Hard to see how it will get any better. Yes, it's impossible for people to improve on a first attempt at something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he was reading scripted answers he came over poorly. He tried too often with the usual Sturgeon responses as well. At least Sturgeon seldom referred to her notes and was a confident speaker. Mathieson and Robison really are a poor choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I thought he did fine, he's just got to learn to brush off Ross while remaining calm, shouting back at him with personal barbs makes him look nearly as weak as him. . And Sturgeon was constantly referring to her notes btw, Yusaf didn't have a lot of time to prepare for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whomever is screening the public gallery entrants isn't doing a very good job. Back when it was the GC lot they are known to the admins, they were kb'd every single time they applied for tickets in their own names because of prior behaviour inside the building, so Tory MSP's booked gallery seats as a block for "guests" and handed them the tickets. Doubt anyone actually wants the ecomentalists in there, but i wouldn't put it past the Greens 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the media, unionists, and others who want him to fail might be better directing their criticism to the really poor questions being asked by the opposition. New boy in the job for a day could have been put under real pressure but it was yet another Dross own goal allowing Yousaf to stress independence plus Sarwar harking back to Humza's time in Health and using a single example (tragic though it is) seemed very tame. It allowed FM to try and talk about the 'big picture' and not just one aspect of his remit. Overall I'd say he 'won' that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an improvement on NS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I see Yousaf is not too pleased with Allan Dorrans voting with the Tories to limit Margaret Ferrier’s recommended suspension to 9 days. Fortunately he was on the losing side. I’m assuming the Dorrans’ guy is not the sharpest tool in the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to figure out what was on Dorran's mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to figure out what was on Dorran's mind. Not very much by what I've seen and heard of him. He could be very easily mistaken for one of those remarkably underwhelming urban labour types that were so wearingly returned for so long. Tommy Graham was the archetype of the genre and the lesson from history is there for all to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ireland, the EU, Germany and the Balkans. We've been a proactive and friendly European nation for most of our history. We should be again. As to services, the Scottish NHS is apparently the best performing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-38853700 Sure, it could be better but it's pertinent to reply to Labour and Tory when they complain about ScotGov 'mismanagment', 'if you could do better then why aren't you in Wales and England?'. Ditto for transport and education. Equally we could look to small similar nations such as Denmark and Finland and see how better managed all these services are there. 6 years ago. That isn't the case any longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) Has he not noticed that the bulk of the comments decrying the sight of a Muslim family observing their religion inside Bute House are coming from the usual folk with Union Flags, Rangers crests etc in their bios? I mean, it's the same 'SNPbad' lot every single time it's something SNP-related, but it's one thing to claim Scotland only puts up a veneer of being a tolerant nation, another thing to sleekitly hint at that when its people who are invariably your own voters you are implying are racist, intolerant fuckwits. I know Murdo is a moron, but surely he can see the enormous self-own here? Edited March 30 by Boo Khaki 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the "trans and gay community wouldn't be welcome in his mosque" card. While they actively continue to back a party that went through the courts to block trans rights and would have kept same sex marriage illegal forever if they could have got away with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're quick to preach about gay and trans rights when they think they're getting some kind of "win" over the SNP, but are equally as quick to vote for the party that has historically stood in the way of the rights of these very people. Absolute scum of the earth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
