pandarilla Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 How is it crucial?She was told about accusations against her predecessor (and close ally).Maybe 'crucial detail' was the wrong term. It's certainly something that's pretty fucking important, and forgetting about being told is very dodgy indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said she thought she was told about the official investigation in a meeting four days later. For the life of me, I can't understand what advantage she's supposed to have gained from this "lie".

Merkincher Clach & County Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 3 hours ago, Glen Sannox said: She forgot, it must be a Nat trait. The SNP provost of Edinburgh forgot that he owned a hotel. Somehow they’ll still manage to blame the English or the nasty Tories. The Glasgow Provost forgot how much she spent on clothes. The Justice Secretary forgot that we all had to insure our vehicles. Another one forgot she tested positive for covid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get on a lot better when you realise that Baxter Parp is a sophisticated bot we all collaborated on a few years back who alternates between sharing negative articles on the Union and obfuscating criticism of the SNP/ independence by being needlessly obtuse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 If any yoon, brainless thicko thinks for one minute that shutting the pubs early for a couple of weeks makes anyone want to continue to have the HoL, to have the rape clause, bedroom tax, Trident, Iraq war mk. 2, Boris fucking Johnson, Brexit etc... Then you're absolutely a brainless thicko yoon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Academically Deficient Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Any P&B thoughts on whether Scotland qualifying for (and please God) doing well in the Euros would have an impact on polling for indyref2? The consensus view of the first devolution vote was affected by our terrible performance in Argentina '78. I remember that period well and the general sense of gloom that surrounded it. Personally, I doubt it as I think we've matured a bit since then and dont invest as much significance in the national team's performance now. But who knows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 We would play England at Wembley in the Euros if we qualify. If we somehow won that, I think any referendum scheduled afterwards would be a Boab Mugabe style 107% landslide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you did the TA not break into 'I'd rather have a panda than a prince' at one point in a game around then? Arent a section of the TA not amongst some of the biggest forelock tuggers? Love going abroad wearing kilts but essentially about as unionist as the club deck? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Scotland fans I've met (as described) have tended to be huge nationalists. Their rugby version tended to be unionists /best of both world types. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunrise Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Odd, the TA I've met are proddy bigots.Not quite TA, but a Facebook page that did the round during the 2010 World Cup - “I only support two teams: Scotland and whoever England are playing” - which has a cack-load of followers for that time, changed its picture to a choob waving the Scottish and U.K. flags shortly before the first indyref, staying they were proudly supporting the union.
