The post isn't really about you, and wouldn't be even if you personally were a crofter from Skye. The point is that rural affairs shouldn't be seen as a massive demotion equivalent to being sacked, especially to an MSP who made being from outwith the Central Belt a bit part of platform, alongside attacking the record of the new First Minister repeatedly and talking about how she's stalwart against any social progress. It's dumb. Land reform is a huge part of the brief, and is something the Nats need to do much more on, for example.

I just hope there's no place for my MSP Fergus Ewing in the cabinet.

Your main point is fine but it came across as very true Scotsplaining to me last night which is the sort of thing that massively pushes my identity politics buttons. Let's face it though you have no idea what my background is and things were all getting a bit McSuacey yesterday evening with the football.

My point is not that rural affairs isn't important, it's that the fact she decided to choose her pride and faction over that brief shows that the SNP are very much a house divided. Even when I worked for MSPs over a decade ago before the SNP took power it was widely accepted that their politics was all over the shop and most of them wouldn't be in the party without the one driving single issue. Since then they've attracted every careerist going while wallpapering over the back end. The cracks are showing now and I think it's going to get worse for them not better for a good while at least.

And how many brown M&Ms did he ask for?
Saw him in a stage play Prisoner Cell Block H in around 28 years ago, hilarious.
Sad he's gone but obviously never encountered him in real life.

Meanwhile watching BBC news for the first time in years while waiting to check out of hotel and they're talking about the NHS satisfaction survey. Satisfaction has plummeted so why aren't the BBC saying why that is: 13 years of Tories shovelling tax money to their mates and Tories deliberately crapping the service to pave the way for privatisation which absolutely will not be better but will give Tories lucrative positions on private healthcare' boards.
For Tories also read Wes Streeting.

Paul O Grady being a diva is unsurprising.

Still a good egg though. Especially when that diva-ness was used for good.

If Corbyn had come out saying he liked chess journalists would have spent the entire day calling him an elitist pseudo intellectual ghoul, before doing a deep dive on whether he did actually like it.

In good news, a right wing extremist was caught and investigated by the authorities for terrorism offences.

Of course that might have had something to do with the fact that he was a UK national who decided to do his crimes in Ireland.

It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

To me pepsi max tastes insanely sweet, sweeter than the actual sugared drink. To the point it makes me feel ill. I wonder do they taste the same across the world, or even europe? Are there regional variatons?

Knowing chess doesn't mean you're actually good at anything else. Case in point my brother in law, 40 years old lives at home with his dad, was legally declared not fit to handle his own business and has a caretaker to handle his money for him since he kept giving it away to people in chat rooms pretending to be hot asian women who needed travel fare to come see him.

His dad once arranged a marriage for him too, since he's the only son. Alas she dumped him as soon as she got citizenship and married the first best balding finnish engineer she found.

I'm beginning to think people taste artificial sweeteners in different ways. Coke Zero tastes so weird compared to regular Coke to me. I'm sure I could tell them apart 100% of the time in a blind taste test.

WHAT? She got 56% last time out, to the Tories 19.3%. On the list vote the Greens got 9.2% of the vote in her constituency And of the 9 council wards that make up Skye, Lochaber & Badenoch? 3 have Green councillors.
