While I'm all for political parties being legally bound by their campaign or fundraising promises, somehow I don't think this level of scrutiny will be applied to other parties.

Darth Walrus posted:You absolutely, 100% sure this isn't just Westminster exploiting the SNP's change of leadership to try to cripple their last remaining serious opposition with a politically-motivated investigation/arrest? We're still continuing to learn more about the insanely dodgy bullshit the British establishment and its institutions pulled against Corbyn's Labour, and the Nats, being an openly secessionist party with (by definition) little English representation) have even less protection of legitimacy than they did. Policing is devolved to Scotland. This is just good old fashioned crimes.

The Scottish Government have full control of police funding and Scots Law has been devolved since the Acts of Union. This is actually an act of independence supporting friendly fire, as the misappropriated 500K was originally reported to the police by Sean Clerkin of Scottish Resistance fame.

JoylessJester posted:Can I start a against the Labour party for all the money the redirected away from the 2017 election? Tik, tok. Although being more serious it depends what that money was used for. One of the issues I think you'll have is that Labour raised a lot of money nationally so it could go to any of their campaigns. There are national spending limits on constituencies so it would be a case of showing they were breached if they were.

Honestly not much friendly about the split in the yes movement. Cracking article at the weekend from my own MSP & Grade A oval office Fergus Ewing who clearly took Kate Forbes loss well & has decided the Nats need to get out of the government with the Greens. “I hope for the sake of the party I have served for half a century that we will soon extricate ourselves from this connection with a party which is not so much green but deepest red – of the extreme left." Ross Greer of the Greens, a good egg, suggested Ewing was “so far to the right he’d make Boris Johnson blush”. & that "his brand of conservative politics make him indistinguishable from the Tories on most issues, so if it’s a return to the frontbench he’s angling for then he probably stands a better chance with his dear friend Douglas Ross than he does with this progressive Government, which he so clearly despises." Which is fair, Ewing personifies not just Tartan Tory but also nepo-baby

Sleeping bags chat: From what I gather from a friend who is a former MP, quite a few MPs keep sleeping bags & camp beds in their offices, usually those who live a commutable distance from Westminster but occasionally miss the last train - whether from late sittings or too much taxpayer-subsidised drink in the bars. Anyway, I consider myself a genius: the incomprehensible SSE Business Energy bill for our flats came in on Friday based on estimates. I called on Monday with customer readings and also added them on to my spreadsheet. The new bill was just issued and my estimate on my s/sheet is just 1p out! (On net £567 bill).

A plastic fan is one who supports a team in their league over their home team, usually because it's more prestigious. As an Indian he has no home team to support, so he can't be a plastic (although he might still be a glory hound). E: and Mr Banerjee is especially correct about Man United fans. As the joke goes, how many Man U fans does it take to change a light bulb? Two - one to change the bulb, the other to drive him up from Surrey.

The Indian league system is about to have 10 tiers, with the Super League at the top with 12 clubs, then the I-League's 1 & 2 before getting to regional divisions. There's a team in the top 3 tiers in most parts of India, Gujarat & Uttar Pradesh seems a bit lacking. That said, also it's the 21st century, football is on the telly from everywhere. I got no problem with people having a 2nd team in a foreign land.

had our unison branch meeting today and basically. yeah. the NHS pay deal isn't great. but if we say no then what. we did a poo poo job of getting people to strike the first time round and there's no reason we'll be any better this time. deadline to vote is friday next week, will probably wait until then to see if anything new comes out. but a few members did feel kinda pissed that the messaging from unions has been VOTE FOR THIS. OR YOU'LL GET JACK poo poo (but we will be holding a vote about it) organising in the NHS is loving hard because you're trying to lead hundreds of tired horses to water while also having a job which is also very loving stressful and made hard by the reasons you're trying to strike in the first place it just feels like poo poo having the tories' boot on our neck for an eternity and having to be grateful for the scraps and whatever you do will be spun to make poo poo harder for you down the line i'm so tired

Voting No was pretty easy, imo You just have to click the button [edit] The point I've made to others is that this is the same messaging we got from the unions with the 2018 pay deal. "This is a good deal and you should accept it" - it got accepted and then, oh look, when people did the sums it turns out it was a poo poo deal. Bad enough that heads rolled at the RCN. If we keep accepting poo poo deals from the government, the only message they learn is that they can keep offering us poo poo and we'll eventually accept it. If the unions can't get a better deal than that, then we need better unions. kingturnip fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Apr 5, 2023 |
