Scottish Politics Thread

[HCL]

I think what you are trying to say is so much work has been put in messing this whole affair around that nobody knows who is responsible for what/to whom/by anyone?

Maybe Nicky has a copy of Marmion up on her bathroom wall.

"Oh what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive"​

What she does not realise though is the poem is about the spanking that the Scots got at Flodden

ETC The spelling of Marmion.

Spot on.

I wonder where the majority of the online abuse came from?
I think I can hazzard a guess.

After Mr Kennedy’s death it was revealed an SNP official, Brian Smith, who was convener of the party’s Skye and Lochalsh branch at the time, had resigned after making abusive Twitter comments.

Former Lib Dems leader Charles Kennedy faced 'abuse and denigration of worst kind' before he died

The former leader of the Liberal Democrats, Charles Kennedy, faced “cruel beyond words” social media abuse and poisonous-pen letters during the 2015 general election and in the weeks preceding his death, according to claims in a new documentary.

I would probably go as far as saying that the comments were made at the behest of a certain pie eating, obnoxious mouthpiece.

Not to mention UK political life.

At what stage in the easing of Lockdown will we see Chief Mammy Nicola Sturgeon pose with other people's bairns again?

 

[undervalued]

Earlier in this thread I referred to Sturgeon as either a traitor or treasonous, I can't remember which & I can't be bothered to go back & look.
A certain mod was straight on the case & called me an a*sehole.
I'm still of the same opinion.
I wonder if he is still as loyal.

Crown Office says it has 'grave concerns' about Alex Salmond evidence

Holyrood has been asked to withdraw or redact claims about Salmond’s former colleagues, sources say

COPFS "encouraging" Scottish parliament to rescind the published evidence.

This stinks more and more by the hour.

No, Ian Blackford, you really weren’t the victim: your campaign against Charles Kennedy was a disgrace

Few things have made me quite as angry as SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford’s revisionist interview in The Times (£)last weekend in which he claimed that the SNP’s vicious campaign against Charles Kennedy in 2015 was nothing to do with him and he was in fact the victim. He said: I did not...
