TDYER63 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 2 hours ago, King Of Paisley said: The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever being one, a wise man once said A very true statement. Even folk who start out with good intentions inevitably get sucked into the shit. Why anyone would want to be a politician is beyond me.Ā However we are stuck with what we have and I dont see many realistic alternatives . Comparing Alex Salmonds achievements to Nicola Sturgeons ( not you ) is not particularly helpful. Ā They led in completely different times and had Ā different obstacles to overcome . Salmond did really well and made real improvements, though I imagine even the Lib Dems would have been an improvement on the previous Labour government at that time. Sturgeon took over the job at a time where Scottish politics was split down the middle and the SNP a far greater threat . Political opponents are less likely to play ball. And like it or not the world is becoming more āwokeā. The things that are happening in many large companies are all getting geared towards these ideologies.Ā Its fine to criticise though , we are paying the governments wages and have every right to, and there is plenty to criticise Ā . But its not a job I would want and I doubt many on here would either.Ā I do agree with those who feel the SNP votes will be affected badly unless things improve.Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye yer right, passions will settle doon a bit but i do think she has burned many bridges that will take a while to rebuild as ever. Ā i took aaid into it as she has took aim at me over and over again for voicing any concerns.

exile Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 According to SAGE (reported in various sources): āThe earlier interventions happen, and the more stringent they are, the more likely they are to be effective.ā āEarlier interventions can produce the same or greater effect at lower stringency and applied for a shorter duration than interventions that come late.ā Presumably this is intended for the ears of the UK Government (and public), and implies it's still worth doing.

Ā Its how i decide how a party is doing, council by elections are brilliant for this, it gives trends, moods and turnouts, yes obviously it does not show the whole picture it does give an indication of the mood that was a key indicator when we got humped when TM called a snap election..you can easily keep your fingers in the ears, i wontĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
