Fide Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 People are dancing less, because SNPbad!!! http://www.scottishconservatives.com/2015/12/7905/ 22 Dec 2015 The number of people dancing in Scotland has halved since 2007 – proof that the SNP has taken the spring from the country’s step, new figures have suggested. A survey of householders across the country has revealed that while 14 per cent said they danced regularly eight years ago when the nationalists came to power, that plunged to just seven per cent last year. The drop in dancing participation comes despite the rising popularity in that time of television shows like Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing on Ice, as well as efforts by both the NHS and the Scottish Government to encourage people to lead active lives. The comprehensive study asked nearly 10,000 people about their exercise habits, and also found the number of people regularly playing football has fallen from nine per cent of the population to just seven per cent. Golf has dropped from nine per cent to six per cent in that timeframe, while those regularly playing snooker tumbled four points to five per cent. The data was revealed in the Scottish Government’s 2014 Scottish Household Survey, published earlier this year. Scottish Conservative health spokesman Jackson Carlaw said: “If ever proof was needed that the SNP has sapped the energy from people’s feet, this is it. “It’s clear thousands of people right across Scotland are worn out by the nationalists’ narrow-minded constitutional wrangling and grievance agenda. “You could say the Scottish Government has been doing a Charleston all this time. “But there is a serious side to these figures too. “They show that many have turned their back on once-popular activities – particularly dancing – which contribute to a healthy lifestyle. “That is of great concern, and I hope we are somehow able to turn this around in future years. “With challenges like obesity and diabetes causing increased trouble for the NHS, we need to press home the importance of an active and energetic approach to life.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Surely a wind up. FWIW I danced for about three days solid when 56 SNP MPs were returned. Out of decency to my fellow human beings I did it behind closed doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonbuddie Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I've got to disagree with the thread title, this is far and away the best SNP Bad story ever and will never be beaten. I found it at around 06:30 this morning and I'm still laughing at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Id love to dance on David Cameron's grave. The selfish multi millionaire is denying me the chance to do this, CameronBad. He's getting buried at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menzel Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 The Tories forgetting that it's usually a good idea when spinning to omit the actual good news, like an increase in people participating in sport and other fitness activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Saw this on my facebook feed; http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/14164942.display/ Decided to have a little read through it. Now, the *only* quote from Tasmina I can see is: "While clearly Iran has a distance to travel on gender equality, so too does Westminster." which prompted this response: Scottish Conservative MSP Alex Johnstone said: "Just when you think the SNP's rhetoric on Westminster can't get any more ridiculous, one of their MPs ?sets new limits. It's such a ludicrous, pathetic remark, it's almost not worth even taking seriously." now unless I'm going absolutely mental here, what in the blue f**k is so wrong with Tasmina's (incredibly brief!) statement edit: going by what's quoted at least? It's not as though she's said that Britain is worse than Iran on gender issues, merely that there's scope for progress in both countries?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they will run an article on the increase in dancing come May, due to the big 3 being trounced at Holyrood..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike you, who spends every waken hour scouring the right wing press to post SNPBaaaad. I'm coming round to thinking you are a troll, you have never had one original thought in your life, surely that's not possible, even for a 12 year old?

It was just part of the general Iranian cock sucking they seem to have engaged in here. Much like the Chinese visit here. Let's gloss over your horrific treatment of women. You know.. You stone women to death for alleged adultery, we don't have 50% representation in Parliament.. We both have a lot of work to do. All friends together.

Mortar Bored Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 No doubt Iran & other nations have horrific history of treatment of females, but! When did we (uk) fully emancipate? It's a fair point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the SNP mp's/msp's behaved better you would not get so many negative stories about them or their party in the press. But dont let your own parties mp's/msp's actions get in the way of your SNPbad excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 It's generally not the done thing to go on a trip to a country and call your hosts total c***s. You'd hope that a delegation from the SNP might ask questions about human rights in Iran on their trip though. Loads of businesses and countries are vying for the Iranian market in the light of the nuclear deal. As an economy it has huge untapped potential - big, educated, young population etc. They aren't as reliant on oil as some of the other OPEC countries in the region either.
