still defending her How did Scotland get to this state that previously intelligent people have succumbed to these depths of delusion
Fuck off. Is I acted out if character ad be sacked.
Hasn’t she resigned yet. Has she no shame.
If this were true then why did she carry on with her life as if nothing had happened when she got it? Seems like it made her act exactly as she would have done if she didn't have it!
The most stupidest excuse ever. MargaretFerrier, why you lying? You do realise now people will use this pathetic excuse when they fail to abide by the rules from the govt 🙄
Surely her constituents or her party can get rid of this hypocrite
Don't give up
So the virus told her to do that. Got it.
so hopefully she will return to character do the right thing & resign... Honour in politics seems a distant memory
The same woman who called for Cummings to be sacked😂
If the virus makes you act out of character then perhaps she should apologise for vilifying Cummings ?
‘It was completely out of character for me to do absolutely everything I would usually do, church...work...’
What an absolute bullshitter MargaretFerrier
It’s weak stop restricting our freedoms liars
Try adding MargaretFerrier to your tweets
Also just to add a finer point to this. I’m Scottish and can’t even go into my elderly parents house or my daughter house who’s due her baby. Our family are adhering to the rules/laws laid down by the Scottish Gov so the rules were/are crystal clear MargaretFerrier
Scotland put into lockdown by the same people that won't sack a woman who repeatedly broke the rules. Why should Joe public listen to what they say when they can't keep their own house in order? Can't visit my family but she can get a train from London to Glasgow with the virus!!
LIAR
ChrisMasonBBC
Well, I heard everything now. NicolaSturgeon
I wonder if that defense will hold up in court can see lots of people doing things that is out of character due to the virus so not their fault right.
It's the Tory way. Blame everyone/thing else rather than accept any responsibility.
So do the right thing now and resign MargaretFerrier
Isn't it strange how the left get a free pass from the activists ? If that was any Tory MP there would be hell to pay and wall to wall coverage.
Resign.
I wish I could have used that excuse regarding the small stink bomb I made in A level chemistry which massively went wrong and gased a block of my school.
MargaretFerrier ‘confused by the guidelines’ - or too thick to be an MP? What part of ‘stay at home if you display symptoms’ is confusing. ledbydonkeys
Just do what you want then and blame Covid. Unbelievable.
Look at all the hypocrisy on here, all the do gooders, she’ll most probably loose her job,let’s just leave it there.MargaretFerrier
One rule for them one rule for us absolutely shocking !!! Kick her out she’s just a big liar who would listen to her now!!!!
Leader need to stand up and dismiss her for gross misconduct. How long before murderers claim it wasn’t them Covid made them do it?
she behaved out of character, something the BBC have been doing for years, so thats makes it right?
Maybe she knows that the PCR test is not good at accurately picking up CV-19
No it doesn’t all this has done is demonstrate what a total idiot she was and is.
Aye right1q
NicolaSturgeon has clearly told her to ride this out. It’s a disgrace and MargaretFerrier is a total clown.
Remember this is all based on a flawed testing method that produces false positive results! Deaths that have been reclassified as covid regardless of the actutal cause, and a 99.9% recovery rate! Plandemic Agenda21 ID2020 Operationlockstep Quantumtattoo Coronavirus Covid19
It would appear that Trump has a Scottish cousin!
Don’t see anyone camping outside her front door!!!!
MargaretFerrier. Sense of smell gone, sense of taste gone. Sense of honour gone. Don’t worry there is a spare seat in a car heading North. We know the drivers eyesight is fine and subject to regular testing.
🤦🏽♀️
absolute tripe.
ChrisMasonBBC MargaretFerrier You should resign
Must we now self isolate if we have this symptom BorisJohnson
This is the biggest pile of cow excrement yet !!! I am beyond livid..... it’s about time the rule that’s says we can’t sack these people was abolished- she is potentially guilty of mass murder if any of the potentially 100s of people she infected should become ill+ their contacts
Okay, so if I get Covid, I'll rob a guy's house, rape his wife and eat his children But its okay, the virus made me do it 'Out of character' - What a load of bollocks
Nationalism is a disease. The SNP are cancer
No acting like a complete selfish idiot is probably within her character, she is in the SNP after all
Has she been arrested yet?
