There have been 19 General Elections since WWII, there have been 9 Tory governments and 1 Tory led coalition government.  In only one of these elections the Tories in Scotland had the same number of seats as Labour, in every other election they have had less.

Even in the recent resurgence in the Holyrood elections last year they polled less than 25%.

My point?  The Tories have no right to speak for Scotland, they have not had that right for decades.  For Theresa May to come to Scotland and try to preach to us is the epitome of political arrogance.  She may be British Prime Minister but her political capital in Scotland has no worth whatsoever.

Except amongst regionalists, who will point out that Scotland willingly chose to be a northern outpost of May's glorious empire in 2014. Apparently no other votes have been cast since then, for anything.

Sadly that argument has some validity.  The timing of the next referendum is crucial.

Next referendum?  Are the brain-dead Nats still obsessing about this?  What about the fucking schools, as oor Theresa said today?

Do you think there won't be one?
 

 

Oh probably there will...maybe even in my lifetime.  The pathetic thing is that Wee Burnie has put Scotland on hold since Brexit rather than acting as a proper FM.

What's Theresa May's excuse?

She doesn't even have the constitutional question to excuse her, that's been settled, of sorts.

What about the fucking English NHS (as she didn't say today)?

How can a devolved parliament put the country on hold? Is hatchet-faced May so fixated on Brexit that Scotland doesn't have a sovereign parliament at present?

You're a quoting machine this evening, bud...mostly a shite yin.

So are we back on track with The SNP garroting Scotland's institutions by obsessing about independence?

So what you're saying is that the UK is already being garrotted due to the Tories obsessing about its independence? Sounds like a good reason to get out.

A grand total of three posts prior to this.

Indeed, that is machine-like.

That "obsession" slant is an accusation often aimed at those that critique unionists and the (the) Rangers debacle alike.  Thin skin is a common attribute, amongst others.

Not a clue what that means.

Anyway...lovely stuff from Mrs May today and she's absolutely on the money.  Scotland is in stasis while Wee Nicola abandons her FM duties to vent about a policy that's been put to bed.

The tragedy is that The SNP fanboys support her and Labour is a busted flush.

"Put to bed", except here we are - and the issue still warrants attention...

...hurrah.

I bet the fragrant Theresa held her nose all the way up and all the way back to Englandshire.
