People who spoil their votes

The Verity House f**k up basically ended him as a credible politician

There's no need for the SNP to now be making any real concessions to anyone now. The Green's decision to vote no to Humza was a foot stamping reaction to the individual. They know full well that in a general election they would be back to one or two MSPs when Labour pick up more constituencies as the SNP sweep the lists. Even if it was Kate Forbes the best they will manage is abstention.

Kicking out the Greens was always a safe bet purely in terms of an SNP administration. Alba, Greens and Tories won't bring the govt down as they, and the SNP, would be the big losers from any general election. It also meant HY was never going to be able to lead the parliament. I wonder if he has been counselled to do this by people in the party who knew exactly that. I dont think people knew how unpopular he really was until the WM campaigning started in Feb/March. No wonder his cabinet colleagues were banging the the table when he made the announcement. That or he is just an absolute simpleton. Both seem plausible.

I had a minor freak out coming upon that loch in the thickest mist I have ever walked in, I was almost in the loch before I noticed it. The wind was so strong that there were huge waves coming towards the shore and because of the mist you couldn't see the other side which gave the impression the water went on forever. I thought I had somehow come to the edge of the world half way up a munro. I have a strong suspicion I didn't actually summit SCS but I won't be rushing back.

North End are winning this. Playing against ordinary teams who have nothing to play for in the double figures months.

You might be correct but his personal authority is shot. Interesting if the Tories would actually want a general election given there is every reason to expect they could go back to 4th party status.

Invergowrie beats @pleslie99 by resignation. Very close game but my opponent giving up a rook fork was the difference. Well played.

Maybe not but he has fucked it up spectacularly. He has form for making impulsive decisions eg ripping up the Verity House agreement 5 minutes after signing it with COSLA by announcing the council tax freeze and not consulting his cabinet. It's now clear he can't stay on. I imagine he will he sold sooner rather than later, if he hasn't already, that being beholden to Alba is intolerable. Whilst the likes of Forbes might like him to own a WM defeat I think there will be enough MPs in the central belt thinking there is enough time to turn it around or the Humza effect hasn't bottomed out yet.

The much maligned Beinn Bhuidhe today along the "ugly" new access track. Have to say I throughly enjoyed it. The track has bedded in, at least as far the hilltrack and i would believe you if you told me it had been there 50 years. Had summit views of mountains, lochs and islands so absolutely nothing to complain about.

This should have been happening at every Utd match this season

Lads, is a View From the Terrace friendly forum. Nobody here cares.

When was Rule Britannia written?

BBC would be as well putting on Tom and Jerry cartoons until the trophy presentation next week.

Is commitment to the pyramid not a condition of license even at T5? Get them emptied to the North Juniors.
