The money raised was 175k, roughly 90k each I used to follow Grouse Beater but he blocked me for pointing out that he'd cropped an image so that he could use it to criticise the SNP. Interesting that I can see his post here on P&B but not on Twitter itself 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a piece on how the Scottish Government has been almost entirely surrendered to a tiny cabal of porno folk, addicts, prostitutes etc and proceeded to post his proof as tons of links to tweets of some individuals, the main one being a transgender activist, and how on occasion some SNP or Green politicians/members tweeted in support of trans rights groups and even liked or replied to some of that person's tweets. And stuff about the SNP equalities officer who had to apologise for posting abusive tweets about transphobes. His technique never changes, writes an intro hinting about what he's "discovered", then screenshots of a load of mostly random tweets or excerpts of articles that he doesn't link so it's hard to find the context, chucks in a few false logical chains between them, and then writes a usually baseless conclusion. Most people scan through all the rubbish in the middle to get to the end, and take his word for it. There's a reason why he's never been given a weekly column anywhere, his "journalism" doesn't add up, it's lazy fabrication and jumping to unfounded conclusions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else find it weird that the most common complaint about the First Minister on Twitter still seems to be that they don't find her physically attractive? I'd take that as a compliment if it was the main gripe in a performance review.

Granny Danger Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I have been very defensive of Nicola Sturgeon over the years. She was far from perfect but was still head and shoulders above any other politician in recent times both at a Scottish and UK level. I believe her commitment to the SNP’s main objective is unquestionable. However her biggest f**k up is undoubtedly resigning in such a manner that has left the SNP with a choice of three sub-standard choices for her replacement. She should have managed the whole thing far better and the party, and more importantly the country, will pay the price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps she ought to have announced now that she will stand down after next year’s General Election, which will coincide with a decade as leader and FM. That would have given the party time to consider the next steps and for potential leadership candidates to increase their profile with the party membership and the public. As it stands you’ve one of the worst performing cabinet ministers in the history of devolution, someone whose principles are governed by an imaginary man in the sky, and the batshit mental Ash Regan. Really doesn’t inspire confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that argument, but realistically speaking, even 6 months or a year from now you'd still have the same binfire of potential candidates to choose from. For her to resign in that manner suggests to me she'd absolutely had enough of fighting the lunatic Alba wing, and the relentless series of baseless accusations from moonhowlers. Add to that an almost completely hostile press/media and having to deal with the sheer idiocy of DRoss every other day, I'm amazed she stuck it out for so long. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then we've become so interwoven that partitioning us is pointless and painful.