While NicolaSturgeon says she can't sack her, surely some rule exists that can strip her as an MP?
Has she not resigned yet?
🤣🤣🤣
Oh come on! 😂😂
Just when the public need a clear message about their responsibilities and moral duty along comes this one with her best imitation of Dominic Cummins...only worse!
If you are worried enough to get a test, you should be worried to stay at home! That rule has never changed. As an MP there are no excuses...
Heard it all now. Are we to forget about the lives she put at risk through her stupidity? Surely the people within theSNP who knew about her positive test could have been more influential in encouraging self isolation like they are forcing a whole nation into now. Hypocrites.
No it doesn’t
Arrogance beyond belief! Her'career' comes before the health of others
That’s a new symptom?
FFS these lot come out with some right bollox
I suppose that means she now feels for Cummings and is going to issue a statement in his defence? Can’t have it both ways 🤷🏻♂️
no stupidity does that in a time of crisis, join cummings and the Tory party in the dunces' corner.
Covid makes you act out of character..what a load of crap!!!
Where is the medical/scientific evidence?
Mags wants her salary for a few more years. She knows she just needs to ride it out for a few months and then it's gravy train until retirement.
Selfishness is entirely in character.
That’s is an appalling excuse and a complete disregard to all those people who have fought so hard having been so poorly with covid- you are a disgrace
Just resign .... it’s the right thing to do ... there is no excuse for your behaviour
Laughable, she's got her snout in the trough and means to stay there.
What a load of bollocks
No not really
What a disgrace
Can you please update on Police Action for Margaret and Jeremy. Margaret breech was the worst and as she is one who makes the rules I would like to see them applied fully. Otherwise how can you expect Jo Bloggs to obey the rules, answer oh we fine them
MargaretFerrier did not panic. Far from it. She endangered staff at a gift shop in Burnside and a salon in Rutherglen. She met with a senior police officer. She performed a reading at church. She took 2 train journeys of over 4 hours, spoke in Parliament and dined in public. GO!
Stanhope2011VJ I'll go out and commit a crime then and tell the court the virus made me do it
😂😂😂 “why aren’t you following local and National guidelines? You do realise I’ll have to fine you now?!” “Sorry, this virus makes me act out of character” “Oh...very well, carry on and have a good day”
Aw, please! So now it is the fault if the virus!!!! unbelievable woman!
So does drinking alcohol. It doesn't mean you no longer become responsible for your actions though. Do the right thing for country and party, and resign.
No. It made this particular MP behave as if she was above the law. Which is normal for an elected representative these days.
Yeah, sure.
Shes right I started having strange beliefs I thought the BBC had once again become normal not a woke hate mongering shit fest
🤣🤣🤣
DarrenMurray6 😂😂
Get a petition up to have it discussed in parliament. I am sure the numbers will be there.
Seriously, it's taken 10 days to come up with 'It made me act out of character'. Make the most of your tenure, 'cos I'm pretty sure you won't be re-elected!!
No illness turns you into a selfish person who thinks it's ok to infect innocent people so you can have a night away that wasn't been needed and nip here there and everywhere.
What an absolute joke as we ALL have had to act out of character 😡😡😡😡
The snp will literally blame anything else than take responsibility, she can't blame Westminster so now its the virus' fault
Oh ok. At least I know if I have Covid and rob a bank, drive a get away car at 100 mph down the wrong side of the motorway whilst throwing bricks at the police cars behind I can just say “I acted out of character”. Pathetic. Another example of the SNP’s “Do as I say not as I do”
I’m going to have to remember that one. Could be very useful 🤔
Stanhope2011VJ Bullshit.
Can you believe this old flannel.
2 weeks later and this is the best she can come up with 🤬
Your bringing the SNP down even more resign now you waste of space.
