Any effort to do so during the pandemic would reverse the polling gains overnight imo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that, Nicola and her team has maintained an adherent observation and control on Covid,with far less emphasis on politics as Swiss Tony found at last week's FMQ's to his humiliation. Unlike the westminster tories who rushed headlong into easing lockdown resulting in english regional spikes, their other rush is into economic recovery while they should be maintaining a stricter vigilance on the pandemic. Their latest effort for economic recovery is urging us into restaurants with a discount promise, thereby exposing the population to cross pollution. This is highlighted by the UK's standing of 4th in the world with cases and 46,000 deaths, meanwhile France and Germany with larger populations have 30,000 and 9,000 deaths respectively. Something is far wrong with the Westminster handling of the pandemic, it's our lives. Edited August 3, 2020 by SandyCromarty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were true, that would be a profound position from which to plea to the populous. However, where is your data?

Only agenda driven narrow minded and closed ears are capable of such unhealthy reactions. This is after all a political forum. Not an echo chamber.

Sigh Your over reaction and your childish effort to class all Independence voters as less intelligent and not open to Scottish political opinion totally suggests that the increase in the Yes for Independence is rattling you and your fellow yoons. Then to top the insults you had asked for data which AUFC90 posted for you, then in your ignorance, and because it proved what I had said earlier, absolutely ignored that and instead posted the above trashy shite. And then you have the fuckin cheek, after only 23 posts, to remind us that this is a political forum? I've been here since 2005 and I'm well aware of what the forum represents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you call that evidence? By the way, length of time, means hee haw. Take jail time.
