The utter shitebaggery of labour too, people thought pre Blair if only we had a labour government things would be good. Turns out they're a shower of c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out they're a shower of c***s. Well, exactly. A lot of Remainers don’t grasp with the fact that a lot of people hated Thatcher for decimating their communities but hate Blair more for completely ignoring their existence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He betrayed labours roots, thus fking labour for a generation and shifting the centre ground of British politics to the right. Hopefully helped break the union too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In these times of austerity, that's a fucking disgrace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43301773 So Henry Bolton is going to set up a new intolerant racist party. He’s desperate for the limelight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonwell Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Mark McDonald resigns from the SNP but holds on to his MSP role. With Nicola calling on him to go and seemingly Salmond waiting in the wings, you’ve got to imagine any pressure that can be exerted on him will be. It’d be quite good for all concerned if he just fucked off tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonwell Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 No surprise there but yes most fair minded people would conclude that he has to go. The unfortunate thing is I don’t think there’s much that can be done to force his hand (other than booing him in the corridors). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 What's the deal with standing down as an MSP? Is it like the stupid thing at Westminster where you have to take a job in the Chiltern Hundreds, or can you just chuck it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that for anything substantive to be done, like being stepped down as an MSP, someone would have to bring forward and win legal proceedings. I may be wrong.
