Highland Capital Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I see the Freedom Alliance had an election broadcast and it makes All For Unity's look relatively sane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was another bizarre one with great drone tourism project of wonderful Scottish places, and did credit the author, but it had an unidentified voice over and no individual mentioned as their leader/supporters. Am I correct that it is that Foxy chap/actor? It seemed to advocate no restrictions on anyone during a Public Health Pandemic but at least did not say No to Indy Ref2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the party he founded I believe. I can understand the desire to conserve freedoms but they're essentially advocating people breaking the lockdown, travelling about and even shaking hands and going into other people's houses willy nilly. If they're going to say things like that at least outline your plan on how to stop Covid running riot and having the hospitals filled to the brink. I can only assume the reason they don't have one is because they're Covid conspiracy theorists, but they don't have the guts to say it. I'll be surprised if this mob get more than a couple thousand votes nationwide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I've been looking for the odds about individual seats changing hands... The only interesting one I've found so far is Edinburgh Central where Paddy Power has SNP 8/15, Tories 11/8. Ed Southern and West look like Lab and Libdem holds... As Robin Day might have said 'not scientific but interesting nonetheless'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, the party activists can't do much else. I don't think they've been canvassing and they couldn't do events like stalls, handing out balloons in High Streets etc. Leafletting is one of the few things they can actually do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDoddyKane Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 2 things Ive noticed from the infrequent times I see the Scottish news. Nicola Sturgeon cant finish a sentence without mentioning the tories and if its not that shes speaking on behalf of the "People of Scotland". Its a bit tiresome. Something a bit more uplifting would be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
