SANTAN Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I may or may not work for a company linked to serco and might actually be one of the few people benefiting from the test and trace service. If that were the case I'd like to think of it as jobs for the bois etc.. a little thank you nod for voting for the baddies. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed and even Anas Sarwar suggested he act like a grown up, whilst Oliver pleaded that Anas and Wullie should join him in stopping Indy2. They ignored him. He also said later he was in favour of "muddling through" and did not want to be in office to make these tough decisions. He will of course still get Borders to vote him back in on the basis of Stop the SNP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still vote Mundell on the Indy basis anyway however having said that I've not seen much of him, I of course know his dad but had managed to avoid him until I watched Debate Night the other night and by God he was terrible. Just came across flapping on every issue, looked scared to discuss anything. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I think you're right with that. But to be fair to Sarwar he seemed to at least be attacking Mundell, poor wee Oliver looked as if they had some pact not to go for each other and that Sarwar had just betrayed him, he was a deer in the headlights and just seemed so out of his depth. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Mundell being absolutely skewered from all angles here. Pathetic performance. Edited February 19, 2021 by Gordon EF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erih Shtrep Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Quite mad to think Willie Rennie has been leader for 10 years, has basically done nothing of note, and isn't under any pressure whatsoever. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Davidson is a stick on, question is will she work in Johnson's cabinet...she hates himShe doffed her cap to work with a party that has an open hatred for same sex relationships. She'd fold like a shite deckchair if the money was right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hope they would go extinct in Scotland but seems there's 4-5% hardcore supporters that will always vote for them. PS Of the Northern Isles, where are the SNP bigger? I assumed it would be Orkney due it being closer to the mainland but IIR, their vote share was higher in Shetland than Orkney last few polls? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going by 2016 Holyrood elections, slightly bigger on Shetland. 32% of the vote on Shetland, 24% on Orkney (and Shetland had a reasonably popular independent candidate running as well). No other party got into percentage double figures in either constituency. Orkney is the most anti-independence LCA in the country, Shetland is 3rd.

I can see why if you are a No voter , then it's hard not to give your vote to the Conservatives. I agree he was flapping and it amazes me that a guy with his legal background , is so poor. Obviously I support the Indy 2 side of the debate but your guys might need to up their game, or maybe I should not suggest that. I won't comment on his Dad but I think he was shabbily treated by the Johnston government. Take care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however think there are more competent speakers from a Unionst perspective so I don't think it's quite that bad but we should definitely but Mundell Jnr on the subs bench for now -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Thanks for the fine tuning but I did regard Dumfries/Galloway as a Borders constituencyIt’s a “Border constituency” but not a “Borders constituency”Presumably they don’t play enough Rugby or have enough common ridings to be “Borders” proper.Although arguably Langholm is Borders even though they pay D&G council tax 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
