That’s not surprising, there’s folk on here that seem to be struggling with Salmond’s new party being connected to his massive ego and desire for revenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am, to a degree, although it's becoming harder to deny. It's difficult to accept that people you respected have entirely different motives to the ones they presented with, but that's no excuse for tying yourself in knots to defend them. One positive thing about Salmond's public self-pwning is that maybe - maybe - some people will stop believing that the independence movement is in thrall of a Svengali figure, and that it'll all just go away if they can be removed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always entertaining, though, so keep up the good work. Just don't storm Holyrood when the Bath Party demands it. You obviously know more about Qanon than myself and I'm quite happy with my judgement. Why would I storm Holyrood, I've already stated that I think Independence is a dead duck, Nicola seems to agree, she'll be delighted if Eck gets an even 3 or 4% across the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pally with Salmond, it's hardly a big leap to suggest one influenced the other. It's like the RT thing. Obviously it's Russian state propaganda, even most of the time, especially when talking about geopolitics. But to say that nothing that is ever written on it is admissible as reasonable then you end up just relying on The BBC, The Guardian, The Herald, The Daily Record, some blogger you end up missing information for thinking that the medium alone is the message Spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read from all sides, you'll not learn much just reading everything you want to hear. Unrelated, obviously, but it'll be most amusing to see the sight of some independence supporters being annoyed if the SNP actually manage to pull off another referendum in the next parliament. I guess they'll contrive to lose it again because...something about gravy trains? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk with my opinion can't lose, if we're right, not getting a referendum will be no real letdown, if we get one we'll take it. I'm not holding my breath, honestly can't ever remember being in a position where I don't fancy voting for anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I had a feeling that was an underlying part of the anti-SNP movement, but you don't like to assume. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We nicked the logo from some American high school girls netball team or something. It's actually a hornet. I'm not kidding, I think it did come from an American high school team of some sort, and I think it was plagiarised. Amazed we've stuck with it so long TBH. I keep expecting some minor scandal story in one of the sports pages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Obviously Salmond and these Alba nutters and going to be electorally fucked into the nearest bin, however there would be tremendous hilarity if the sham party that Sleepy Cuddles put together as a vehicle solely for him to slither back into Holyrood returned one of their other candidates instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bula Bairn Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Not even a week old and Alba already has more MPs than Scottish Labour, more members than the Lib Dems and 25 pages on how irrelevant they are... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
