    Just had visions of Yousaf being FM there.  In the hot seat but picking fights with fitba' clubs and nurseries.. what a laugh it would be. 😆

    Seriously though, we are safe with Sturgeon in power IMO.  She's a safe pair of hands for any Unionist, and isn't actually going for Independence.  She's cracking on the mic and cuts a good promo though.. great for PR, so anyone else is a step down in terms of electability for the Nats.

    lol I laughed here because it might well turn out to be true and nobody can say for certain either way.

    You had all better watch out or SPR will be sending you DMs offering a square go to "clean your clock" am I right @Crawford Bridge

    Thought this said something else and was like "oh shit what's up @Snifter Pee Rot????"

    Kate Forbes raising this absolute hypocrisy, and that of Liz Smith with her comment about asking for the child payment grant to be raised, was a joy.

    Weird to feel joyous at someone batting away calls for wage rises no matter how hypocritical the people calling for it are

    I wouldn’t say any of the Jackass squad were cool outwith Knoxville but Jackass is still incredibly funny

    It was always the simpler things that got me. I can remember in one of the movies I think, they were trying to rig up a massove catapult to launch one of them sat in a shopping trolley out a garage door. Once they got it all sorted and ready to fire, one of them quickly pulled the garage door shut and launched the trolley into it. The instant look of fear on the lads face followed by getting fired into the door was priceless. Still tickles me thinking about it.

     

    This and Johnny Knoxville asking if Butterbean was okay are the two ones that always immediately spring to mind.

  4. People keep talking about today's shite as a deadcat or the press pressure over the party as a stand in for the hundreds of thousands dead either through austerity or the criminal negligence of the government over the last 21 months but it's worth minding that a good 14 million voters and the press don't give a shite about those people dying.

    A low bar since Caroline Lucas stopped being Green Leader, but I quite agree - he is streets ahead, on all counts, of the "big two".

    Lucas was crap as well. She looked at the most progressive Green New Deal on offer in the West and opted to prioritise Brexit instead.

    But that would give us all these awful red wall seats around Teesside.

    Far rather all the cool cities in the North of England than Edinburgh and Aberdeen TBP&FHWY. The Mancs and Scousers hate Westminster and the Tories much more than the aforementioned cities anaw.

    Starmer is in a different position to Blackford, though. Blackford is the leader of the third party in the HoC and the main narrative at Westminster will always be Tory v Labour, so it makes more sense for him to go hard and for headlines when he can. I don't think Starmer gains much from changing the headlines from what they currently are, which are (or should be) devastating for the Tories, to 'Opposition leader says PM should resign' (well, of course he does). 

    This is what the New Statesman podcast does to your brain

    The SNP are afraid to censor their politicians on any hot topic/culture wars patter. So, what they hope for, is that they f**k off to Alba.

    Fair enough but Forbes is clearly seen by a few as a future leader and is definitely not far off being seen as a big hitter.

    As for Starmer - he doesn't want Johnson to resign. He wants him right where he is, growing more disgraced and less trusted by the public. The worst thing that could happen to him is that BoJo is replaced by, say, Sunak. 

    If Starmer, given he has f**k all ability to actually get Johnson punted, can't even call for his resignation or prosecution and instead makes shite gags and limp-dicked calls for an apology then he should f**k off from being the supposed leader of the opposition.

    Just a total wet-wipe. A perpetual Jiminy Cricket.

    That was an... erm.. interesting watch 😀

    Wonder what the small man's background is to make him so angry.

    Didn't you listen? He walked Dylan out on stage in 1975 and knew The Grateful Dead since 1966.

    That's an interesting one as it's an old video so probably isn't staged.  It's obviously not staged really.  I like it though.  SO many of these videos of people doing mad stuff turn out to be yanks on drugs, I think he was being genuine.

    The Safdies talk about him as an inspiration for Uncut Gems.

  11. The SNP are devastated at losing McEleny and Hanvey, Sturgeon is devastated at neutering the lawyer who has been so humbled I cannae even mind her name half the time anymore and the SNP paid for the defections by increasing their vote share at the expense of like 40,000 people who can’t find their wallets.

    Hard to see how they recover from this.

    Both political leaders. Both country heads. Both seeking an end to a particular industry. 
    So there are some parallels that can be drawn, whether you believe one is right and one was wrong or not.

    This wouldn't even get you a pass at Higher Modern Studies bro

    That’s about right.

    We had someone steal from our business and it came to light about 2years ago. We gave all the evidence to the police who arrested and charged the person with theft.

     The case went to the PF who ruled that there was a valid case but that it wasn’t in the public interest to prosecute (shorthand for ‘couldn’t be bothered’).

    So yes, start your crime spree.

     

    I know it's always bollocks man but it's class seeing it applied to a sector you worked in.
