i am interested in who exactly would govern this future independent country if not the Nats, Greens, Albas? The independent Scottish government would be filled with the same quality of politician we have now except now they would have free rein to do anything without reference to Westminster and any checks the make on them (accepting they hardly cover themselves in glory). The standard of person involved is woeful, and they are lording it over the country as politicians with no experience of anything much beyond being a politician (or councillor).
Desperate days.
I would hope for some sort of cross-party alliance between what would be left of the SNP and Labour tbh.
I would also expect the SNP's WM representatives would replace many of the clowns they have in HR, after all there would be no need for SNP representation in WM in this situation. Flynn, Black, Sheppard etc are levels above pretty much all the current MSPs.
As much as I take the piss out of Labour, they're not totally awful. Monica Lennon for example is a decent sort. I would further hope to see the Greens sidelined, I had previously hoped they would proved useful partners in the SG as long as they kept the lunatics at bay, however they are a rabble of wanks and need fired into the sun at the earliest opportunity.
As for the minority parties, Alba are a still going to be irrelevant moonhowlers, the Lib Dems will still be absolutely pointless and just f**k the Tories.

But on the plus side you don't have to engage in pointless chit chat about how nice the weather is. Well worth it imo.

He had a fiancee? Jesus I'm 94% certain she's probably under his patio these days. Boy was a fucking lunatic.

The supply and use of universal services?
It's more akin to road tax. I wouldn't suggest that it should be mutualised.
Your consumption is your own regard and I wish you good luck with that.
Road Tax was binned in the 1930s btw

Todd Boehly went into the Chelsea dressing room after the defeat to Brighton and told the players they’re weren’t living up to their price tag.
Nothing better than someone making horrific decisions then blaming the workers.Frank and Kepa wheeled out to say it's TOTALLY normal.

To be fair, not everyone who doesnt pay tax "takes" from the system. Some of them could be full time maws (like my wife) albeit she runs a couple of businesses but doesnt earn enough to pay tax.
Hardly any will take from the system. Most folk in the benefits system I've worked with hardly give a shite about politics, I'd be surprised if the turnout rate for them is anywhere near 50%
A fair chunk of those will be folk on low earnings as well. They may well get UC as an effective top up but I think we all know what the idiot Rangers fan was hinting at.

Does she not get any issues when she presents her certificate to use public toilets?
Surely “they” know?
What's the going rate for a Genital Inspector these days anyway? Do these weirdos get paid, or volunteer?
Tbh they seem the types that would definitely do it for absolutely nothing.

If he can win the Conference League though (and they should), he will be waved off into the sunset.
Seriously?
Fiorentina are a considerably better side than West Ham and have absolutely cigared their way through this tournament. If West Ham cop La Viola in the semis, they're out (assuming they can actually get past Gent)

We did Mhic Coinnich with the InnPin - I can't remember any huge problems linking those two but I never even thought of trying to link it with Alasdair as I honestly didn't know it was possible.
Aye it can be done by going over the top of Sgurr Thearlaich, the tricky bit i think is the descent from that. One route is a Mod grade but involves dodgy slabs with huge exposure, the other is either a Severe or a V Diff. Both sound sound fucking terrifying and I won't be touching them with a 10 foot bargepole. We did the Dubh Mor route onto Alasdair via the chimney by the Sgumain bivi cave which was superb. SMcCh looked really close from the top of the stone shoot but the Cuillin traverse guidebook was sufficiently off-putting to sack it there and run down the shoot.
The youTube guy Steaming Boots/WilkieMurray went down the shoot a bit then cut across to access Collie's ledge. Not sure I fancy that either. I think i'll just wait until i get a guide for the Pinn and add it on.

Anyway, most of my walks this year have been local stuff, I also signed up for the Clova Duathlon in a total brainfart moment which means I have to try and do some trail running. I was dreading this tbh as i absolutely detest road running, but running hills (or small parts of them) has been surprisingly excellent fun so far. Started last week with the traditional Mayar and Driesh route in 2:55, then yesterday up to Loch Wharral and down Loch Brandy and back along the road in 2:25.
My other walks this year have been taking my bro-in-law out to do Tolmount and Tom Buidhe (good day) and Lochnagar and a pish hill beside it (awful pea souper). Doing Jock's Road again next week then 10 days in Skye and Kintail at the end of the month, which can't come quickly enough.

Eg I was up Ben Lomond on Saturday via Ptarmigan and that took 5 hours which is about average but I was almost 10 hours for Sgurr Mhic Coinnich alone in windy sleety conditions.
What route did you take for Sgurr Mhic Coinnich? I had looked at adding it to the Sgurr Dubh Mor/Sgurr Alasdair route but the slabs from the intervening top are a climbing grade in any book i've seen, so we just dropped down off Alasdair. I did see the Steaming Boots guy found a way across to Collies Ledge from the Stone Shoot though.

Only found out about it recently but it looks amazing. It could break pool into the mainstream and leave snooker in the dust if they keep it up
Seen a bit of it. The standard is wild.

It's a bit sad really to see someone who has enough time to thrash out these repetitive essays on a football forum, but has nothing better to do with that time than thrash out these repetitive essays on a football forum.
I thought she was trolling tbf, but no one puts this amount of effort in, especially since hardly anyone can be bothered engaging with this tl;dr moonhowling drivel.
Imagine spending your family holiday posting about transgender issues
Mental.

No, not at all, the post was specifically designed as satire that would attract opprobrium from those that, in the context of this very serious thread, I thought wouldn't see past the obvious.
Hmmm. I'm going to go with "you made an absolute c**t of it"
Nice try though.

Or get busy making a tin foil hat for yourself, holy crap.
I've had no new evidence or information that changes my mind. 6 sexes wtf? Puberty blockers are fine because they're used for a physical condition like precocious puberty, which is not the same thing?
I still believe there are 2 sexes, you can't change from one to another in any meaningful way, legal sex is a fiction that was convenient at the time for politicians who actually *didn't* support same sex marriage FFS.
These were as much an undisputed fact as 'water is wet' up until very recently, so it's up to you to justify the changes that you support.
Also no, just because there have been gender non conforming people since the year dot in history, that doesn't mean I'm uniformed. I think I missed answering that one before. I also was (and am) funnily enough, constantly laughed at as a tomboy for not liking "girl stuff".
I'm no the flat-earther here.
If you want I can also total up the number of times that I've been told to go away. Almost like you don't want to hear a different view expressed?
Every "GC" person isn't the same. You can't conflate every bats**t or unpleasant statement ever made on Twitter, to deflect from bothering to seriously reply.
I am not: Far right/conservative/a man/evangelical Christian/a particular feminist you dislike/Donald Fkin Trump etc.
You've spent so much time deciding amongst yourselves why I got into this thread and no time listening to my answers as far as I can see. Just thinking of reasons I should be dismissed so that no one listens.
