topcat(The most tip top) Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 2 hours ago, SandyCromarty said: Interesting, I googled but could not find any definitive answer, it could come down to residency, for instance the Blurt taking formal residency in London could delay possible HOL expulsion, when I say expulsion my argument there is based on the social difference from Ireland in the 1920's and to Scotland nowadays with regards to social media, on gaining independence there will be a widespread severe backlash against Scots in political office in England generated in the Daily Mail type right wing conservative media which will accelerate on social media, england for the english will be the shout. Although there certainly have been foreign born peers before and probably still are. We've currently got a prime minister who was born in New York so the foundation s for that nativism are shaky That said peerages are geographically tied so while Australians have sat in the lords its never been as Baron Bruce of Alice Springs. So excluding people with Scottish peerages as opposed to Scottish people might be more practical However there would probably be a few exceptions made just as happened when the hereditary peers got kicked out but some of them were elected back in Ruth may wish to become "Baroness Davidson of Berwick upon Tweed" just in case 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely wonderful that she should slither out of Holyrood and into the Lords as a figure of failure and utter ridicule. I caught up with a couple of the speeches yesterday, and seeing the wee band of Tories sitting there staring at their shoes while everyone else rounded on them was nothing short of brilliant. I hope they suffer similar misery at the ballot box. c***s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny had a wee reprimand for the FM for using the HOL dig in a 2nd reply. We can't have this as personal says the bold but retiring Ken, after weeks of personal abuse to the FM from the Ruth Davidson Conservatives for weeks. Since when has stating a fact that she is heading off to an unelected stipend been a matter of concern to him. Good riddance to her although I expect her soon to return in the "Scottish Office" so she does not have to actually go to London 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Correct. The Baroness will hang around the HOL for a couple of years before picking up a mail on Sunday article. Hopefully when we achieve independence she’ll f**k off into the distance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearthammer Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 If there is a God out there somewhere, then he/she had better tell wee Ruthie that Baroness of Dunfermline isn't an option. She can gtf to the hol asap, but don't dare drag us into her wee self-indulgent career move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's already got a weekly column in the Scottish Mail on Sunday. It is very poor. Generic Sturgeon bashing, bit of rugby and celebrity nonsense. Makes Tony Parsehole in Viz sound like Mark Twain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s a middle aged accountant and a nice person So it’s swings and roundabouts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
