Bad husband, bad father, bad neighbour with a violent and threatening reputation that was known to many people, including - allegedly - the chief executive of the SNP. And yet, he became an MSP, in a party that has been passing laws to control other people's behaviour for the past 3 years. It took a newspaper campaign to expose his history and a court case to show exactly what a monster he was - is.
He's now expelled from the SNP but is still an MSP, who can turn up and collect his wages until 2015. Apparently that amounts to £155,000. Then if he isn't re-elected, he can have a 're-settlement' package of almost £30,000.
Did he lie about his past to the SNP? If he did, he should get nothing. It's called misconduct and you don't get rewarded for that. And if he goes, he can take the chief exec of the party with him, because if he knew about Walker's past and let him go through as a candidate, he's a disgrace.
And the worst part of this affair for me? What else is going on at council, Scottish Parliament and Westminster level that we don't know about?
