Just a quick note to let you know I have an analysis piece at The National about yesterday's two local by-elections in Glasgow, both of which produced pretty spectacular wins for the SNP. The article is accompanied by a photo of John Swinney in a novelty hat, so please do brace yourselves. You can read it HERE.
What more good news. Not sure if we can cope.
ReplyDeleteVery droll!
DeleteSection 30 any day now! Tick-tock!
DeleteZzzzzzzzzz
DeleteNot even Swinney is mentioning the old gold standard sec 30 snake oil they used to sell to the faithful.
DeleteJohn Swinney has done well.
ReplyDeleteHe's got a plum seat on Glasgow city council? Good on him. Who's taking over, back at Bute House? Not Kate, surely, isn't she still cancelled?
DeleteMoaning about people being "cancelled" in 2025
DeleteJohn Swinney has done wellfor the British state.
DeleteReform did THAT differently in two by-elections in the same city on the same day? That's… odd.
ReplyDeleteWere there sex scandal rumours about the candidate in Southside or something? A tactic which might be especially effective against them, as their candidates are all nameless randos and their voters are used to believing conspiracy theories.
There's a creepy looking councillor who looks like he needs a counsellor, but I'm saying nothing.
DeleteSouthside is a bit different from other parts of Glasgow - the Greens do well here in a way they don’t in the part of Glasgow I grew up in, which borders this part of the Southside - I hope the reform vote stays low here.
DeleteWhich anon 741you keep going.
ReplyDeleteBy-election after by-election shows that Chris McEleny is a mad dog who needs taming.
ReplyDeleteGood hat! That must be the first time John Swinney has been vaguely interesting since he was resurrected. Or before he was resurrected.
ReplyDeleteHe's getting in touch with his inner tranny.
DeleteWhy the interest ?
DeleteI have a feeling that 'I was the deputy leader of a political party but I didn't notice anything because I had my eyes on the Moon and ear-plugs in' might be the next tedious saga.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is mildly less repulsive than 'I was his wife, and the leader of a political party but I didn't notice anything because I had my eyes on the Moon and ear-plugs in'
DeleteSturgeon Swinney and Beattie who know nothing about the money is a silly statement. Beattie may be a daftie but Sturgeon and Swinney no chance.
DeleteDoes anyone on this even remotely want Scottish Independence, from what I see it is just a pile of sniping at each other. Until we actually unite we are making it impossible for OURSELVES to make Scotland a country again and not one controlled by a foreign robber, Republic of Ireland got it right so why can’t the Scots. I get that no one will ever agree on everything, but for F**k sake let’s get our bloody act together, we are playing in to the hands of Westminster’s divide and conquer and at this very moment with Tory and now ToryLabour razor cuts including ramping up their theft of even more of our natural resources really we need to get it together for our Independence just like every other normal country!!!
ReplyDeleteOh thank God. A sensible comment amid the dross! Yes independence nothing less. Park the pettiness, eye on the prize!
Delete7.44AM
DeleteWhat 'prize'?
Independence is not a 'prize' to be won like you would in a game of bingo.
Anon at 8.41 ... but it is, it is the ultimate prize.
DeleteYou can have your eyes on the prize all you like - but unless you make a move to get there.
DeleteAnd I might have a picture of Macchu Picchu on my screen saver, but..
Machu picchu indeed.
DeleteWhen independence is the unattainable goal, the mystical guiding star, and the vital pressing thing we need immediately but can’t be bothered lifting a finger to do a damn thing about, is it any surprise the party’s sagging?
Issue is when a lot of people tend to say: We all need to unite. They don't mean that all sides of the Yes movement should get in a room together, hash out differences and agree on a united strategy... they mean that everyone needs to unite behind the SNP (despite the fact most of us were previously and that led nowhere).
DeleteProbably joined in 2014 and left the snp after the referendum
Delete"We all need to unite. They don't mean that all sides of the Yes movement should get in a room together, hash out differences and agree on a united strategy"
DeleteWell I DO mean that! And as for the sarky comment about looking isn't doing, well duh! Self determination a human right rather than a prize, but eyes on the human right doesn't really cut it as a phrase.
Maybe instead of parsing well kent phrases, folk could actually try doing their bit to bring independence closer. Just a thought!
