Scary Bear Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I’m watching him now on some Sunday breakfast politics type show and he’s just an absolute charisma vacuum. So dull. He’s talking about cohesion in the party. He is so dull. And bald. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Aye, much better if he was a dancing fool like Boris, a parroting Anas, or a bumbling Dross. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Go back to 2021 and tell the Covid thread that the baldy, specky tube will be FM within three years. What a time we're living in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagar Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 With all the extremism, hysteria and downright disgusting nature of politics, I think dull is what we need right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) Swinney is the steady hand that the party needs right now, there will be in time a more dynamic leader a la Sturgeon but right now what we need is stability and a rebuilding of trust and unity at Holyrood and Swinney will provide that. On the same programme this morning Geissler made a twat of Andrew Bowie, or should I say that Bowie made a twat of himself. Significant that he was unopposed for FM.

ScotiaNostra Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 boring and doing the job well is fine, so if he does a good job in the 2 years hes going to be in role then its fine. It does seem though that hes had the job lumbered on him and I dont think he wanted the role I think its been forced on him to some extent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I think there’s a bit of a misconception sometimes with these bland technocrats. Very often we see a politician with a boring, uncharismatic persona and we mistake that for competence. I’m not saying Swinney isn’t competent (although his performance in the pandemic left a lot to be desired), and he deserves every chance to prove himself, but we shouldn’t automatically assume he’s a “safe pair of hands” just because he’s a bit dull. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
