She saying her wages as a MSP while she is away will go to charity it should be going back to the taxpayers since it is us that pay her wages. If she want to give some of her fee from the program to charity, then that is her decision. If what she said is true, that there is no real need for her to be here since nothing really important is going on in work why don't all the MSP just take 3 weeks off as well and go away and enjoy themselves on the back of the taxpayers
