I'm unaware of her alleged negligence. She's still an intelligent woman regardless of her shortcomings. She's also a fool! A paradox but then again she's human.

Evidence, pls.

She's a lawyer. I'm sure her qualifications are better than you or I! Don't let your prejudice get in your way!

If we are not lawyers then that's hardly a surprise.

Roxy doesn't debate. He just has a drink then comes on here and spouts nonsense. 

 

When he isn't inventing workmates from every corner of the world that ALL support his independence at all costs view. 😂 

 

He doesn't even bother turning up to the marches. He wants independence but can't be arsed doing anything about it. 😂

I'm just blown away at the black hole that has been created by the Snp Greens. They have been a stain on our country. Despicable betrayal of our once long ago great reputation.

You're either confusing me with someone else or you haven't read or understood any of my previous posts on this or other threads

I want an independent Scotland

The SNP do not. They are a wholly devolutionist party now

However they are registered as a political party, in Scotland, with the Electoral Commission

The same cannot be said of the "Scottish" Labour Party. They are no more than an accounting unit of the Labour party

 

 

A failed lawyer

There was (allegedly) some professional negligence involved which saw her quickly leave the legal profession and enter professional politics

Another who wants independence but has never voted SNP ?

OK then

Well spent time and money wisely and be focused on the day job,  but its as though they wanted everything to fail, just so they could blame WM  and convince the electorate that all will be better under Indy, but nobody was fooled.

 

As for labour they will be a one hit wonder, and Penny Mordaunt will be in afterwards,  labour should be looking further after that

 

But this labour old tories

Appreciate the response but it's a word salad. 

 

What could the SNP have done to maximise Devo? 

 

The answer is nothing different policy wise. 

 

They're pishing about with pocket money and no ability to change any of the fundamental structural issues which are preventing the growth and inward investment you talk of.

 

Same for whoever comes next. 

 

The mesmerising bit is that still today in 2024 there's Scottish people who think this is a great thing and that the economic terrorists in Westminster actually have Scotlands interests at heart.

Its difficult to not agree.

Both need a bloodied nose from the electorate.

The greens need to remember that their vote comes mostly as a 2nd choice.

From people who I believe want environmental stuff front and centre.

Instead......

 

Back on track please .

Economic terrorism a bit strong but like you I find it bewildering the obvious signs of decline are favoured over the opportunity of independence and seats at top tables.

This post very sadly, sums up the division that has been sewn, by the Independence movement. They view politics solely as a vehicle for Independence, instead of governing for all  of the people of Scotland. Its irrelevant to them, how Scotland performs as a nation for all of the people. 

 

Where now for the Yes campaign, what about asking the question instead of - how the Snp Greens coalition will deliver on the bread and butter of fixing shattered subdued  Scotland.

 

I'd put the Yes campaign in the bin for now, and set about repairing the mess that Scotland has become under the Yes campaign. 

 

 

 

Regards your last paragraph, I think that's what the electorate are doing by shifting from SNP to labour.

TBH I don’t think they have England’s interests at heart either.  They’re only interested in further lining the pockets of the very wealthy.  They also seem to have a particular contempt for the working-class and lower-middle class that keep voting them in.

The last 15 years have been catastrophic for this country (U.K.-wide) it’s like we’re all living in the soap opera of the Tory Party.

Election year this year so all change or same old. 

Labour don't have a chance in Scotland or Wales so left with broken promises and a complete disregard for people who vote for them in. 

 

Sturgeon sails off into the sunset. Husband gets jailed for 18 months. 

A new merry a go round ensures. 

The real danger is the infiltration of migrants into island life. 

The British/ Christian overacceptance of welcoming all faiths into society when we all know reading history what happens. 

 

War is coming

We have had it too good for too long. Wonder what will ignite the torch paper in the coming years

First you make an assumption about which political party I support

When I point out to you that nothing I have posted justifies your assumption...

I have voted SNP in the past, was a former member and activist but saw the writing on the wall when Sturgeon failed to take advantage of the 2016 Brexit referendum result to push the case for independence

Listened to this Dr Alf Baird chappie on Radio Scotland this morning which led me to the article below - sounds like he has an axe to grind but interesting nonetheless. Presume he's had run in's with the SNP?

 

https://scottishleftreview.scot/scottish-ferries-catastrophe/

 

Alf Baird was, prior to his retirement in 2016, Professor of Maritime Business and Director of the Maritime Research Group at Edinburgh Napier University. He has a PhD in Strategic Management in Global Shipping. His specialist area of research and teaching is strategic management in maritime transport. His research activities encompass most of the world’s main shipping markets in Europe, Asia, Mid-East and North and Latin America, and Australasia. He has published more than 200 research articles and delivered over 150 conference papers.

 

He is also interesting when writing on the constitution...

I'd rather we had an FM who based their outlook on intellect and utilitarianism, actually. 

I care little for either religion and would prefer a secular FM, but I do have concerns about Forbes's views on abortion (equated to slavery under that branch of Christianity) at a time when we need to protect women's bodily autonomy and establish safe buffer zones around abortion clinics. Humza has already backed this.

In fairness, I do note that her stance is to follow the majority and direction of travel and not bring her religion into her politics, which addresses some fears but raises others. Despite those concerns I still believe she would be a better FM, however that red flag still exists. 

 


The only "wonder" here is wonderment at your latest attempt to insinuate something, in your usual snide manner. 

 

Laughable comments on Forbes while completely ignoring Humza's inability to separate his religious beliefs from his job.

I'll leave you to wallow in your ignorance.

It's the both of them setting targets, never near making them but they don't bad an eyelid or resign.

 

 

Snouts in the trough and it will take decades for any political party to fix the mess they are leaving.

 

They are destroying Scotland instead of making it better, and it seems deliberate.

I'll admit my ignorance. I can see he is out of his depth as FM but how has he been unable to separate his religious beliefs from his job?

I was joking about the Orange Walk as that moronic bunch are staunch unionists and believe in the union like you.

It bi's the Irony that everyone was telling the SNP to divorce from the Toxic Greens. Bur the Greens to vote on doing a midnight flit while the Nats are in the pub trying to see how this sleeze can be swept unter the carpet. But it is just funny that the greens don't now want tarnished with the same brush

Amazing how many nationalists have turned against the SNP and Sturgeon / Yousaf. After backing them to the hilt with their money and time. Am sure they won't make that mistake again.

I have said many times I would prefer independence but I can't and won't vote for something without some form of detail. 

 

I do fully appreciate it's almost impossible to provide what I want. As such I am not prepared to risk the good lifestyle myself and family enjoy.

Actually this is an excellent post but doesnt auger with their view that Westminster is ruining scotland and mainly scotland.  Much better to say Scotland is suffering far more than England. I also recall and people correct me if im wrong the SNP were doing actually not too bad when they formed the initital Scot Govt in the mid 2000s but then it went pear shape after the Indy vote and even worse with their toxic coalition with the Greens.

Much the say reasons i wont. Plus  i feel we are not too similar to English and Welsh and Northern Irish. They are like cousins.
