But advances the route to independence not one iota. Good for the party. Bad for the country.

I think it is entirely fair to remind people of your very recent past voting record as you pass high handed judgement on SNP candidates presently.

He voted for Brexit in a campaign ran by - Vote Leave - Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson, Michael Gove. Leave.EU - Nigel Farage and Arron Banks Now he feels all tingly about Forbes getting the top job. f**k off!

To win independence you need as broad a church (forgive the pun) as possible. That is what the SNP should be. Fiscal Conservatives, Socialists, Greens, Centrists...whatever. As long as they firmly believe Scotland would be better off as an independent country. A face to put up against every unionist party that claims to be any of the above and show voters why independence will be better for them. Just indulging green left wing policies that have been a disaster narrows your voter base and leads to....this.

Her latest orders must be to stand down and have a rest. No threat on the horizon from - the names Swinney...John Swinney

Yeah heard that story. Sounds bollocks. Probably the inspiration for the Robert Harris novel out a few years ago.

You'll have to remind me when there was ever a female Pope? or Archbishop of Canterbury? or even an Imam at the local mosque? Selective bollocks.

Or Brexit voters

The SNP and Greens are an absolute embarrassment. Toys oot the pram behaviour from both sides. Now the country is left with the prospect of John Swinney topping his pension fund for the next two years before he packs it in altogether. Where was the succession strategy? A dominant party emptied by Sturgeon within a few short years. A shower of shite left to pick up the pieces.

Probably best not indulging in that kind of stuff then.

Who or what are GC?

A more coherent plan than anything laid out by Sturgeon or her glove puppet successor.

No doubt. Coming up for 10 years since the referendum, and they will still be sitting their arses on those green benches doing bugger all to advance independence. Useless.

At least Northern Irish unionists can put the squeeze on Westminster Governments given half the chance to get something. Scottish unionists are just cringing cap-doffing weirdos that will happily do as they are told.

The SNP / Independence movement after the Salmond years has been a joke. Lots of happy clappers sipping the kool-aid of mammy Sturgeon, believing she had a secret master plan that would outfox those dastardly Westminster Tories.

Says she has left to join a party that she feels is actually all about campaigning for independence. Fair enough. At least she has stuck to her principles. Unlike the Benedict Arnold type MP who crossed the floor and joined the fucking Tories!

Now if only the Greens had suggested melting down all the plastic bottles and cans to fill in the potholes that now blight every road in Scotland. Naw. They wanted to see you standing there feeding in your purchases to an irn bru bottle puggy machine just so you are not getting shafted when you originally buy the stuff at the till. Arseholes.

I don't know justice maybe? If there has been a crime committed, let the investigation proceed. Baldy headed high yins in the SNP should not be above the law. Neither should those very close to them that simply "can't recall" details when asked.

Aye there might well be a "right wing coup" taking place. Certainly, impounding the Murrels Bullseye prize has all the hallmarks. Or maybe... just maybe. The police had enough evidence to arrest him.

Don't back doon, double doon

The Michael Russell Mobile Centre for Independence. Cringeworthy.

Got to love this continual nonsense of folk sticking up polls from various outlets. That should not trump the elected Parliament that people in Scotland actually went out and voted for. If you went on polls today, the Tories would be out of office and hanging would be back in fashion. Give it a rest until unionists can actually win an election.

These moonhowlers need booted post haste. There will always be their tiny noisy core support, whining about pish naebody is interested in. Surprisingly enough...it will have f**k all to do with the environment. They suddenly preach hard for independence when there is an election. No interest otherwise but for votes. Get them tae f**k

Indeed. The overjoyed reaction from the Yoony tunes is as to be expected. They think they have felled the last big Indy beast / dragon... Whatever. Most normal thinking indy folk have been enjoying today's developments. The slap head silent dictator removed and the prospect of a new leader seeking independence as a priority.
