  1. The SNP benches sitting on their hands is total cringe for them Actually had to put something out telling them all not to join in on the applause. Childish
  2. Angus Robertson isn't very pleasant at all.
  3. Ludicrous to blame anyone for a defect in the bridge - these things happen. What we can criticise is the (apparent) lack of planning for such an eventuality to occur. Given the importance of the route you'd have thought there would be a contingency plan in place that just needs dusted down when this happens. Agreements with ferry operators, bespoke train and bus time tabling on trains, removal of some light controlled junctions etc. loads could be done automatically but doesn't seem to be
  4. He puts a fair amount of context on it but I guess you've made up your mind having listened to all sides of the argument ?
  5. See if you can dig out what Paddy Ashdown said about it yesterday. He can hardly be accused of being a Tory but put his case forward for being in favour of the strikes.
  6. Wasn't just the government, politicians on all sides. In fact as far as I can see of all the parties who voted and had more than one MP doing so, the SNP is the only party who didn't have any sort of opposing view within their ranks. With so many of them this strikes me as decidedly odd. You can tell me all you like that none of them were convinced by the argument etc but not one of them thought differently???
  7. So anyone with an opposing view to you on this doesn't just have an opposing view, they are wrong on their held belief and you are right ?
  8. What should they be doing? Using voting buttons like a game show audience ? It's tradition and convention for them to do it this way in the House of Commons. Quite why you would have any issue with it is beyond me. What harm does it do?
  9. Not just Tory MP's You could see the SNP MP's hopping up and down on their benches protesting about the unfairness of them previously being rebuked for clapping.
  10. Also - why are people asking for a two day debate when the majority on all sides of the house can't be bothered hanging about to hear what people have to say for more than a couple of hours?
  11. is it likely that every single SNP MP will vote against the Governement? Are we really to believe that not one of them sees the merit in the proposed action ? Bizarre.
  12. The lack of Christmas cards for 'Gran' is quite infuriating. Nan, Nana, Granny, Grandma .. You name it they've got it apart from Gran
  13. Anyone taken their kids with them? Roughly what age could they complete the walk ?
  14. Bold statement by the yougov president there
  15. That's the Chief Constable putting Sky's reporting straight. Still a rescue operation.
  16. There's so much strange with that. Why on earth would a fire fighter be in that position and decide to phone his relative ??Hopefully all those left within get out safely
  17. But odds don't work like that. If you have a price of 5/1 you need to gauge the value of that by what odds are available on all the other runners. You know that though.
  18. Nope. Do you think I am. Do you not understand what I mean ?