The whole reaction to a health hazard is out of character.
joerichlaw love.... just bite the bullet, stop making excuses and do the right thing... hanging on by your fingernails is so demeaning
I have just killed my neighbour...the virus made do it ! Case dismissed !
Brilliant, you can now use Covid in defence after you’ve committed a crime. She’s a one.
Bless her. She's short on common sense according to her former SNP colleagues, guess Covid got rid of the last of that and obliterated her sense of decency, honesty and integrity. Either that or she's monumentally stupid.
Wow she needs a job at the BBC because they normally lies like this too. 🤣🤣🤣
Why is this woman still an MP? Shouldn’t even be a question of resignation. Should’ve been sacked immediately. This is another case of us and them regarding Covid rules. How can you expect the public to follow rules you totally ignore? She should be ashamed of her actions.
Ah, so it’s not just a virus now, it’s a prion infection that affects the brain and the ability to think. It sure is magic this virus! Name any symptom you can think of and you can almost guarantee covid-19 is the cause! Astonishing.
Stanhope2011VJ She’s talking bollocks. Where the daily attack on her for actually spreading the ‘deadliest virus in the world’
Why hasn’t she been given the boot? That is the question now given she can’t be trusted.
Even if it did make her act out of character she broke the law and is no different to anyone else. She broke the covid law and should resign.
Should have been sacked on the spot.
Has she been fined? No? Oh! Ok then
Is that a new symptom? Will the scientists be adding it to list?
What’s this - a new test?
What she did was far worse than what Cummings did she should resign now what a bloody disgrace.
She should just go, she is doing a lot of damage to the SNP by hanging around like a bad smell, even if she's been expelled or suspended from the party.
There is no excuse for her behaviour.
What a bull💩 excuse!
The great BBC News interviewed one of her constituents and she said “what Dominic Cummings did was much worse,at least she took Public Transport “ 🤔
JeanHair2 Cobblers, it’s all about 80k a year now.
God forbid if I get covid I may end up robbing a bank but it’s ok I have covid so I’m acting out of character won’t happen again 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She not sacked and charged yet.
So, this would explain Trumps stupid decisions then. At least you’ve cleared that one up.
what a load of bollocks
What a load of cods and a pathetic excuse.
Erm, no. It reveals your character. Ms Ferrier wasn't delusional through fever, just selfish and self-important, more than once.
Waiting for the bit where it says it only makes MP’s and government advisors act out of character. Such an intelligent virus this.
Jesus Christ, i have heard some bullshit excuses in my time but this one is class A.
You need to go love.
Come on constituents get her out please!
Is that a new recognise symptom? So if i get arrested for say.....i dunno....hate speech....i can just say its the covid-19 made me act out of character and it will be ok, the police will be understanding and just let me crack on? Thanks Margaret for clearing that up👍
Fact check please Twitter lol
Lol. But, no. It's the bullshit you lot have created around it which makes people act outside of character.
Fed up of corrupt politicians and their lousy excuses. Meanwhile we the public are being policed and fined, our businesses being told they are unviable. Why should we listen to the increasingly spasmodic and unscientific lockdowns of this hypocritical incompetent leadership?
🙄 cheeky cow
I had it and stuck to the rules as will most people. The idiot should be sacked and prosecuted.
ahhahhah
£80k salary plus generous expenses makes you act in character. What an arrogant, immoral creature. Typical theSNP MargaretFerrier is a disgrace.
Only shows how the media treat the left. You should all hold your heads down in shame
I'm intrigued that she says she doesn't have a flat in London. That's one hell of a commute everyday. Hope she doesn't claim the second home allowance.
'Covid made me do it' is a really poor excuse.
With MPs not complying to the rules why should we NO MORE LOCKDOWN's no more bulls&£t
This is the best she can come up with. Do as I say and don't do as I do, resign now.
Ooooh please !!! 😱
in other words, you thought you'd get away with it and carried on as normal.
