Because the Tories do wrong it appears to some, to make it alright for our Government to do wrong. The Scottish Government has become as bad as Westminster. Of ****ing course it's relevant!

Whether you or anyone accepts it she’s been exonerated I’m afraid. Independence is just around the corner, get used to it. A typical patronising "Calm yourself"! I find it surprising that a gentleman of your intelligence can interpret "Serious Flaws" to being exonerated. She has been judged by an adviser to the Scottish Government, who pay his wages, the Scottish Government headed by The First Minister.

Politics is a dirty business, I had hoped we were better in this country than that but it’s nowhere near as good as it should be. We can only hope that after independence we get a higher standard of government, all bets are off. It’s the only way to get rid of Sturgeon and the SNP. Apologies for the patronising post, I had just watched our worst result in living memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is just the ones I thought of. There are a lot more than that. And if you pause to consider the utter, sheer waste of millions of pounds that the SNP leadership don't appear to consider as relevant. (Because they know that the majority of supporters of Scottish Independence will just automatically accept their narrative without question) If you think Scotland is capable of Indepence, then why aren't you paying attention to the facts of what happens in Scotland and start from there?

That was indeed my point - that the SNP have rounded on each other but still somehow nobody has done anything wrong and everything is swept under the metaphorical carpet. It doesn't bode well for an independent Scotland. The Tories did what they did as they clearly saw what was going to happen and decided to be the party that would set themselves up to point the finger at least, whereas Labour, Greens Libdems and randoms just mildly sat by doing not very much at all.
