It's delicious. Your response? 'Team: Rangers'. But that's what it's all about for the plural 'you': The ugly yet banal politics of identity and division. So happy to see it being binned. You're once again deliberately missing the point entirely, so much so that I'm inclined to think that it's actually performative stupidity on your part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a shame, really. As I said many times, she's a talented politician. She's not Hence the current mess She is a talented orator But abysmal on policy and delivery (in fact would appear drove pet projects and hired only like minded people) and has been binned by her own husband for driving the party membership through the floor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire justification for partitioning Britain is premised on the assertion that those above a line drawn from The Solway to the Tweed are different from those below said line. It's the most stupid idea I have heard in all of my 63 years - and that includes Charles Green's assertion that he bought Rangers' history. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's the idea that perhaps having decisions made in the best interests of the people above the line might be better than the interests of one corner of the island being prioritised. The location of the line is incidental, really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crùbag Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 13 hours ago, The_Kincardine said: "My Party Wrong or Wrong" stuff from you, here. This thread has more than a whiff of the early days of the BRALT about it. When @bennett and I were saying, "Naw, it can't be that bad". Turns out, it was actually much worse! Strange how you read that. The SNP is not 'my party'. I'm in no party and my politics are 'on the left'. I have been generally supportive of the SNP, and Greens, but at the moment, the SNP feels farther from being 'my party' that it ever has been. FWIW none of the parties in Scotland have good leaderships, maybe the Greens come close, but the SNP is definately bringing itself down to the level of the others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only look for the SNP until the slaphead leaves is maximum transparency. Unnecessary and unprecedented. I can't think of any other party, or government/ social institution, that practises maximum transparency. Members should be aware of important details, of course, but why should non-members like myself be privy to the same internal workings as a paid-up member? I'd say this of the Tories too. Their use of public funds to feather their friends' nests is of more concern to me than how many members the party has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 The Times reports that Peter Murrell will resign in the coming days or weeks. Considering he’s been in place for 20 years it will be interesting how this affects the organisation of the SNP. Ash Regan’s campaign are apparently consulting lawyers on whether there could be a case to stop the count. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Murrell was always going to follow his wife out the door - he probably thought it made sense to oversee the leadership election first..........but has made a bit of a shop front of the whole thing. Time is up. I posted the link to Ash Regans campaign website the other day, its like a primary school online paper which has then been edited by David Icke. She needs fired into the moon, and I can only hope that she fucks off to Alba for a wee cuddle from uncle Alex shortly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirez Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Quite like the sounds coming from the Regan campaign. Straight talking. As it is. No BS. No doubting she would punt the toxic coalition with the perverted Green weirdos. It'll no happen for her this time though. Reckon Forbes will win and Humza and his backers will resign en masse and f**k off as the gravy tap starts to get turned off. Happening already -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredibly silly that you persist with this line when the last century of Irish history exists. Indeed, the British have merrily drawn lines across the world for the last 300 odd years. 9 hours ago, The_Kincardine said: It's the most stupid idea I have heard in all of my 63 years - and that includes Charles Green's assertion that he bought Rangers' history.

A: Because the highest internal office within the party is already mired in an investigation of serious wrongdoing. If the SNP wants to avoid the sleaze tag being pinned on the whole party rather than Murrell's outrageously bald head, it needs to hold itself to a higher standard of scrutiny than the fucking Tories. An organisation with nothing to hide has nothing to fear from transparency. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Regan gone full zoomer already.She was already in zoomer land but I had expected it to all start one she got emptied and resigned to join Alba since they are using her as a puppet on a string 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