StFilansDream blocks me for questioning the logic / defence of SNP MP who knew she was ill - tested + but yet broke the rules. odd that.
No it doesn’t. She must resign.
Honest to goodness if I acted out of character in my profession I’d likely be struck off! Why do these MP’s think they can do it and remain in post! I doubt her infection made her act out of character when she was well enough to travel from Scotland to London. excusesexcuses
If your character is to lie and and avoid responsibility for your actions then I would say she has acted totally within her character.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it’s all the fault of the virus
Oh please ffs
Where's all the medical/scientific data to back this claim? Granted, we all feel 'out of character' when we are not well but I am calling BS on this one.
Rubbish
Scum
She didn’t put anyone at risk if she wore a mask and maintained social distancing.
The hypocrisy is unbelievable. If that’s her real and only excuse it is so hypercritical. The one rule that has NEVER changed - ever - is with symptoms or test positive - stay home. I am so disappointed in her cowardice. Obviously wants to keep her massive MP £80,000 salary 🙄
BOOCKS.
Bullshit. Lets be honest. She has a job which is paying her £90k a year plus expenses until 2024. She has no talent and no ability ... virtually unemployable in any other field. The SNP will probably reinstate the whip when all this calms down. I guess she is going nowhere!
Bollocks! That’s straight out of Donald Trump’s book of; A Thousand Sayings To Make You Look A Tit.
Ha HA HA HA!!!
Crap. She wants to keep a well paid job .
Is she available for weddings
She means I need the money
BBC Why is this just a few lines in your news ? When it was Cummings you devoted hours of news time, day after day, week after week, with trips to Barnard Castle, facts about Barnard Castle, in fact anything about Barnard Castle. Cummings wasn't an elected representative.
Well that’s a new symptom isn’t it. I’m sorry but this is quite simply an excuse for a complete lack of judgement.
Ha hilarious
Blame it on the virus. Trend if you are an insane politician blame it on Covid
SNP version of “being on a journey”, she can’t use that as she had Covid when she was on hers.
Why is this MP still in a job?
The virus does not make you act out of character and if you don’t resign then your character is egocentric and arrogant
Nice try 🙄
Oh the self-entitlement & defensive bluster.
She wasn’t always a self centred taxpayers money grabbing loon?
Dog ate her good judgement?
Oh good grief 🙄 😡
Summation: The SNP have a lot gutter level people devoid of any integrity in its ranks.
Nicola Sturgeon, described Ferrier’s actions as 'reckless, dangerous and completely indefensible' and said she should resign as an MP. Enough said.
Her constituents need to recall her and get rid.
MargaretFerrier 2....... Yet you continue to take £85,000 + expenses per annum. You are a hypocrite and have broken the law. I hope you do NOT ride this out and that you lose your position and job. Shocking behaviour.
More front than Blackpool. Really? What a pile of BS. She knew exactly what she was doing and expected to get away with it. She has to go. I suspect there is a place for her in Trump's inner circle with that disregard for public safety. Do the right thing and resign.
😅😅 The bullshit scam continues.... Take your muzzles off folks... You are being played like 🎻
Why, did it turn Our Margaret into a decent human being and a good politician?
I am a very law abiding citizen, but why should I when people who should be my example don't?
So we have Cummings “testing his eyesight” and Ferrier “acting out of character”. Laughable excuses these MP’s give for breaking the law so they can get away with it. Shameful behaviour and an obvious sticking two fingers up to the public
Stupid woman! That’s what made her put lives at risk. Completely in character for a selfish imbecile!
She acted 'out of character', but only for the duration of the train journey home.
Yeah, shes finished. May is well act out of character and resign with dignity
MargaretFerrier is not acting 'out of character'. She's just dumb as bricks and counts herself among those who need not follow covid restrictions. The woman is not out of character, she's out of her mind. Who wears grey with Polka dots? There's ur answer. BlackLivesMatter
Resign
As the saying goes ‘stop digging ....’
OH UK stuff looks so normal.
