Aye, sure... you hand the Unionist establishment weapons-grade uranium, but you remain confident that they won't, eh... actually use it... Settled! It's already started: wee slimeballs like Tomkins questioning the 'responsibilities' of parliaments, grandstanders like Neil comparing Scotland to a 'rogue US state' and wondering when the 'federal govt' is going to intervene, random yoon bears on Twitter calling for the 'suspension' of the devolved administration (ever heard of N. Ireland?)... The longer Sturgeon hangs on, the worse it will get. But you are unable or unwilling to understand any of that (or basic stuff like rule of law or separation of powers)... because you are 'correct'. Go you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 'wishing' for it?! I'm trying to point out what's at stake... so that maybe, you know, it doesn't happen? I have an open offer on a charity bet that Sturgeon will be gone by midnight on 31st May, if you fancy? (I'd have gone for earlier, but the lovable rogues who took the bet suggested that was 'fair'..). The only way I could meaningfully frame a bet on Holyrood would be to say that 'in the 0.01% chance that Sturgeon survives, Holyrood will be closed in X years'... but I'm not sure we really want to be in touch with one another for 'X years'. By the way, I think it's every bit as likely (unless we get a quick resolution to the current problem) that the threat of closing down Holyrood will be mobilised... then withdrawn, on the understanding that we promise to be a nice compliant wee devolved administration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'm going to say that if you are giving the dictionary definition of anything in your submission then you have no actual, tangible evidence. A lot of Salmond's submissions seems to be about how good behaviour in public office is paramount and of upmost importance to civil society AND also claiming that any public servant caught breaking rules should be able to avoid any actions against them by simply resigning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have bet on that being earlier, but I happily went with the suggestion you and the Falkirk fella made. I am now, entirely separately, offering you an opportunity to salvage your honour by taking a different bet on the elections being postponed. Looking further ahead, I'm quite reasonably arguing that the longer Sturgeon clings on, the more the Unionists will start calling the authority of the parliament into question (why the f**k would they not?), but suggested that wasn't such a good basis for a bet, because it's long term? We clear? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
