He's a roaster but he winds up the right people and broadly has good politics. Also great to see minority and disabled representation at Holyrood 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see her consuming the souls of her enemies too, thinking about it. Have your kids reached the age for Pocoyo, or is this just a personal guilty pleasure? She's been known to trot out an 'I had to flee persecution so know all about hardship' narrative from time to time, which is odd since she was born in London, years after her parents arrived in the UK Edited March 5, 2021 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be wrong but if i had to guess the identity of some numpty that would like running about with a flag calling for Nicola to resign i would think the leader of the scottish tories & assistant linesman Douglas Ross must be a suspect 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 It'll be one of those definitely grass roots and not at all funded by tory donors campaign groups that are on twitter all the time making a tit of themselves.The Majority being my favourite with their under 15k followers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Excellent. So a group with a social media presence of a lowland league fitba team has just spunked a fair whack of money on a stunt like that.Desperation stuff.Can we do a freedom of information on the Conservative Bank accounts to check for any large outgoing transactions for banner making materials recently? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just know they planned it all thinking Sturgeon was going to get taken down on Wednesday and we'd be in the middle of rising public pressure for her to resign, with them imagining their wee banners and billboards being the coup de grace. Instead, she sailed through the hearing, blunted the majority of the attacks on her and SNP membership has shot up. Spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) The big electronic billboard on the Clydeside expressway (heading towards the tunnel just after the SECC) is carrying the #ResignSturgeon advert. I’d definitely be in favour of extending her contract, she’s a top player. Edited March 5, 2021 by Mark Connolly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 2 hours ago, DeeTillEhDeh said: I have him on ignore and missed that beauty. Anyone who thinks the SNP did nothing during the Brexit fiasco is living in an alternate reality. It's actually the one thing that has united both sides of the party. I get the criticism of people who expected to see more of an overt strategy of pushing for independence but it's pretty obvious that Sturgeon's tactic has been to be seen exhausting every possible avenue of working within the UK given the 2014 result so that the shift towards pushing for indyref2 isn't just seen as opportunism. Which also bears out with Sturgeon's natural cautiousness and how explicitly non-radical the SNP are. And the polling is bearing that strategy out for now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallant Pioneer Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 3 hours ago, Dunning1874 said: She said each time she was asked that prior to the meeting she was under the impression it was party business. After being told what it was actually about and discovering it was therefore government business at the meeting, she was worried that recording it after the fact would risk influencing an investigation through indicating her awareness of it. You can reject that explanation as unbelievable or unjustified - particularly with the second part it would be understandable to think that isn't a valid excuse - but she clearly has provided an explanation. I'm forced to conclude that you are therefore deliberately misleading P&B and are breaking the poster's code. #STRICHENERMUSTRESIGN Salmond wanted the meeting to seek help from Sturgeon. The last thing he wanted was for the meeting to be minuted. Given that Salmond knew the ministerial code it would have been in his interests to frame the proposed meeting as personal/party business.......exactly as reported by Sturgeon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He previously stated that he didn't attend as it was government business. I personally don't believe it as I don't see why it would be any business of the party when the Government were investigating the former head of the Government under a policy written by the civil service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