Of course she can't resign! She will never work again.
Having spent 17 years as a school teacher, I’ve heard more than my fair share of terrible excuses, hers however surpasses any I’ve ever been expected to believe.
Does that mean Trump doesn't have ot then? Seeing as he's acting more extremely in character than usual.
If I rob a bank, can I say to the judge that the virus made me behave out of character? Think he will let me keep the money?
How worrying that Covid 19 can make you into such a selfish individual and strip you of any morals and integrity, or is that just on the MP generic job description as there seems to be many MPs and government officials with the same problem.
Completely shocked that MargaretFerrier hasn't done the right and decent thing and resigned. The 'virus make out act out of character' is clearly incorrect and just hands a green light to anyone wishing to break the rules and risk infecting others. Unbelievable.
Yeah right.
🤣😂🤣 Does that mean NicolaSturgeon and Ianblackford_MP have got it as well What a load of nonsense - selfish and thick could explain it but not the Covid19.
Because my studies found it is not COVID but indeed it is the radiation and the target is to control the emotions of the people by reforming the neutron system and distracting the frequency generated from our Brains.
hahaahah will e a good excuse for the BBC as well
So Cummings is fully pardoned? Or just her because reasons?
What utter clap trap. Have all her H of P Staff passed removed. Come on Sturgeon Sack the Women
When is her Court date?
Maybe they could add this to the list of symptoms; then obviously, anyone committing a criminal offence can walk free
She's as bad as Donald
Do As I Say Not As I Do
OMG is this another SNP Politician telling lies, she must be taking lessons from Nippy!
What an absolute A hole. Nothing More to say.
Is she for real ! Nothing to do with a virus and everything to do with an underlying selfishness and self-centred attitude. The fact she hasn’t already resigned shows nothing but contempt for the people who voted for her
If 'the virus made me do it' is a defence, I assume the government will be returning all fines and immediately suspending any further fines.
MargaretFerrier Haven't you caused enough damage to your party and your own reputation by breaking the law? Or what about the infections you left in your wake? Now you want to spin a 'Barnard Castle' level lie as your reason. Take what's left of your self respect and just go.
She should be sacked and in court! MargaretFerrier
Lame excuse. Sorry. Not acceptable.
Wow
I don’t recall that being one of the symptoms
She ain't giving up £80,000 a year. In what other circumstances would someone pay her that?
Being a surporter of the I R A shows she has no character at all
Bullshit!
Every symptom is COVID-19.
She aint wrong only yesterday phil Mitchell was acting like Ian beale
Bollocks
Sounds like Trump. Balderdash.
This woman is wrong on so many levels just like the rest of them that broke the rules rename them Teflon gang nothing sticks
She's SNP, did she suddenly turn into a really nice person?
Noooooooo!!!!
THE VIRUS MADE ME DO IT YOUR HONOUR!! 😂😂
A new symptom just for her, shows how gullible her party thinks we all are.
Bullshit
😂 course it does
Then all politicians must have COVID19
That won't wash unless Donald Trump lent her some meds!!
Oh my god!!! It does not prevent you making independent choices. If what she is saying is true there could be COVID recovery patients potentially causing anarchy out there. Sadly she made a bad decision- own up and move on
Wow the World Health Organisation finally comes out to appeal to world governments NOT to use Lockdowns as a solution to the v1rus because they just make poor people poorer, but only to used them to regroup resources....
I've heard it all now 🙄
🤷♀️
No shit sherlock!
Unacceptable, she should resign. Why is it these people think the rules don’t apply to them?😡 They are meant to lead by example
Jeez! She has to resign, at its base level Margaret Ferrier is a massive hypocrite after calling for Dominic Cummings to resign. What she did was arguably worse, twice using public transport while carrying the bug. Good news she seems to be better, but quit. Quit now!
People should take to the streets and kick these incompetent Mps Msps out 😡
coff 🐂💩 coff
Wondered what excuse she would come up with ! No excuse resign !!
Resign !!!
