invergowrie arab Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 2 hours ago, NotThePars said: Those are the people I’m referring to. They’re the big hitters that could’ve partially tipped the scales but they were sitting back and waiting for the more radical dafties to shoot their load and see how it goes. It really annoys me that I can’t remember the term for it because I read it in a book last year. I want to say it’s the rebel’s gambit but it’s not that. Alba were fucked unless they could make a sufficiently big splash with the radicals to tempt other fence sitters into joining in but they couldn’t and so they didn’t. I take your point about Joanna Cherry. Angus MacNeil is a knitted character 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Their 500 voters must feel very let down. Still, that's what happens when you aren't a proper party with rules and structures and policy making bodies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 The embers of this bin fire still burning then. A fucking minter to spend the last few months claiming the SNP don't want independence, to then have your 2nd top boy come out with a Gordon Brown special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Sannox Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Alba is a tragic cringefest. The sort of losers gathering that you would expect Janey Godley to be involved with. I really hope they are around for a while yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Passed a flat in Maddiston yesterday. All through the election they had a big ALBA sign above their door and saltires in all the windows. All still there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, the Alba party received almost as high a percentage of the vote in Scotland as Laurence Fox received in the London Mayor election. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Now the dust has settled who do we nominate for the biggest idiot in the Alba debacle? There's roughly 45000 people to choose from but I'm nominating Austin Sheridan as the only guy who took the grift at face value and now has to list himself as a "former SNP councillor and SNP member" in his Twitter bio and retweets them every day despite leaving them to join Alliance for Independence AND Alba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 20 years ago I shared an office with a girl (there were 6 of us in the office in total). This girl, though, was funny, smart and very laid back. We were friendly at the time (not in that way). We stopped working together in 2003 when I moved away and lost contact fairly soon afterwards. Last night my wife is on Twitter, and showed me a profile. It was her (she and my wife had always got on as well). No idea what happened to her but the twitter timeline is endless anti-Trans stuff, ALBA party guff and conspiracy theories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 That's just generally the worst thing about social media, and the reason I dropped off it. It's not worth keeping track of what people are up to when it turns out that secretly they're all a bunch of seething roasters, in one way or another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
