  1. One question the inquisition used to ask heretics was whether God had created snakes.
  2. His ultimate goal was independence and a referendum was his preferred method of achieving that. It would be a revisionist claim IMO to suggest that Salmond thought he couldn't win it and I imagine he was ambitious and confident enough to believe that he could achieve it on his terms.
  3. Think it's fair to say that Salmond has achieved more within the confines of the Scottish Parliament than anyone else you could think to name but that he failed in his ultimate goal. Fair play for committing political seppuku over it the day after. A true showman.
  4. Boris wants the job. There's just dozens who don't want him to have it.
  5. Can't think of a worse place to discuss trans issues than Question Time. Especially one that has the babboon in a suit Rod Liddle.
  6. I'd recommend BBC: The Myth of a Public Service over that Ponsonby doc tbh.
  7. Of course to Scottish university students Rod Liddle is known more as Robbie Travers weird looking mate.
  8. Think it's implied as such in the show as well.
  9. Twitter claimed that a verified tick didn't make those users inherently more valuable or anything despite allowing them to the ability to filter replies from anyone that didn't have a tick. Is some dunt today watching bozos like Yaxley-Lennon crying about their free speech being censored.
  10. I freely admit to knowing the square root of f**k all on this apart from my own anecdotal experience and I don't think the government should base policy on it over health professionals and the other people who are paid to consider this.
  11. The manner in which they act and speak makes their actions towards the latter half more understandable IMO. I wasn't as shocked as I could've been but I always on edge.
  12. It's the music in Martin's scenes. I said to the person next to me that I felt that incredibly anxious from the first moment he was on screen.
  13. Fairly sure "Dwayne" is a Republican so he would need to wait until 2024 if Trump again. ^^ what a fucking statement to write semi seriously
  14. There's no difference here from what the UK, USA or indeed anyone does. Suggesting small minded parochialism clouding a parliament is unique to Scotland is baffling and driven by an agenda IMO.
  15. Mad that Rangers fans think Scotland is on the cusp of direct rule from Rome when you have policy like this blatantly influenced by those damn Presbyterians.
  16. Louise Mensch threatening Glenn Greenwald today was my highlight from #resistancetwitter
  17. Whoever wins this election will likely shine a light on which direction the party will go. All of the deadweight and notable figures of the banter years are conveniently starting their meltdowns over Corbynista vote rigging before the result's even been made known so maybe they'll piss off pronto.
  18. Just gonna have to get really into MDMA lads.
  19. Might as well let Sarwar fill in as it's the closest he's ever getting to being leader* *Ive already got my direct debit set to cancel if he wins
  20. I grew up in a single parent household with an alcoholic mother and I'm not sure that this would've stopped the drinking. It probably would've made it even more difficult to keep the lecky on tbh.
