Who will blink in an effort to maintain a political career in an independent Scotland? Will we ever see a day when the Tank Commander claims that, well, I was never against Scotland being self-governing per se, just that it didn't seem that it was something the majority of Scots wanted, but times have changed and...? It's already happening. Unionist journo Kenny Farquarson saying if indy hits 60% in the polls then he would have to rethink his position on the Constitution. Now saying he's always been an ambivalent Unionist - could have fooled me on that one Kenny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 4 hours ago, MixuFruit said: It's an interesting point in general, particularly for Labour politicians. The career progression 20 years ago was cooncillor-MSP-MP-Lord/Lady. As the sozzled appearance of George Foulkes shows, that end point isn't really available to many of them anymore. So they're starting to spin off in different directions. The right in English Labour have decided wrecking on behalf of industries hostile to social democracy was the way to go under Corbyn, so they're all working for private water companies, debt collector trade bodies and so on. Up here it seems a few get (thoroughly undeserved on academic grounds) jobs with universities. That's where Dugdale, Alexander have gone. Various others have flitted in and out of ways to get at the public purse - e.g. Boyack, McLeish. I think it'll be interesting to see where some of the SNP retirees/otherwise leaving parliament end up. Some of their spads have ended up in powerful positions in the private sector - Geoff Aberdein for example works in finance now. This is probably significant as a tell about why these companies hire these people and what it means about their disposition to independence. I was watching an interview with a bond fund manager at Baillie Gifford who said 100% of their analysis was on long term trends and 0% was on short term swings in the economy. If these powerful sectors in Scotland are hiring and paying handsomely for the insights of SNP aligned figures then I think that self interest - more than any principle rattling around in unionist politicians heads - is what will be the thing that shifts these people over. This isn't a defence of the way the world works, but it is the way the world works. Got it in one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 The Scottish tory owned print media are now in battle dress and their frightened brainwashed journos are being threatened with their jobs unless they spew out totally distorted anti SNP bile. It only serves to convince us how frightened the rees moggs wankers are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a boy. The unionists are, as you can imagine, utterly seething about this - with most of the social media comments being “he doesn’t even live here, he lives in LA!!1!1!1” I'm sure it was ok for all these twats to vote the way they did though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9FggJE1HjY 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Democracy? Not in the UK. What people were worried about with rights and devolution being slowly stripped away is actually being laid bare in front of us all. Honestly Scotland, get the f**k away from this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
