Frank Grimes Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Essentially the extreme No bubble on Twitter is now where the extreme Yes bubble was 6 years ago I admit I even got caught in some of the hype but the months leading up to the indyref you had wallopers predicting a comfortable 60% Yes vote which ended up being a ridiculous and ultimately unhelpful echo chamber. That’s where your Effie Deans’ of the world are now, albeit on the opposite side of the argument The subsequent No vote wasn’t the last dose of reality we have since faced but the Yes movement really needs to unite around the SNP from now until May and secure that unmistakable mandate The EU result changed things but so has the pandemic so I’ve no issue with giving the SNP one more go to get the second referendum signed, sealed and delivered The Unionists are absolutely rattled at the moment, let’s keep them on the run and hopefully the Polls keep going in the right direction Sustained positive polling is essential from now until May Edited July 6, 2020 by Frank Grimes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The North Koreafication continues apace. Who knew there was a Nicola Sturgeon Appreciation Society? As you'll know from your membership of the Nicola Sturgeon Appreciation Society there are plans for a mass celebration of Kim Jock Yin's 50th birthday on Sunday week. Have you put your ideas in? Maybe you could just light your Nicola Sturgeon Candle and offer a prayer for the Chief Mammy. In normal societies this sort of thing - appreciation societies, prayer candle,self-styled 'chief mammy' title - would be lampooned by comedians and ripped apart by satirists. Not in the DPRS, though. Here, the height of political satire is the FM approving of the 'hilarious' Janey Godley's voice-overs of her images to lampoon the basturt English. State approved comedy, eh? Near-deification of the dear leader? Calls for public birthday celebrations? What a fucking laugh. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tirso Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Apart from anything else I have to take my hat off to the sheer shift Sturgeon has been putting in. She leads everything all the time and comes across a class act. Regardless of party politics, her work ethic is commendable. I did not believe Scottish independence would be strengthened by a global pandemic but shows how mad the world is. i think independence is only worth it if enough people buy into it. I feel it's on that trajectory. It feels like the normal point of view in my age group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worried that uncritically backing them in 2021 just gives them carte blanche to go down a Tory lite path in the next parliament for a mandate that's going to be treated as seriously as every other apparent mandate the SNP have won in recent years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
