The best had to be David Mellor getting emptied and trying to deflect by having a screaming meltdown about what a loser James Goldsmith was because it wasn't him that unseated the toe-sucker. Christ, that was the election where Martin Bell finished off Neil "Cash 4 Questions" Hamilton too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t decide on it being Ad Lib with the subtle chuckle or Sturgeon giving it big licks at the Swinson result. I think the latter, because I saw it live and greatly enjoyed the resulting gammon seethe. Beautiful seeing Ad Lib living out the dream tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Murphy's farewell could only have been made better if he'd bitterly got tore into Ad Lib for losing his deposit. Politicians losing their shit is the reason for staying up 'til silly o'clock every few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how a couple of weeks ago when I suggested this outcome and plenty of letters some of the more grumpy da's on here acted like what I was saying was impossible and my thoughts were based on nothing.

If the Tories suffer very bad bye election results, they might get rid of BoJo the clown and then just blame him for everything and hope the electorate will be fooled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if poor by-election results is what gets the numbers over the line. It's a stretch but I'm hoping for Cummings to be sitting on better pictures and to have more of an explosive downfall. I saw a poll the other day that had Zahawi as one of the top contenders to replace him so I can't see anyone in the party that could win over the electorate in time if that's the case. One of the main points relevant to this forum is Labour are likely to get in without needing the SNP. Where does that put Indy or the appetite for it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depressingly. On the brighter side, that mean Sturgeon would probably bugger off to some highly paid NGO job or similar. Not sure the next leader would be any better. Could be a lot worse. Humza Useless would be the worst option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Sir Keef must be absolutely insufferable right now. Shame his strategy of masterful inactivity won't pay off when an actual election is on hand and the tax cuts start getting dangled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go with what you want. My reasons for disliking Sturgeon are nothing to do with her gender and everything to do with her actions and equally importantly, her inactions. It's such a lazy attitude to immediately brand someone who doesn't like a female politician as a misogynist. If I said, I dislike Priti Patel, would you assume it is because of her gender? 1 hour ago, BFTD said: Massive John Swinney fan IMO. Jesus Christ, no. There aren't many in the SNP that I would have much faith in but he would be well down the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent thing she has done completely wrong imo were the restrictions in December. Giving Humza Useless any sort of responsibility is another poor decision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