To follow on from my last statement….THIS IS NOT A JOKE…..UNITE WE CONQUER…….DIVIDE NOTHING CHANGES…..and by f**k don’t the unionists just know it!!!
ReplyDelete"Unite!" ... but only on your terms. Eh, pal?
DeleteI think it’s more on the general terms. Most folk can unite on what they agree on broadly within the movement - not everyone - but most and we need to build on that. In 2014 you had groups that disagreed on plenty working together for independence without creating creating conspiracy theories and lies about each other which would have only strengthened the unionist chances. I don’t think we’ll
Deleteever return to that degree of discipline - but we can as a movement distance ourselves from the most toxic voices and just get on with it. Wings Over Scotland for example he’s too damaged by hate and bitterness to ever do anything for independence again - so we distance ourselves and move forward. Within the SNP you have a good mix and new faces coming in. I hope Forbes pushes for the A9 to be prioritised but also hope we push forward with progressive policies as well, so we don’t alienate younger voters.
Unite behind the false flag!
DeleteIfS at 9.25.
DeleteNo, just another one of the half million who have given up on you.
Delete9.46am must dream about Ifs. Must see ifs everywhere he goes. By the way it’s not me at 9.25am or 10.11am.
DeleteAnon at 9.14. Good post. Considering what has gone on it’s amazing that SNP still has the level of support it does. It shows the passion people have for Indy. The truly nasty divisive brigade on here are mostly WOS mouth frothers. Some of them are long term unionist trolls. Some are nominally Indy supporters but live in a bubble of ignorance and stupidity. They are in overdrive right now because they have all been exposed as liars and fantasists by the recent announcements about NS. Nothing any of them say can be believed. I have commented in the past about the unintentional benefit of WOS. It is a magnet for the elements I want nowhere near the Indy movement. Long may it continue. Now, pressure on our MSPs and MPs. Holyrood 2026 is pivotal. If we don’t get a majority we are screwed for at least the next two parliamentary terms and the unionist parties will devote a lot of time to dismantling Indy. They have directly told us they intend doing so, and the tories had started the process with the Internal Markets Act and the award of direct funding in areas where power is supposedly devolved. I am not going to respond to the usual suspects. It’s not worth the effort.
DeleteSwinney says nothing will happen on independence for the next ) years. That will be 16 years in total. If you think you are supporting an independence leader then you are easily scammed.
DeleteI think it will be a big mistake if SNP branches choose the failed and rejected ex-MPs for their constituency candidates - or even put them high on the List.
ReplyDeleteThey failed to get elected or re-elected last General Election, why think they're good enough to be elected for our own far more important parliament?
The SNP should make sure they have decent charismatic candidates.
"The SNP should make sure they have decent charismatic candidates."
DeleteWho might they be?
More importantly, why?
So you need to be chairman and dynamo in this business. You need to be up there leaning into the socials if your gonna make a mark. Look at Pam Roddie!
DeleteWe’re a Nicola down. Quick, we need a new one!
DeleteCharismatic, attention craving, control freak wanted for maximum media exposure. Attention to detail not required, must be good at keeping schtum in court. Experience with intelligence services a plus but not vital, on the job training can be supplied. Solid annual salary and unrestricted perks.
Which mad drivel all has nothing to do with my comment.
DeleteC’mon indyref2, you’re not new to the internet. You know how it works.
DeleteYeah. Whack jobs at both extremes. Fantasy channel stuff!
DeleteAye right - there’s plenty of decent . It was down to the performance of the individual MPs, there were as you well know, much bigger factors at play. It’ll be good to get some of the decent ones into Holyrood to shake things up.
DeleteAnon at 10.14. Was that funny in your head? It’s pish on paper. Try harder. Go and practice on WOS. You fit in well there. You really are an arsehole, but I’m not the first to tell you that, here or elsewhere.
DeleteSNP are a very resilient Party and, now that Branchform has terminated, I would expect their electoral performances to further improve.
ReplyDeleteAs for those Wingnuts/Albaists salivating at the thought of a Murrell Trial - yeah that MIGHT happen, but I would humbly suggest that a low-level, non-custodial plea bargain and no trial at all, might be the more logical outcome.
Bit rainy here today.
Wrap up well when you walk the dog.