Why did she not have the app for England and Wales? Are other members of parliament not downloading the app?
This explains why BLM were so violent when they protested in London at the height of the epidemic. Oh hang on, they’re immune from the disease aren’t they? Or does the disease just leave them alone? It’s such a clever disease, it really is.
Am sorry but I think she should go. She knew what she was going, exactly where to buy a train ticket to she knew exactly what she was doing. Sure she's sorry now, tell that to all those she infected. I wouldn't vite for her
Doing the regular things you'd do, as if Covid never existed, can hardly be described as 'out of character'. Doing something totally random & unusual, due to the virus, that would be out of character. And we all know it. Who the f*ck is she trying to convince?
philiprichards5 What an absolute load of bollocks. Should have been kicked out of office immediately. Sham of a government.
The coronavirus is Mongolian biological weapon! If don't believe it, they may slowly end killing humanity!
The smell of bull shit is strong in her
This woman is unbelievable.Ordinary people are now making more sacrifices than ever due to the increased cases.There is no excuse for her actions she has no sympathy and very simply if she had any decency she would quit but has she.
So all the mistakes I had have made in life was down to having Covid? I never knew that. Thank you that explains everything
So everyone who has Covid can use this as an excuse to break the law.
How stupid does she think we are? Pretty stupid to swallow a lie that obvious.
The left are supremely strange.
Cummings didn’t quit media silent. Ferrier doesn’t quit media vitriol. Is it because she’s Scottish, female or not a Tory? CummingsMustGo
I didn't mean to rob the bank. I am suffering from Covid....that is different from insanity.
Perhaps she’s a risk to National Security then, what’s the saying? You live by the Sword, You die by the Sword. See ya. 👋👋👋
Has she been fined yet?
All these who’re people not following the rules
If there is evidence to support this, fair enough, but sounds a bit weird, Barnard Castle Eye Test esque.
Aii ok no need quit now says absolutely no 1 !!! MargaretFerrier joker pisstaker
A1VerminRemover Is this a really a thing? Asking for a country CovidCaughtTrump
So is she still acting out of character now? If not bloody resign
And that out-of-character behaviour is using the most trusted channels that have never before been brought into question. Due to the out-of-control free markets and the HUGE conflict going on between public and private, these anomalies happen - but NOT by chance. CrimeFreeUK
Ha ha. The nerve.
Who thinks Margaret Ferrier was acting out of character ? Please retweet for a wider sample
Didn't see that coming. What tosh. 😂😂😂😂
Great news, so if I fail to pay tax, drive at 100mph, sell drugs etc I can say sorry I had covid.
She is a chancer with no shame.
Hardly a credible argument when she was doing that before she caught the rona.
How many MP's have to break the rules and not face consequences before the British public realise that apparently there are rules for us and rules for them? Our MP's should be held to a higher standard than this. MargaretFerrier BorisJohnson
Looks like it was in character. She still doesn't care.
Oh, the really deadly disease hasn't killed her then ?
Who says there are no female comedians ?
Just an excuse, she needs to resign, putting others in danger.
Shameful. Getting every last pay packet possible before she is forced out
Absolute rubbish!
Seems that this is the most powerful of all viruses. It can see if you are eating. It can see if you are in a pub after 10pm. It can recognise you are singing. Now it can also change your personality. What next?
Does she still have it then, or has she always struggled with the truth?
No. Just resign.
MargaretFerrier Is that now an officially recognised symptom?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
next she will be saying that she had to travel to London to check her eyesight . MP,s are clowns and treat the public like fools
Chinny reck-ON
Resign. What kind of example are you to your constituents or the world? I say this as a Canadian who cares about the UK. Do the right thing otherwise you send the wrong message to others.
I've got 10 round for dinner today. If MargaretFerrier can break the rules so can I.
Selfish woman, just like Dominic Cummings, shame on her
So now she is in character and still a fool.
