invergowrie arab Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 You say this every single time the Greens are discussed. Name one Scottish Green policy which could be described as Malthusian please. Ross Greer hates fat people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Willie Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Wasn't sure where to put this. Poor old Torcuil. http://wingsoverscotland.com/the-final-meltdown/ There's a lot of pictures so I can't copy and paste. Here's the start: Poor old Daily Record. What a distance to fall. It can’t be easy to be the declining tabloid’s Westminster political correspondent these days. Accustomed to decades of spoon-fed stories from tame Scottish Labour MPs, the SNP landslide of 2015 has left Crichton’s contacts book barer than Kezia Dugdale’s talent cupboard. The resentment has been building up for the last 11 months, and Torcuil just hasn’t been able to hold it back a moment longer, exploding all over page 25 today in what isn’t so much a column as a last desperate cry for help. It bears a close examination, so buckle in, readers… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Not strictly Malthusian, but their attitude against any further extraction of fossil fuels regardless of whether the net effect in the long-run could be lower carbon emissions, and their opposition to even the heavily regulated growing of genetically modified crops are pretty backwards. For what it's worth I do entirely disagree with their stance on GM crops - provided regulations are strictly enforced I think we should encourage them - but as you say, not Malthusian.

Mr Bairn Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Ross Greer has a wife? Christ on a jetski. I highly doubt it. It was a Salmond joke. In saying that I used to be quite interested in this Stirling bird for a while and then she got close with Greer and I never heard from her again so you never know.

John Lambies Doos Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 On a more serious note it would be interesting to garnish the %figure of people who voted no in the referendum because salmonds wife was fat and old 10%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 There's a new yougov poll out apparently.

List SNP 45 Labour 19 Tories 18 Lib Dems 5 Greens 8 UKIP 3 Seats; SNP 71 (+2) Labour 23 (-14) Tories 24 (+9) Greens 8 (+6) Lib Dems 3 (-2) Tories with less votes but more seats than labour.

There seems to be a few polls now that suggest about 10% of SNP constituency voters will give their votes to the Greens for the list. SLab looked totally screwed. I wonder what their response will be if this actually happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Any idea on changes from the previous YG poll? I can't find them anywhere unfortunately. It's a yougov poll for the times, and that 'Scotland votes' twitter feed posted it earlier on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