Out of curiosity why do you think the full details of the charges on the petition against Peter Murrell are not in the public domain?
DeleteMurrell was SNP Chief executive and is Sturgeon’s husband but you claim “Branchform has terminated” as Murrell attends court. Trumpian style lies.
DeleteThe truth is you want Murrell to plead guilty so that the truth is hidden and Sturgeon is not called to court.
You should remember that the police did not “clear Sturgeon “ it was COPFS a unionist organisation headed by the unionist Dorothy Bain appointed by Sturgeon.
Meanwhile Swinney , who Bain reports to, has declared nothing will happen on Scottish independence for the next 6 years at least. Well done you and all the others like you - sure you are not a unionist because if you are not you are pretty stupid.
Strange mindset anon 1120 or IFS. If COPFS was wholly nationalist and the ex FM was declared innocent and no charges are to be brought you would say she is still a unionist plant. You are just a bigoted and misogynistic idiot. I would have thought any true independence supporter would be pleased for Nicola. As for her Ex we can decide at a later date.
Delete11.55am
DeleteYou think wrong. You are full of abuse and errors. Murrell is not her ex husband unless you can tell me the date their divorce papers came through.
Anon at 11.20. You are talking absolute rubbish. You lied about N S. Why would anyone believe a word you say? You are the unionist.
Delete3.36pm Swinney says nothing will happen on independence for the next 6 years. That will be 16 years in total but you say I am the unionist - you are a clueless idiot.
DeleteSalmond suggested he'd aim for 5 years.
Delete5.32am Go to your bed. Staying up hallucinating on drink and drugs is a poor lifestyle.
DeleteLol.
ReplyDeleteWhat a load of verbose pish you scribble, pal.
Don't be modest, Dave. Not since the dark days of Scottish Skier's residency on here have I seen such a tsunami of pish emanate from one deluded poster as it does from your good self.
DeleteCome to think of it, Skier never told us his real name either. Is it possible? Could you be...? Tell me, Dave, do you have a French wife, an Irish passport, a career spanning 57 areas of expertise and a fascination with the provision of unisex toilets in the Borders area? It's all becoming much clearer now - happy lavvie inspecting.😂
Let me get this right, Dummy -
DeleteYOU - an ANON individual, cowering behind SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME when spouting utter shite about the person actually using HIS OWN TRUE IDENTITY to post on here - is seriously questioning that other person's bona fides???
Get yerself to f#ck, you snivelling wee piece of shit.
David Francis aka Anon at 12.58. You are one of the lying arseholes that accused N S of criminal acts. Where is your retraction and apology? No? GTF.
DeleteOnce again you cretin, I've never mentioned NS in any of my posts so I won't be apologising for your illiteracy. I'm only here to wind up the pompous ass that is Dave Francis (how do any of us know that's his real name- we only have his word for it). It does the site good to expose his vituperative rants against fellow posters as it demonstrates a sensitive soul, unable to take a gentle teasing while he fulminates and swears against his critics. I'm providing a public service.😁
DeleteThere is a poster who fires of his demands all over the place for people to retract and apologise to Sturgeon.
DeleteShe is a crook and works for the British. She even said herself she is British. No apology will he forthcoming. You should be apologising for supporting her and her husband.
Yes I know. He says it to everybody who posts anonymously and whose opinion he doesn't like. Rather ironic that he claims to know who all these anons are and what they have said when he posts as an Anon himself! Not the brightest spark on the blog.
DeleteTo be fair to Skier, along with the usual intimate details he did actually occasionally mention his real name. It's Ross something.
DeleteAnon at 11:13
ReplyDeleteI presume that the prosecution would have used a kind of 'standard' charge of embezzlement during the Court Proceeding.
Anything more detailed would presumably have been reported by any journalists present.
There is no requirement, as far as I know, to publicise the exact details of any indictment/charge against an invividual, at this stage.
It was a petition hearing (Edinburgh Sheriff Court) which was private - presumably that means no journalists, and no access to court records at that stage.
DeleteThat was me.
DeleteAh......fair enough.
DeleteNo reporters and only a brief statement afterwards.
Makes sense.
Someone wank me off?
ReplyDeleteThey'd need an electron microscope.
DeleteThe watershed is after 9pm.
Delete1.59pm is that you again Declan?
