Flynn has achieved nothing whatsoever in England, so what is he possibly going to achieve up here...another SNP devolutionist/trougher trying to jump on the Holyrood gravy train. https://news.sky.com/story/snp-mp-stephen-flynn-will-not-seek-dual-mandate-to-become-msp-13258251 Post Edited (Sat 23 Nov 19:02) Reply |

Author: Tenruh Date: Sat 23rd Nov 2024. 19:43 Andrew283, Sat 23 Nov 19:14 Must be hard to take when you`ve been lied to for 10 years and you still don`t realise it`s happening..and to make it worse anyone else who takes a stand to forward independence is vilified. Just keep voting for the same troughers for another ten years and you`ll be in denial then also...unless of course they are liquidated That said their buddies down south might bale them out because let's face it, it keeps independence neutered.

I assume you`ll be equally scathing if Hanvey or MacAskill, who both achieved nothing down in England, stand for election to Holyrood next year. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 10. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 23rd Nov 2024. 20:32 Are all the podcasters, commentators, etc who make a living out of pontificating on independence and Scottish politics in general `troughers` too? What have they achieved in 10 years? Are they devolutionists too because Holyrood gives them something to talk about? Reply |
| 11. Author: Tenruh Date: Sat 23rd Nov 2024. 20:44 The One Who Knocks, Sat 23 Nov 20:13 I think you`ll find both left the SNP because of the failure to move independence forward, so no they don`t fall into the same category as the party for independence/devolution.

I`ve never bought a MSM rag since September 2014 and I think I`ve saved around £6500..would that be right? Reply |
| 13. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 23rd Nov 2024. 21:33 I`ve no idea how you would calculate that...and some folk don`t bother to vote. Reply |
| 14. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Sun 24th Nov 2024. 09:19 My old man is quite respected in the legal sector for his specialisation and has encountered McAskill a good few times. Apparently it is quite widely known in that world that he was partial to a drink and many of his peers considered him unfit for the post of Justice Minister. Personally I think Joanna Cherry or Alyn Smith with their legal backgrounds would be the best choice to take the SNP and Independence cause forward with Flynn being a potential successor. Kate Forbes with her religious views should be nowhere near high office. Personally, I agree with Tenruh that the SNP need to get their house in order, but it seems he doesn`t want to accept that to do that they will have to take a step back and get a grip of the issues in public services to regain credibility. The SNP have fumbled the ball too often, such as with the currency issue in 2014 - the answer should have been that the public will vote on Euro vs Scottish Pound within 90 days of a yes vote. Moreover though, there is no legal barrier to using Sterling for a transition period or longer of so desired because it is a freely trade able currency. And then there is the Glasgow-centric public services that we now have and the education system that really didn`t need the reforms that were put in place. Sentences for violent crime need to be greatly increased as well. These are the issues that need sorted out before Independence can take centre stage again. The current Labour Government`s incompetence is a gift for them, so they really have to seize on this opportunity. Show progress on that front and use the weakness of the UK economy as an argument that Scotland must rejoin the EU single market. The UK will of course refuse to give Scotland a Northern Ireland style deal and it will highlight both their Imperialist mindset and economic incompetence to the Scottish electorate. Reply |

Author: Tenruh Date: Sun 24th Nov 2024. 10:38 hurricane_jimmy, Sun 24 Nov 09:19 The infiltration is in too deep for the SNP to recover...they think they are the Independence movement in Scotland,and refuse to work with other Indy groups . The individuals named above are all dead wood none of them will ever lead the independence movement as they all sat back watching Sturgeon and her cohorts destroy all the work done before her. Be in no doubt she has destroyed the Independence movement for generations. Reply |
| 16. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 24th Nov 2024. 11:39 You seem to be contradicting yourself. You say the SNP are not the independence movement and then you say Nicola Sturgeon has destroyed the independence movement for generations. I don`t think around 50% of the electorate who still favour independence would agree with you. Reply |
| 17. Author: Tenruh Date: Sun 24th Nov 2024. 13:20 wee eck, Sun 24 Nov 11:39 Sorry about the wording if it appears a contradiction to you, Sturgeon has destroyed the SNP . Doesn`t concern me one jot if 50% or 5% agree with me or not, the reality is Sturgeon and Lloyd have driven a wedge right through the Independence movement and sadly you won`t see independence in your lifetime because of them. Hopefully I`ve not contradicted myself any further. Post Edited (Sun 24 Nov 20:13) Reply |
