121. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 9th Sep 2025. 08:00 Lorna Slater is Green, not SNP. Point on the Daily Mail was they reported in Isla Burton like it was in relation to the GRA. 1. The act was never implemented. 2. The SPS already had a process for handling trans prisoners. They`ve had it for years. The only bad thing regarding that situation was that idiot Sturgeon commenting when it was an SPS matter, not a Scottish Government one! Tbh, I would`ve gone more on the ferry fiasco than any of the above. The biggest cock up has been the National Care Service though. However, that failed largely because of the likes of Jackie Baillie and Sandesh Gullane. Hopefully they can retire into obscurity knowing they intentionally sabotaged a plan for better social care outcomes so they could continue their woeful political careers. Reply |
122. Author: NMCmassive Date: Tue 9th Sep 2025. 12:34 Lorna Slater had the full backing of the SNP. Humza came out and fully supported her. The SNP have been financially supporting stonewall for years and giving them access to people they never should have. The Transwomen prisoners thing was a window into what has been happening. I purposefully didn’t mention the ferries because it’s to easy, everyone seems to know about it but they don’t seem to know about other things. I stopped at 5 and kept it within the last 5 or so years. How much do you think there could be if you were to take the time to look through it. Some of the worst has been with our education system. It’s been in free fall for years. While we face some of the toughest challenges in our nations history, John Swinney has shouted about independence, Trans rights and raised a Palestine flag. Since 2015 elections, the only thing they’ve got to shout about is a baby box while controversy after controversy piles up. Time for a change. COYP Reply |
123. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 9th Sep 2025. 12:54 The thing is, folk in Scotland see what`s happening in other parts of the UK and it`s not any better. in some respects it`s worse. It can`t be all the SNP`s fault. Would another party in charge at Holyrood make any difference? Reply |

125. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 9th Sep 2025. 17:56 Tenruh, Tue 9 Sept 13:00 There aren`t any. Labour are hopeless Lib Dems are led by a clown and just sit on the fence Tories - LOL Alba - Mega LOL Greens - Might be better with the new leadership but not sure. As much at the SNP aren`t great, at least they try things and don`t always pussy foot around. Reply |

You can dismiss them in Scotland but you might get a wee surprise for all the reasons you give above. Reply |
129. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 9th Sep 2025. 22:25 Reform? Yeah, they might get a few seats from the local bampots and Rangers supporters. However, if people think the SNP are useless, I`m unsure why anyone more intelligent than a bowl of porridge would vote for them given how utterly hopeless they`ve been in England! Reply |
130. Author: NMCmassive Date: Tue 9th Sep 2025. 23:17 Reform are growing in England. Tories and Labour haven’t just dropped the ball, they’ve kicked it every time they’ve bent over to try pick it up. Immigration is obviously an issue that they’ll never deal with (I think it’s tied to the nations finances but I’m not settled on that yet) I don’t see reform having much influence up here (just don’t see Farage ever being popular enough this side of the border) but if things keep going, their influence-or someone else’s- will grow.

131. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Tue 9th Sep 2025. 23:59 The numbers in Scotland are fairly cemented and have been for many years. SNP will get around the same seats give or take a few as they have done for over a decade. Greens will get their usual spattering and the unionist votes will just split up between the various parties. Rangers fans and staunch unionists will most likely go to whoever is most likely to challenge the SNP. In this case it will mirror the rest of the uk and reform may get a slight bit more than the Tories and Labour. The only thing SNP should worry about is a low turnout and complacency. Reform voters will most certainly turn out but I look forward to the civil war breaking out between the unionist parties in any case. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte ![]() Reply |
132. Author: NMCmassive Date: Wed 10th Sep 2025. 10:49 I tend to agree. The Scottish election will end up being much of the same. If the status quo persists though, the election after should be more interesting. COYP Reply |

135. Author: Jimmy riddell Date: Wed 10th Sep 2025. 13:50 Ginge has gone. The Prince of Darkness will be next. His love of power and wealth has caught up with him once again. Another case of Starmer’s poor judgement in who he promotes to key roles. Reply |

Does anybody mind of Farage taking the hump and walking out of a BBC Good Morning Scotland radio interview a while back - maybe 10 (?) or more years ago ? This was when he was still a relatively minor player on the political stage and visited up here only to be met by a "robust" welcoming group objecting to his presence !!! Gary Robertson, who is a past master at getting under politicians` skins, was giving him a rough time and eventually Nigel took it personally and did a runner - great entertainment - I wonder if BBC archives have access ?