DeleteGood episode of Scotland Speaks today.
ReplyDeleteI see the soup and sandwich brigade are in again. I wish they'd sod off.
ReplyDeleteWTF does that mean?
DeleteOld folk. Boomers as that ridiculous word goes. Folk with huge pensions always in the cafe for their - soup and sandwich.
DeleteI asked my wife, the fount of all knowledge.
3.18pm you are an ageist bigot.
DeleteIs there a herbal tea or something similar, which can be administered to all the irrelevant, impotent, poor, wee Wingnut and Albaist Moon-Howler-Conspiracy-Theory Dross, whose sanity ( If any still remains ) seems to have disappeared down the nearest drain, because Nicola Sturgeon has walked away INNOCENT AND FREE after the longest Police investigation into any Political Party on these islands in living memory?
ReplyDeleteI seriously worry for those idiots, as they fling more and more utterly ridiculous 'reasons' not to accept that the Police Scotland-run Operation Branchform HAS NOW FINISHED (as the Police themselves have confirmed) without ANY criminal wrongdoing on Sturgeon's part being found.
The Yes Movement and Scotland in general is now moving on from this and even the heavily Yoon-Biased MSM will also do so, because their MAIN Target has gone.
My guess is, though, that those aforementioned Wingnuts/Albaists will STILL be wittering-on about this on Wings and on here, long after it has fallen off the radar for everyone else.
It will eat away at them, especially Campbell, who I fully expect to have another one of his wee temper tantrums and encourage Yessers to either not vote ever again, or cast their ballots for Reform UK to 'cleanse' Scotland.
So far has that Cretin dived down the rabbit-hole now.
Satisfying, though, to realise just how completely insignificant that clique really is.
No matter how much they howl, they - just like the Alba Party itself ( unless it dramatically changes) - will just be ignored by almost all Scots.
To be pitied, as well as scorned.
The reverend shall ignore your insinuations. He is quite upset at the moment.
DeleteAbsolutely Dave! They are completely insignificant and ignored by almost all Scots. Thank goodness we have your good self to spend your every waking hour telling us this. Some people are actually obsessed about Wings and Alba - nobody could say that about you after your umpteenth comment on the subject.🤫
DeleteI am deeply wounded by your completely unfounded allegations 😁
DeleteNicola Sturgeon might be innocent, but David Francis is clearly a Sturgeon worshipper. This, of course, clearly indicates he’s a rather sad individual.
DeleteWrong.
DeleteI simply admire her as one of the best two FM's in my lifetime.
I also admire her resilience in dealing with Demented Clowns like you.
You’re the biggest 🤡 on here Dave Francis!
DeleteStop posting 'selfies', pal.
DeleteTa.
So D Francis admires N Sturgeon!
DeleteOh dear!!
Not an easy thing to do Dave, but maybe the time has come for you to seek help.
No might be. She is innocent. I think she will be a Good 1st President of the Republic of Scotland.
ReplyDeleteShe would also make an excellent addition to the House of Lords as Dame Satrap of McQuisling of that ilk.
DeleteLow life.ifs again?
Delete- that lassie was totally innocent, this was a travesty of a shanghai kangaroo lynch law drumhead mass court, so it is.
ReplyDeletePeter never even let her use the laptop.
And it just goes to show that the system works and we can always find justice in this land from all the people you gave jobs to.
Anon at 7:14
ReplyDeleteTell me something........bearing in mind the absolute bedrock and foundation of any proper Legal System anywhere in the World is 'Innocent until PROVEN Guilty'..........do you accept that Sturgeon is legitimately innocent?
Francis. Did you take that question to Sturgeon when she continually on national TV (including Covid briefings) said that Salmond was guilty even though a jury listened to the evidence and acquitted him. You didn’t did you because you are a sychophant.
DeleteSturgeon on the other hand got COPFS to tell the Police to stop. Still no info on what the Police found out about Sturgeon/Beattie and passed on to COPFS. A trial by jury would have been the just way but the Sturgeon appointed Lord Advocate returned the favour as a fellow unionist.
Sturgeon/Beattie signed off the accounts that long standing SNP auditors declined to continue having a professional arrangement with the SNP. After a lengthy search new auditors qualified the accounts by saying documentation relating to donations was missing.
