Amazing what a good leader will achieve with 29 seats when the previous leader (dictator)over the last 3 elections gained 56, 36 and 48 seats and achieved sfa....thanks Mr Swinney for turning it around 😀 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/ov4zdnmm2oraekcf/ Post Edited (Thu 27 Jun 08:04) Reply |

Author: wee eck Date: Thu 27th Jun 2024. 11:38 Some light relief in the Guardian - Even during a general election campaign with projections of historic – even unprecedented – results, people cannot always be relied upon to give their full attention. “We met a guy who said he was going to vote Labour but wouldn’t now because he had just heard that we were taxing condoms,” said Labour’s Karl Turner, who was first voted in as the MP for Hull East in 2010 and is standing for re-election this time. “I said, ‘condoms?’ ‘Yeah,’ he said: ‘I just heard on that [pointing to the TV] that you are taxing condoms, and I’m not having it. You’re not getting my vote.’ It was Terence [Turner’s parliamentary assistant] here who worked it out. “‘We’re taxing non-doms, not condoms,’ I said. ‘Oh,’ he said. ‘Like the prime minister’s wife? Ah.’ He calls out: ‘Margaret: they’re taxing non-doms, not condoms.’” Reply |

| 211. Author: Wotsit Date: Sun 30th Jun 2024. 15:50 Where do you get your political analysis from ? Mainly from dead people like Goldman and Proudhon but also some nearly dead people like Chomskey and, to a lesser extent, žižek. The dead ones obviously didn`t use Facebook as a platform, but žižek would I suppose. I didn`t look, never do and never would, so was it žižek you linked?

| 214. Author: Tenruh Date: Sun 30th Jun 2024. 22:14 jake89, Sun 30 Jun 20:53 Where does the article blame Lesbians ? Or is that selective reading on your part. Reply |
| 215. Author: jake89 Date: Sun 30th Jun 2024. 23:40 "travelling squad of Scottish lesbians". It`s right to there in the middle. Maybe get your reading specs. Reply |
| 216. Author: Tenruh Date: Mon 1st Jul 2024. 05:43 jake89, Sun 30 Jun 23:40 Suppose Wotsit's point is confirmed here. A good article explaining how the SNP were captured by a small high up clique, run as a dictatorship to the detriment of the members and independence . These individuals are now hanging on but this coming election and the Scottish Parliament 2026 election will hopefully rid Scotland of them and the rebuilding of Independence starts.

| 217. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Mon 1st Jul 2024. 08:50 Tenruh, Mon 1 Jul 05:43 Rebuilding of Independence under who? Labour? Reform? Lib Dems? Tell me, how on earth is Unionist parties winning in Scotland the driving force for independence? Reply |
| 218. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 1st Jul 2024. 09:31 So you`re now accepting, Tenruh, that the article states the issue was/is(?) a group of lesbians? This sort of nonsense masks a valid point - independence has been overshadowed by other policy areas. Reply |
| 219. Author: Tenruh Date: Mon 1st Jul 2024. 09:39 Dave_1885, Mon 1 Jul 08:50 There`s no doubt about it, it`s definitely a mess...as long as the SNP are not going to work with other Indy minded parties, we`re going nowhere. Why do you think it`s come to this ? Asked a hundred times already and no answer given, Labour were wiped out of Scotland in 2015, 9 years later, and they`ll probably have more Scottish MPs than the SNP. How did that happen? I attended an SNP conference in 2017, and in the background, there was a screen telling the attendees that the membership was at 126,000+ members. Where are they folks now? The SNP need swept aside to let something else grow in their place because they are the gate keepers blocking Scotlands drive to independence. Lastly, why over the last 5 years when we`ve had 46 SNP MPs and achieved nothing can John Swinney promise independence if the snp get 29 MPs this time ? Reply |
| 220. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Mon 1st Jul 2024. 09:54 The snp had been working with other independence minded parties but you seemed to not like their coalition with the greens. You keep going on about how a Sturgeon led snp wiped out labour in 2015. 2015 wasn`t the end of history. In 2010 general election Gordon Browns labour party almost wiped out the Salmond led snp. Things change and the sentiment of voters are built on shifting sands. Nobody, not Swinney, not Salmond or whoever can promise independence because it isn`t in their hands to deliver it. It`s up to the people to want it. If everybody that voted snp or the greens or alba took to the streets and marched on Holyrood on a specific day to demand a referendum then Westminster would be forced to act. That ain`t going to happen though. Not when their is football to watch and latest series to binge on netflix. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
