The Tories.

You're going to have to explain to me how the Conservative and Unionist Party aren't British nationalists, or I'm being whooshed here.

The GCR just seems like a bit of an own goal for the SNP, obviously it was going to be hard to suppress the results if it came out the way they didn't like, but they should have had an inkling before they started it.

Looking at the people who were appointed to the Commission I have no loving idea how they'd not expect this result. It's a bunch of business people and people from the SNP right.

Welcome to socialism in Scotland I guess, we just rotate who's selling the books.

In fairness, it's more just welcome to Trots anywhere in the world. Trots exist to keep the printing industry alive and for no other reason.

I wonder how many MSPs spout this Wings approved alt-right bollocks.

Though I'm impressed she made those comments in 2007. That's ahead of the curve.

He left to stop opposition attacks on the SNP, which were based on his continued membership, and he's crowdfunding as a way to measure his grassroots support, hth.

It's trash, the oval office is plenty well off to pay his own legal fees. "Measure his grassroots support" my arse, commission a poll rather than fleece normal working people.

Those cost money, crowdfunding brings in money.

And Alex Salmond is not a man short on money. quarter of a mil from RT doesn't cover his legal fees plus the apparent "need" to find out public opinion?

No, I find it hard to imagine that an independent Scotland would be a republic in the foreseeable future. SNP are too innately conservative (or at least a chunk of their voters are) to want to bin the Queen as Head of State

The main reason I think is that Brexit has pretty much taken over of the majority of people's attention that Scottish politics isn't getting much attention because nothing noteworthy has appeared. (And if they have, It's poo poo I wouldn't of noticed)

I suppose what we could do is post poo poo about local poo poo if anyone's got them. There has to be something in this boring Country to talk about that isn't Indy/Brexit/Lolcoo Stuart.


lol no they won't.

All Scottish politics are trash until Scotland embraces the light of Corbyn, sorry.

Pretend I'm saying this in a David Attenborough voice

"And here we have the Tartan Tory in their natural habitat, being mad about women & trade unionists."

But for real that is a hilariously authoritarian take.

Someone who pays much closer attention to this than me, what the gently caress is going on with the SNP at the moment? I know there's some infighting because of Salmond being accused of improper behaviour and the resultant handling of that by Sturgeon & co but other than that I hear very little about it. It just seems interesting because it's the first time in decades the SNP actually seem to be airing grievances somewhat in public.

Maybe she’s taking the next round of 2020 qualifiers?

Sorry, I've decided to just pretend that the SFA have withdrawn the men's national team from FIFA in protest at corruption as a form of defence mechanism for how staggeringly rotten they've been for 20 years.

There are no next 2020 qualifiers.

The issue Scotland is going to have is Boris has been elected as a One Nation Tory and he's going to say his massive majority gives him the mandate to maintain the UK as one nation.

Oh aye, One Nation Tory and that nation is England.

I'm glad I gave the Union a last chance, would have preferred to not be hugely let down by it but there you go.

Can't see me mustering up the enthusiasm for the Tartan Tories but give me another referendum and I'll vote for independence.

Someone give me everything I need to know about this so I can bring this up to my mam as an example of the SNP's shiteness. Though actually don't bother, she'll just go "it'll be different under independence" somehow.
