Guest Wind Chime Jimmy Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Her self congratulatory speech was vomit inducing. She failed with the closing of the attainment gap, Covid deaths in old folks homes, worst drugs deaths in Europe, the tried cover up on Salmond, Fergusons shipyard fiasco, reduced number of college places available, criminalisation of fitbaw fans etc Most worrying NHS Scotland in turmoil. They're looking at integrating health and social care more closely. It'll offer the opportunity to open up a lot of community health services to the private sector. They've been privatising the NHS by stealth for years. They're driving home a procurement process that will offer the private sector opportunities to tender for all sorts. Tender on more than 1500 procedures, including a range of operations such as heart, cancer and brain surgery. There's been £150 million set aside over five years to finance the implementation of this process. NHS will hopefully remain free at a point of need, but, that doesn't mean it's not being privatised, because it already is. She had failed to deliver on a unified, a progressive and a fairer Scotland. She very effectively managed to close down opposition witin her party, and has managed to ensure that Scotland is now more divided than ever. She had also, remained in the same statistical rut by ensuring the SNP have enough votes to win elections, but the SNP are no closer to delivering independence. She failed to bring onboard those who are not SNP voters, but want an independent Scotland (me). Sadly for Scotland we're in limbo. A fractured, broken nation that has an inept Goverment with no effective political opposition. We cannot move on as a society, we're effectively stuck, and meanwhile we'll all keep burling round looking for both blame and inspiration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking if she had been planning leaving around now, giving some of the future leaders a chance to do them would have helped give them some experience and get them known a bit also 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to add that she's definitely spent 20 years in a phoney relationship to cover up being gay, because it would rule out any kind of career in Scottish politics if it ever came out.

Boo Khaki Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Remember, she also faked a miscarriage just to attempt to endear herself to women, and give the false impression that she could possibly empathise with the sort of thing that a lot of white, middle-class women in Scotland go through. After all, what the f**k would she know about being a white, middle-class woman anyway? Vile separatist.

Boo Khaki Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 When exactly was Joanna Cherry ever a 'hero' to 'indi types'? She is, and always has been, an obnoxious, abrasive, self-aggrandising arsehole, something she has in common with both Salmond and Rev. Stuart Incel. The fact she is pro-indi is neither here nor there. Fucking bizarre black and white view that it's all either 'good guys' or 'wanks' depending on where they stand on constitutional matters. There are plenty decent sorts who are still pinning their colours to unionism, and utter bellends who are pro-indi. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonapersona Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 3 minutes ago, orfc said: She nearly got Brexit binned by pointing out Johnson sending parliament into recess was illegal and got the supreme court to back her. If Sturgeon and her fellow gobshite Corbyn had fought Brexit as hard it may not have happened. The fact she's a successful QC/KC must have helped in this case, but was also a backhanded reminder to Sturgeon that she got chased out of a law firm for fucking up her cases pursuing the same career - that can't have enamoured her to Nicola and her fans Are you saying that Sturgeon carries some blame for Brexit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) I'd love to know how Nicola Sturgeon, not being a Westminster MP, was supposed to 'fight Brexit as hard' as Jeremy Corbyn, who absolutely is and was a Westminster MP. Was she supposed to go doon and chap on the door and demand to be let in to vote or something? Edited March 3, 2023 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 It's been explained to you exactly why the SNP abstained on that particular vote. "Lukewarm resistance" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
