She was trying to humanise herself , which is hard to do when you are her . 1/10 for acting skills Tbf to her she's recently lost her job, her "husband" and her camper van was knicked.

Aye but she’s writing her memoirs , which is quite a challenge as she can’t seem to recall much ! But getting paid a healthy whack and using a tax loophole . How incredibly Toryish of her .

He played no part in the pandemic response. The SG didn't waste their time trying to deal with him. Michael Gove was doing his job. He basically sat with his thumb up his arse in his ivory tower and daydreamed of the halycon, pre-devolution days of yore. I would be surprised if Alister Jack is universally recognised in his own house, monumental human dildo that he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 hour ago, i wish jj was my dad said: My comment was probably too broad brush but the point is that the loudest noises made at the time were as much about not blindly following instructions which for good or ill were intended to keep the population safe. Most of the noise was IMO and as i recall driven by an unhealthy agenda rather than being made out of concern for the wellbeing of the population. That's not to say it was or is universal. I think that there are many valid criticisms that can be pitched at governments across the world, including Scotland and the UK, and some really decent points being made on this thread when you manage to get past the bollocks and links being posted to rather dubious sources. Yea, agree. It was a mental time and as restrictions were easing it became even more mental. Can’t remember exactly when it was but was travelling back from England by train. Mask-wearing wasn’t compulsory but advised. Guy comes over the PA as we crossed the border to tell us to put our masks on as it was compulsory ! And politicians wonder why they get criticised ? Whole carriage just laughed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing you do Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 3 hours ago, pablo said: Is that not just the nature of all politics? Their primary concern is re-election. That's why business drives long term plans on things like carbon reduction. Not sure it's a particularly UK/Scottish phenomenon. It isnt a UK/Scotland phenomenon, happens everywhere. But I do think its the root cause of most of the problems as UK needs longer term thinking after a decision like Brexit. And even the unionist Scots on here wouldve been expecting some kind of long term strategy for improving devolution after the No vote. The fact both these hugely important decisions had no follow up is a disgrace, whichever way you voted in both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, although The Scotland Act 2016 did create more powers over tax for example. I do believe the Nats could have done more though. Where we are sitting now, I think it’s inconceivable to talk of Indy. The Nats can’t abandon it obviously but may need to fight with willing partners after the next SE to secure a better deal going forward. I say that because I believe there will be no majority.