David Francis says “absolute bedrock and foundation of any proper legal system” - that’s not Scotland. When the person in charge of prosecutions, the Lord Advocate , is also a member of the Scottish Government a clear conflict of interest arises. Especially when the Police are investigating a member of the same government as the Lord Advocate, never mind the person who appointed the Lord Advocate.
DeleteSo David Francis your question falls at the first hurdle.
David Francis has gone to bed. He doesn’t like anyone asking him inconvenient questions that he cannot answer. He needs time to contact SNP HQ. Oops probably closed now for the weekend.
DeleteI think his massive ego has taken a bit of a battering today and he couldn't cope with it. It's hilarious to watch him lash out in all directions as he realises people are laughing at his nonsense.
DeleteQ: If John Swinney is right when he says that it looks like the SNP are the victims if any embezzlement charges lead to a prosecution... why didn't the SNP themselves refer the matter to the police in the first place?
ReplyDeleteHow would you know if someone took a ballpoint pen from the office or a tenner from the till unless you were told or you were caught in the act. Try and use the little brain you have. Oops someone’s nicked it!
Delete8.34pm the money was ring fenced in the SNP accounts then the following year it wasn’t there. So you are posting nonsense that comes from being stupid and ill informed. The question you should be asking is why did people like Swinney and Sturgeon ignore the situation and not ask any questions. A luxury motorhome is hardly a pen.
DeleteHopefully the polis release the motorhome before the HR election, and the SNP can use it as a battle bus. That’s what it was meant to be used for initially anyway, after all.
Delete8.52pm nobody uses a luxury motorhome for campaigning. The SNP always lease a much larger bus for a short period of time. The SNP was so short of funds that Murrell had to loan £95k to the SNP yet there was an unused luxury motorhome sitting on Murrells mother’s driveway for years doing nothing that they could have sold to raise money.
DeleteIf random members of the public suspected something was up and that lead to the police investigation it seems unlikely that no one within the internal workings of the Party itself didn't suspect anything.
DeletePoor ifs. The hatred for Nicola Sturgeon is palpable. The mysogenist tendencies coming to the fore. It is clear many on here are just pretend independence supporters for many years. She is better than them 10x over. Pleased for her family and friends.
DeletePleased for her husband?
Delete10.14pm the same arsehole who cannot spell misogynist or misogyny correctly.
DeleteI've corrected him on this before. He went ballistic! Pity he didn't take notice as he's still doing it.
Delete11.15pm In Sturgeon’s and David Francis types world Murrell has been cancelled and he no longer exists. He was SNP Chief Exec for over 20 years but is now invisible to these people. One minute they refer to him as Peter now he is cancelled except bizarrely by Sturgeon’s sister who specialises in reading tea leaves etc. pity she never let him know what was coming down the line for him.
DeleteStill no answer to my straightforward question, from any of the numerous Anons on here.
ReplyDeleteSad wee freaks.
I'll answer. No, just like she didn't accept that Salmond was innocent and his case was actually put to a judge and jury.
DeleteEh?
DeleteDid you say that Salmond was innocent BEFORE he went to trial?
Francis your question has been answered above where it was originally posed.
DeleteDave,eh? I don't know what you're trying to say.
DeleteAnon@9:14 He knows it's been answered and has no counterargument so he just ignores it and pretends he hasn't seen it just like his heroine Nicola. Pathetic.
DeletePoor ifs. Where to go with the mysogeny?
Delete9.54pm everyone knows that it is very easy not to see a £100k luxury jaguar sitting on your driveway or a £100k luxury motorhome sitting on your mother in laws driveway. This demonstrates Nicola’s full focus on independence 24/7.
Delete10.15pm if you want a wee smidgeon of credibility to be linked to your assertion try spelling misogyny correctly.
DeleteJust got word that Sturgeon got rapturous applause and a standing ovation at her appearance tonight in an Edinburgh Club.
ReplyDeleteNice.
You really are a bit of a saddo Francis.
DeleteReally?
DeleteThat also apply to the audience in the Club?
Gay pride club was it?
DeleteComedy Club
DeleteI believe you were the Star Turn.............
So you agree Sturgeon is a clown who is now laughed at. The real clowns, however, the people who thought she would deliver independence. That’s you Francis.
