Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Tier One military power. What does that even fucking meanSomething to do with realising that we cant keep up with Russia and US nor do we have to. Its actually quite positive, perhaps we can now reduce military spending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Top trolling from the SNP forcing umpteen votes while England are playing. The Tories are rattled, with Margot James having a go at Ian Blackford and Pete Wishart. What they don’t realise is that the SNP have constantly spoken out about the arcane voting system. With electronic voting it would have been well over by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakedee Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 The irony of Douglas Ross being critical of SNP members not being in the chamber. He clearly has no shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 If this how we win our independence: pissing off the Tories so much that they kick us out of the union then I’m all for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaspianChris Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Instead of congratulations to England for managing to win a penalty shoot out Theresa May should be getting things back in order in her own party. Esther McVey had been accused of lying about the a very critical report by the National Audit Office on the Universal Credit Scheme. The misrepresentation of the report was meant to show the scheme in a good light and make it look like it was working well when anything but the case. A claim the head of the NAO said was not proven. McVey also said that the scheme should continue and go forwards faster, which contradicts the NAO report. McVey is clearly an evil nasty piece of work with no decency who will not resign wich is the decent thing to do. Theresa May is a cowardly headless chicken who does not have the courage to sack her which is also a correct course of action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theresa May is a cowardly headless chicken who does not have the courage to sack her which is also a correct course of action. May cannot sack anyone at the moment, though she probably wouldn't sack McVey anyway. May has lost all control over her party and it is unlikely she will be able to regain it. It is intertesting to see commentators from across the politcal spectrum increasingly accuse her of weak leadership. With all that is going on, a GE is forced and Labour cannot beat the Tories it will be an indication of just how useless Corbyn is; I reckon it could lead to huge divisions in Labour ranks at a time when there needs to be effective opposition to the Tories at a UK level. In other news Tories in alliance with far right Swedish political group. Hands up if you are surprised.

It is worrying that these sort of groups are on the rise again, not just in the UK but all around Europe. It feels like we are heading back to darker days sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Not sure whether the Maybot was displaying general ignorance or a coded acceptance of Independence for Scotland when she followed up "When we leave the UK" with "these devastating fires in the north of Britain" at PMQs today. Last time I looked, Saddleworth was comfortably in the bottom half of the Island. She's beginning to look like a woman on the edge now - even her pre-scripted responses are being stuttered and mangled as she desperately tries to ignore the vultures around and behind her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a forced GE in the next months you would think that someone would call for a rainbow coalition "Stop Brexit" party that had one line in their manifesto - stop Brexit. Encourage all non-tory candidates to step aside or join in under that banner & immediately resign their seats on success. The remain half of Labour stop Corbyn from getting the reigns/being humiliated (delete to taste). Stops the Daily Mail outrage from being directed at one party. "aren't you undermining the will of the people?" "no, we believe the evidence wasn't there and as time has gone on the situation has changed, there's no point in throwing yourself into the abyss out of pride, we can stop this disaster from happening" I doubt anyone would be brave enough to stick their head above the parapet & do it though. That said, at one point I actually thought May might stand in front of the people & go "you know what, this is insane, we tried to negotiate and it became clear that the best course of action is to stay and reform from within, we tried to do what you ask but we're just to linked in to properly separate in a safe & efficient manner so I've informed the EU we've withdrawn article 50 & I've offered my resignation to my party in the knowledge that I've done the best thing for the country" so ... I'm a total fantasist, don't listen to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Who would lead this Stop Brexit Party and what’s their strategy to a) win over Remainers that have accepted the result and b) convince Leave voters to switch for Remain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the SNP are looking for someone to spearhead a campaign to stop the Scottish Tories, then unfortunately it isn't Salmond. He's too polarising a figure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