I wonder if this defence will stand up to scrutiny from the police or Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards🤣 Facts are clear - she broke the rules; she put significant number of people at risk; she got found out; she is trying to mount a defence to justify her actions [badly]
Hasn’t she resigned yet?
She won’t be standing in parliament and criticising the PM again then 🤷♀️ idiot!
She’s 60. Of course her financial and legal advisors will have told her to stay on. Pay rise (again) and pension on its way soon. Was always going to happen after the first 24 hours passed. 🤬
Its taken a few weeks to come up with this excuse and its a joke.
OMG this MP is such a liar....
Something smells of BS
Is this another side effect we should be looking for? Coz I think half the country must have the virus. Funny how the BBC are pushing this excuse from her but plagued Cummins for weeks. So will she apologise to cummins now for her remarks? Now she has seen the light?
‘Acting out of character’ Will they now add this to the list of symptoms? Dry cough Loss of taste and smell Acting out of character 🤣🤣
Sack her.
Lol
Aye right
So its okay to break the rules? Your defense is Covid made me act out of character Aaaaahh that's okay then
If Ianblackford_MP or NicolaSturgeon had any credibility, they would have called for MargaretFerrier to either resign immediately, or expelled her from theSNP. Sad to see that neither have any interest in doing what is needed.
No. Being a highly paid politician made her behave badly, not out of character and not unlike a lot who don’t know how to follow the rules THEY set!! Where are their punishments?
Bullshit. Just take a look at Donald Trump. He’s behaving totally in character.
This is so disgusting just like the Cummings case. These MPs have no respect for the people they serve.
Understanding that is sought and given privately is correctly denied to any leading public servant amid a national crisis. To deny choice to those around her to control their exposure to Covid19? To forget many avoid travel to protect others? This sadly necessitates resignation.
This grifter loves trains,gravy trains theres no way shes getting off 💰💰💰💸💸💸
This is what happens when we the people allow politician's to continually lower the bar. We've become such a shameless society.
Sadly every trait that is displayed by SNP members. Selfish, arrogant, not their fault, lies and excuses all topped with a huge helping of dishonour. Come on Ianblackford_MP where are your morals or authority? Is this acceptable?
Hahahaha
Fingernails practically through the desk as she clings to her MSP salary!! An era without shame or honour.
I don’t care, she needs to resign
That old chestnut🤪🤪🤪MargaretFerrier !
Tell me about it, I robbed a bank and had sex with a cow. Very out of character
STOP YOURSELVES
No it’s called common sense 🙈
Do what the moaning separatists do best and separate yourself from your job now.
That's some neck Margaret!
Fuck .... let me tell my wife.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
HAHAHA
🤣😂🤣😂🤦♂️
Dear me.
'Flooding, retaining wall collapse' by heavy rain in the morning. In the den of criminal South korea. 2020.07.29 news The punishment of GOD by prophet Yi ( David ) JESUS identifies to the they crime (Evil
The snout is well and truly in the trough.
Is that her excuse
Utter rubbish she knew full well what she was doing
Covid vigilantes everywhere but dear god she needs to shut now ......🤦🤦🙏
😭😭😭😭😭
Check this out👉👉
Bahahahaha and when I get the flu I act of character too. Rather than going to work I go to bed 🤯
Bye bye
Bahahahaha
I bet every drink driver who's been caught behind the wheel of a car had thought of that old chestnut.
There’s no resigning cause since the Cummings effect
Once a lier always a lier thats the people in parliament they don't know what the truth is or about cant even give a straight answer to every question they was or were answered
No it doesn’t!
DominicCummings and BorisJohnson had it too but they just continued being crooked lying scumbags.
If putting hundreds, if not thousands of people at risk is being 'out of character' it's time to step the fuck down
Liike being extremely selfish with no regard for other peoples health or wellbeing? Her constituents should get her deselected. What an absolute embarrassment of a human being.
I just liked😊
Then resign and go and act out of character somewhere else
On World Mental Day..
Time she got some character - and resigned.
No
oh please.
What planet are you from
Its just getting embarassing now.