DeleteNo, Dummy.
DeleteThe folk in that Club were spot on with their applause.
When Sturgeon stood down as FM, she was still the most popular politician in Scotland - and, now that the Branchform Shadow has been lifted from her, I would bet her popularity will get back to similar heights, as a private and political figure, until the next election.
She was a formidable personality and will be again - and a personality which might well still benefit both the SNP and wider Yes Movement.
Time will tell, but I doubt your crap 'views' will play much of a part.
David Francis. plenty people still thought Hitler was brilliant even as Berlin was in ruins and the Russians were murdering and raping their way through Germany.
DeletePlenty people in Russia today still think Stalin was brilliant even though he murdered millions of his own citizens.
There is no accounting for taste and human stupidity.
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteDoes Salmond compare to Hitler and Stalin too???
DeleteOr is he an untouchable wee icon to you?
Dave, did they tell you that her fat 'friend' was wearing a t-shirt saying 'you saw nothing'? Sounds like they're taking the piss to me.
DeleteRidiculous post from Francis at 9:28. Making a complete fool of himself with his continued praise of Sturgeon.
DeleteWhat a sad individual!
Yep.
DeleteAnd yes they might have been ripping the pish out of a certain wee coterie of people who hate her guts..
Good on them for doing so.
Anon at 9:44 -
DeleteTriggered much, pal???
Shame.
David Francis I never compared Sturgeon to Hitler or Stalin. The point I was making seems to be beyond your comprehension. In Sturgeon’s defence I am not aware she has killed anyone so to say what you posted is really daft. Read it again and think. It’s about humans ability to admire someone even though the evidence suggests otherwise. If you still can’t understand I suggest you use that delete function once again.
DeleteI also advise you to use the delete button more often regarding your posts as a lot of them paint a very negative picture of your character.
He's getting more extreme the more he is challenged on the nonsense he posts. No doubt he'll soon revert to his 'anonymous' persona to back himself up and tell us all how insightful he is. The guy is an absolute clown.
DeleteGarbage
DeleteYou deliberately referenced Hitler and Stalin in response to a discussion purely about Sturgeon.
The mere fact that you even did that, indicates just what a f#cking SLUG you really are.
Now..........take your demented ramblings and 'advice' somewhere else.
I will not lower myself to converse with Slime like you, any further.
Sadly, David just cannot grasp the point I was making. It’s about the people who worship politicians. Not the politicians themselves. Not the brightest spark is the SNPs David Francis.
DeleteLook at all the people who still worship Boris Johnston despite all the evidence that he should be hated by all and sundry due to his crass, empathy free handling of Covid. Poor David is inflicted with such a worship of Sturgeon that he cannot even think clearly.
Dave's standard response when he has lost the argument is to ignore the poster in future (see above about Sturgeon's view on Salmond's innocence). He's not only a fool but a coward, albeit a long-winded one.
DeleteIt's not worth getting so worked up about, guys
Delete1.26am who or what is not worth getting worked up about?
DeleteAnon at 9.52. We know the purpose of your reference . The back pedalling is pathetic, but then again, it is you so no surprise. You are one of the liar brigade.
DeleteAnd at 9.06. Is it a problem for you if it was a “gay” club, whatever that means. We know what you are.
DeleteNicola Sturgeon’s husband attended court in Edinburgh where he was formally charged with embezzlement, made no plea, and was released on bail.
ReplyDeleteSome posters on SGP will need regular reminding of this fact. especially the anon who continually posted it was all over and there would be NO prosecutions. Plenty egg on this anon’s face.
What I'd like to know is ... why do people no longer use the word "of" after the word "plenty"?
DeleteNot one anon or David Francis has anything to say about it will now be a minimum of 16 years of the SNP doing NOTHING about Scottish independence even though independence has polled at 50% for a long time now. These people actually claim to be independence supporters. It must be in a second life when they rise again from the dead because it won't be any time soon.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to step in and do better.
DeleteI bet Nicola and Val didn’t tell this joke at the Comedy Club.
ReplyDeleteAfter a thorough investigation the Police concluded that Sturgeon and McDermid spent their share of the loot on pies and cakes and therefore successfully disposed of the incriminating evidence. No further action will be taken by the Police.
