I couldn't care less tbh. As I said, if you want to go down the conspiracy rabbit hole, batter in.
I don't think confirmation was necessary tbh.I'm not supporting people perjuring themselves to get someone jailed.
I'm not supporting folk that think you're a women from day one even if you've no intention of having surgery.
I'm not the one supporting folk who won't allow feminists in their party.
Only weirdos think those positions are acceptable IMHO.

You're outed yourself as an utter creep ages ago. Spare us your crocodile tears about women.
If utter creep means I stick up for women then I'm an utter creep, I'll sleep well.

James Doleman literally tweeted a defendant's name. Their actual name. Dani Garavelli wrote an article in a national newspaper allowing two of the defendants to be easily identified.
Murray has been sentenced to jail for doing much less than that. If you think this isn't political or take any pleasure from today's proceedings there's something wrong with your mind. I don't understand you, you're ill in the head, its as simple as that.
As for perjury lets remind ourselves. A woman claimed AS tried to rape her, gave a harrowing account of him chasing her around the bedroom and how terrified she was.
It turned out through witness statements, every witness btw, and written records, she was never even in the building at any stage. Not even in the same building. She made it all up. That's perjury. That's illegal and highly immoral. To attempt to have an innocent man jailed for the rest of his life.
If you support justice that means the law applies equally to everyone all the time.
If you want Murray jailed but not Garavelli or Doleman you only support justice selectively.
If you don't want to see the people who committed perjury to attempt to have AS jailed you also only support justice when it suits you. If so you need to take a good look at yourself.
We'll said, those lying to get someone done for sex offences should get named and shamed for lessening the chances of convictions in the genuine cases.
Quite surprising how few fucks are given for women and their rights on here nowadays.

And it is exactly how you have a one sided view of the uk that is driving Independence.
At present it is a union not a one sided governance, a union in any language determines an equal partnership, just as a marriage is.
It is not morally acceptable that one partner of that union determines another's future, yet you refer to the establishment and the power down south as if we were children that can only be led by the hand.
It's that mindset that people like myself and our young people want to break away from and steer our own future and not be forced to accept another country's governance.
We have the energy, the foresight and initiative to become a solid respected country in our own right.
We will never have that when people look to 'the power down south'.
Just as England is,Scotland also is a Sovereign country
In case you haven't noticed, they hold the power.
You'd think it was only you lot that wanted independence, sums up why we got gubbed the last time and it'll be the same old arguments this time round if we get that far.

I wish the BBC and the rest of The Establishment would start seriously questioning why 50% of people living in Scotland want to govern themselves, the vast majority of the population really didn't give a shit a decade or so ago.
Maybe if those in power down south actually took actions that showed they gave a shit about people up here then folk like myself would still be shrugging our shoulders when the subject is raised.

Nicola Sturgeon is miles ahead of any other party leader, so where do these middle folk go?
The problem is we have Yes activists like Denise Findlay, Mr Malky, Neil Mackay ,Wings et al spouting about how they hate her and advocating not to vote for the only feasible party that can deliver Indy. These clowns are the ones that are making things less likely to happen by trying to split the support. Nicola Sturgeon has probably hoovered up a lot of the middle ground but lost the extremists to Alba. She says she will deliver an Indy ref if she doesn't she will be held to account.
She's already said and done all this, she's not taken us any closer to independence whilst our issues with drugs, mental health and education have all went backwards.
Plenty of hard working folk are now getting fed up with her dishing out freebies rather than doing the hard yards to get her votes.

Salmond being in Holyrood would have turned the soft No’s into harder No’s.
That doesn't detract from the idea that something different needs to happen, I can't stand listening to Nicola any longer and I'm YES, God only knows how many in the middle that she's actually turned that way as well.

I don't think Alex Salmond who is currently more unpopular in Scotland than Boris Johnson was right guy to front party.
What many of us did say was that in most regions SNP voters should have backed the Greens on List. If even half the SNP voters had done this the Greens would have bee on 20% or more and won around 20 seats on list.
I don't disagree.

The Alba lads absolutely beeling that thir rag tag bunch of bigots and misfits have completely crahed and burned is it ?
I'm neither Alba nor SNP and I'm no more beeling about it as I was on Wednesday, folk will eventually realise that independence will only come about with a long term strategy rather than this vote for me vote for me pish.

I can't help wondering if Joe FitzPatrick has been used as a scapegoat. Might be way, way wide of the mark though.
We've not exactly ploughed cash into the issue since 2007.

The best way of winning over the large chunk of soft No's is to have a sex pest universally despised in parliament with a rag tag bunch of deplorables and transphobes supported by men who think nothing of sexually harassing women ? It's a theory.
I think you'll find we were discussing an Alba or similar as a strategy.

Disembarking after a ship has been scuttled would be an eminently sensible thing to do. You’d probably be standing on board with Wee Eck convincing yourself that everything was going to turn out differently.
It's Nicola' fandans that are currently expecting something different to happen under the same circumstances, at least this will be her last pop at getting all the YESSERS.

Laughable given your record of disembarking after ships have already been scuttled.

You can’t “leave aside those involved” when discussing the fallacy of the Alba party, because it’s the entire reason that they’re an unvoteable laughing stock, and people have been loudly pointing this out since their inception.
You can be of the belief that a theoretical third major party as an option on the list would be a good thing, whilst also being aware that Alba, its inhabitants and the target audience of the party are a detriment to the independence movement. A party created purely to assuage an old man’s ego / thirst for revenge and filled with lunatics and bigots is only going to turn off anyone that isn’t a Yes Da.
Alba, the party that actually exists, was a shite idea, and that’s very much being reflected in their vote share.The status quo simply won't cut it, whilst we had the results to back up our rhetoric on policy it may have been enough, not now, Nicola deflects and obfuscates with the best of them now whilst throwing out a bauble or 2 to distract the masses.

Anyone that thinks Alba was a stupid idea is an imbecile, leaving aside those involved in Alba, having 80 or 90 Pro Indy seats would have made a mockery of our current set up, that's probably the best way of winning over the large chunk of soft NO's in Scotland.
70 to 59 or similar still looks close enough for most folk to swallow the Unionist bullshit.

'Both Votes SNP' was front and centre in their campaign. There was no need for that. Actively encouraging votes for other parties would of course have drawn accusations of gaming the system, but I do wonder if just keeping fairly quiet about the list might have resulted in more pro-indy MSPs.
They don't want more, just enough to give a wee bit of insurance is all they want.

It’s a concern. The number of people who do this election after election with the same results is a mild annoyance. It’s almost like a large section of the electorate are not particularly politically engaged and just do the same thing at every election.
It's understandable when the party you support begs for you to waste your 2nd vote on them.
We'll need to hope they nick a majority on their own now to give them a stronger voice than last week.

2% extra for the Greens is piss-poor if replicated across the board.
Nearly half of all list votes in Glasgow wards being piled in the bin because of the SNP's gormless 'both votes SNP!!!!111!!!!' strategy.
Not surprised, looks like we're no further forward than we were on Wednesday, she might prove us all wrong and produce a plan B that isn't just a Partridge shrug.

When will indyref2 happen?
in The Politics Forum
Posted · Edited by ayrmad
Unfortunately, whilst they still haven't produced suitable counter arguments to the difficult questions after all these years, the SNP think they're the only YES show in town, I derived far more enthusiasm for YES from folk not in the SNP last time round than I did from Salmond, Sturgeon or the rest of them.
Another gubbing incoming if we ever get indyref2 as most like Swinney and Hyslop are just lumps of wood that don't inspire anyone.
