Suspect Device Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I don't need to like any of the major independence figures to like independence. In fact, I couldn't name any of them I do like these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who is wavering or a soft yes is really at risk as this scandal prolongs. I'm heartened by the fact support in the SNP is reducing but not support for Independence at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minterrific stuff So the only argument is who is or isn't 'beyond the pale' and he used the expression perfectly well. Agreed? 2 hours ago, Tartan Dave said: The snp going bankrupt wouldn’t do much to convince people who aren’t convinced by the economic argument for indy The major carriers of the 'Yes' message are a gang of troughers, shysters and chancers so, of course, the message is tainted by this. The 'unconvinced middle' will be influenced by this. As for the economic argument, well one hasn't been made beyond the 'look at our resources' unquantified stuff. In particular, no one has tried to deal with: 1. The withdrawal of the Barnett Bonus, accounting for about 1/4 of government spending in Scotland. 2. The effect on Scottish trade by being outwith both the EU and UK single markets for an (as of now) unquantifiable period. 3. The fiscal and human resource cost of setting up all of the 'levers' needed for a new state. The benchmark here is Social Security Scotland which will have taken 10 years from announcement to final implementation at a cost close to £1Bn. The general approach to the economic case is, "Just trust us" and that approach is now holed below the waterline. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molotov Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Whose name was the motor home registered to? Surely it would be registered to the SNP? Is there a way to find out? I still don’t understand a purchase of a motor home for political campaigning would be stored on the first ministers mother-in-laws driveway. It looks a mighty fine motor home. Me jealous?

Billy Jean King Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 On 13/04/2023 at 19:45, George Cowley said: As this develops my hot take is that Murrell had the wizard wheeze of spunking the SNP money on the battle bus with the view of then buying it back off the party at a suitably depreciated price once the 2021 election campaign had run its course. That they never got out in it didn’t particularly upset his plan, indeed it likely enhanced it by not having filthy little urchins with their grubby paws all through it. Parked on his maw’s drive it could depreciate quietly without racking up any miles or sticky paw prints to one day be sold off from the Party (to who?!?) at a suitable market value. Criminal, probably not. Sneaky misappropriation of funds, almost certainly. You clearly know very little about the used Camper Van market with that "hot" take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