What age are you ? 7? It seems so many mysoginists, homophobes, are raging. I must admit it gives me a glow to my heart. ❤️
DeleteIs David Francis really Davina Francis?
DeleteGod, there's so much barely concealed misogynistic hatred in a lot of today's posts. Quite worrying, really.
ReplyDeleteIs David Francis a woman.
DeleteTalking about Nicola Sturgeon's future - on my recent travels and also attending my local SNP Meetings, it is very obvious that the younger generations of SNP Members and wider Yessers STILL consider Sturgeon as their favoured political figure.
ReplyDeleteThey admire the steadying influence of Swinney, but their favourite, by far, is still her.
I can see Sturgeon being very useful to both the Party and Wider Movement in respect of our young people, because she still has the cut-through that other politicians seem to lack with that cohort - and that cohort is ESSENTIAL to both entities
She is also very good in the Media World of chat shows etc......and that is another area she would be an asset to us.
Compared to the Tenth Rate Dross available from Alba, she would be a far, far better bet.
Embarrassing stuff from Francis!
DeleteFor pity’s sake man pack it in and stop making a complete fool of yourself!
Your continued praise of Sturgeon beggers belief!
Is David Francis the ones who's been posting that John Swinney is settling into the role/showing sureness-of-touch/made a great speech at conference on multiple blog posts?
DeleteWell, no. That's obviously meant as a joke.
Delete11.09pm no.
DeleteDavid Francis is the one who posted that about Humza Yousaf. Anyone remember him?
Wee nightcap before retiring -
ReplyDeleteAs even 'BBC Shortbread' reminded us only last week - "Sturgeon still remains the Biggest Name in Scottish Politics".
That also remains the case Internationally.
Irrespective of what a few complete nonentities on here might 'think', Sturgeon is still an EXTREMELY useful asset for both the SNP and wider Yes Movement.
I fully anticipate that fact being utilised in the next 12 months or so - and will happily sit back and watch the 'usual suspects' on SGP and elsewhere being more and more sidelined and ignored, as the worthless wastes of space they really are.
Nite, folks.
I think you've had one too many wee nightcaps today. Sober up ffs!!!
DeleteFrancis, you need to seriously consider seeking help!
DeleteSo when Sturgeon repeatedly said vote SNP for independence she really meant vote SNP to make me famous.
DeleteSturgeon is an asset alright David but for the British state.
Nicola Sturgeon - what a roaster - one minute she is like the female version of Manuel from Barcelona in Fawlty Towers “ I know nothing” next minute she can recall enough to write a book of memoirs. Will she recall in her book seeing the luxury Jaguar car or the luxury motor home sitting in driveways? If so, did she think the SNP ( himself) must be paying him too much dosh.
DeleteNatalie McGarry SNP MP got a 20 months jail sentence in 2022 for embezzling £25,000 of yes money. £600,000 has gone missing this time and the Leader of the Party at the time and the Treasurer at the time are in the clear. No criminal responsibility perhaps, but they still carry a responsibility due to the positions held and their signing off the accounts.
DeleteIf Murrell pleads guilty or is found guilty and gets a much lighter sentence eg suspended sentence then a comparison with the McGarry sentence will raise a number of questions.
The liars are out in force today. Zzzzzzzzzz
DeleteZ for zombie.
DeleteDavid Francis brightens up any blog with his comments but in the same way a bin fire does.
ReplyDeleteIt’s interesting to get a broader picture of the liar brigade. Misogyny, homophobia and racism are coming through in comments here as well as the rage and anger at being outed as liars and fantasists. The overtures made by Alba to Reform and Trump are stating to fall into place. Hopefully the Scottish electorate do not fall for their divisive rhetoric, their lies and their hate. Nasty people.
ReplyDeleteFor all the deserved criticism IFS has received in here, he has sensibly decided to retire gracefully from posting. It’s understandable. Outed as a liar and a fantasist. Regrettably his wee band of helpers are too stupid to understand they have been similarly outed, and are posting more lies and disinformation. Sad wee people.
ReplyDeleteIs 'liar and fantasist' your new slogan to replace 'silly billy'? You've certainly made plenty of use of it this week. Try saying something original - you might like it.
DeleteAnon troll at 12.15pm you have not outed anyone and you post a mixture of random pish and outright lies.
Delete
