Granny Danger

Why have we changed the tactics that have been so successful the last four games?

I’ve always felt a bit sorry for left leaning voters in England whose only real choice under FPTP was Tory or Tory Lite. Imagine if the choice in Scotland becomes Tory, Tory Lite or Tory Ecosse.

^^^ Jealous as f**k.

Did someone say “stupid blanket”?

Looks like the SCOTUS ruling on immunity is going to be very tight. If some of the right-wing Justices vote againstTrump’s interests I can see the likes of Thomas proposing a compromise solution that simply kicks the can down the road.

I wonder if everyone and their granny pointing out that Thomas is a corrupt partisan hack who should not be participating in decisions taken by the highest court in the land will cause him to have a meaningful examination of what the role of a SC Justice is or will it simply reaffirm that he is a corrupt partisan hack? Im going for the latter.

Yeah, they even believe in global warming…

It should work. I’m in Spain and know someone who uses NordVPN all the time on their iPad and Firestick to access the BBC as a U.K. viewer. I will not reveal who that person is.

He might do that, and it might work. Then again it might be a disaster. In the distant past I was heavily active in the Labour Party, in the more recent past I was involved with the SNP but not nearly to the same level. Despite the years between the two there was one constant; political party membership has two distinct categories, the vast majority who simply pay their fees and the activists who put in the effort and who election and by-election campaigns are dependent on. If Humza’s political positioning doesn’t carry the latter group then he’s fucked.

Environmental issues are not at the top of my political agenda, but I’m probably more closely aligned with people like Harvie and Slater than I am with Kate Forbes, John Mason, Fergus Ewing and the other right wing homophobes who will no doubt be delighted with this move. I can see the SNP losing support from a lot of younger and more progressive voters as a result of this. It will be interesting to see any further visible lurch to the right as Harvie was predicting.

It’s just over a year since fat Tony left. These two things couldn’t possibly be related, could they?

Just let them drown. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/24/dont-rescue-people-who-scupper-their-channel-boats-says-reform-uk-deputy Where do they find these despicable c***s?

Fucking anti-Semitic …err… Jews! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/24/not-like-other-passovers-hundreds-of-jewish-demonstrators-arrested-after-new-york-protest-seder

If the government goes into administration and offers 6p in the £ then this would bring the amount owed down to £150 billion. That’s a far more manageable sum.

Here’s the thing. If he’d just paid the hush money out of his own pocket and not tried to hide the payment and claim it as an expense for tax purposes this court case would not be happening. Whatever actually transpired it’s his greed and inability to stop gaming the system that has landed him in court.
