If it were some shite debate about forests or similar it would have kept going but the party leaders need the suspension so they can get the spin lines and get dressed up for the 6 o'clock news. The suspension is a PR exercise all round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It is definitely the right decision to suspend the parliament. Regardless of what they were debating or voting on, carrying on given the incident wouldn't be right and would just give those who already dislike it even more of a reason to show how much we don't care etc etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysouth Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It was right (imo) to suspend the debate. But the amount of hatred on Twitter just now because it wasn't done immediately (partly stirred up by Andrew neil), towards the snp in particular and Scots in general is unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am guessing basic security and knowledge of previous attacks (i.e sporadic attacks in different locations) in recent years would have been to close down any parliment building in the U.K. As a precaution to begin with .

The same people complaining about it being suspended argue the media and the unionist camp will deploy any line to make the independence campaign look bad so even from the tinfoil hat point of view this is absolutely the right decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as forever blue didn't say it would help the people injured in London to suspend the parliament. He clearly was suggesting there could be a coordinated plan of action to hit Holyrood as well.

1320Lichtie Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Of course it was the right decision to stop it, which happened immediately after people knew. It's absolutely disgusting that people are trying to use this as point scoring, I can't believe what I'm reading on social media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
