The Scottish Politics thread

[Coatigan]

An SNP member of parliament has just stood up in Westminster and used the word ' polis ' instead of Police.
The Scottish Ned Party right enough.

Quality Polis?

 

[Coatigan]

……….because the SNP weren’t actually hardcore enough for him in delivering independence!

Hence the old saying, careful what you wish for.

Today’s the day. Allegedly.

It’s a mess all right. I’m still waiting to see what charges are brought. Likely to be multiple murder at least given the visibility of the police operation.
the thing is, even if the SNP disintegrate into a wet puddle on the floor, the demand for independence won’t. Some folk think they are the same thing. They aren’t.

Massive damage being done to the cause for independence. The SNP were the flag bearers for it. They are now in such a mess it is staggering. I've never been a fan of Sturgeon and her blame politics but I'm shocked at the position she and the SNP now find themselves in. At best it looks like there has been some very creative accounting going on at worst theft and fraud and possible jail time awaits for some people.

Hmm, some people high up have jumped the gun today. Oh well, just a little bit longer.

Sorry Nicola, I’ve never been a fan I will admit but trying to claim she had no idea what was about too unfold when she quit is about as blatant a lie as is possible to tell and she is far better than that.

She is a fat batter ? What's one of those?

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Imagine the outcry on here if Johnson was found using party funds to buy himself a motorhome.

Its incredible that they actually thought this wouldnt be picked up by auditors. You couldn't make this story up if you tried.

Scottish, they even Batter their Batter. Like a double Malt.

Far better lol

Sturgeon was always a dodgy bugger as far as I am concerned, she pulled the wool over a lot of people’s eyes.

Interesting little about turn from Beattie today - first he says that he knew nothing about the motor home, then he decides that he did know about it when he signed off on the accounts.

I wonder who jogged his memory, and changed his recollection?

It’s almost like there’s some sinister figure in the background, pulling the strings and doing their best not to get their own collar felt!

It’s simply not believable I’m afraid.

Weeks of silence, knew nothing and all of a sudden he does and it was no bought as a campaign battle bus apparently….

Thank fuck her mother in law had space on her drive for it eh?

Why do we need to imagine the outcry on here if Johnson did something similar? His Partygate defence was payed by the taxpayer, his holidays are payed by Tory donors and he accepts gifts left, right and centre in return for favours. We already know.

Can’t the SNP be dodgy as fuck without being compared to someone even dodgier?

It's just a comparison, it's disappointed me immensely what the SNP has apparently done.

The thread is full of comedians all of a sudden.

Ah well, makes a nice change from the usual rinse repeat cliches.
