Cases are being scheduled for the middle of next year. Maybe if they concentrated on "real" crime as opposed to all this "I take offence to that", "he swore at me", "I was intimidated by a look he gave me", "he posted stuff online about me" crap, then we might get on a bit better.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I can’t be bothered with this election. Out of the candidates in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath seat. Labour - Lesley Laird - comes across well enough and is Shadow Scottish Secretary. Tories - Kathleen Leslie - controversial local councillor with a Tefal heid and she’s a Tory. Absolutely no chance. SNP - Neale Hanvey - never heard of the man. No idea if he’s a good guy or a w**k but chances are he does like the idea of independence. ...sigh. Can’t be bothered doing the rest. They’ve no chance under FPTP anyway. I’m seriously pissed off with public services and I don’t think that would change much no matter which colour of politicians are in charge. However, SNP are in charge of all the bits of public services that have pissed me off, so I’m reluctant to vote for them on the off chance of Indyref2 on the never, never. At the moment it’ll probably be Greens, Labour or cock and balls for a change. With or without the broken spunk line, that’s the real question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 10 minutes ago, The OP said: "Old man yells at cloud" type post. Maybe, but it's True. I'm 100% in favour of longer sentences for violent crimes and repeat offenders, however I'd be looking to get a grip on all the trivial crap that our courts and Police are currently burdened with as frankly we don't have the resources to cope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame they had to f**k up the 5% bit so badly though. They know full well some SNP voters switching to Labour would only benefit the tory candidates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I’ve effectively switched off from the coverage of this election, it’s making me depressed. The next few years are going to be shit for the most vulnerable people in Scotland and the whole of the U.K. and there’s f**k all we can do about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, I switch off the likes of Newsnight and C4 news minutes after switching them on. Still think there's a potential of a Corbyn surge and a Tory near wipe out in Scotland though, the pollsters have lost the plot for the last few years, especially in relating national to constituency. Even just Ian Duncan Smith losing his seat would be a cheery moment on the 13th, if we're doomed to more of this mindless shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite surprised. Know a few folk who are heavy active in the party these days that voted Yes and have been battling to get the party veterans to realise that relentlessly bashing the 45% of the electorate who are generally more politically engaged isn't a good strategy. Good luck to them though as I couldn't be arsed engaging with the party leadership who thought the SNP were the real enemy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I've booked the 13th off work, so I hope all this talk about disengagement will melt away when the time comes. Election night on P&B is always fantastic value, and this one will probably be as unpredictable as 2015. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
