Why is she not being asked to pay the £15k herself? 🤔Could it be because she’s from Westminster & not Holyrood, obviously standards & behaviour expectations are a lot lower in the Westminster cesspit so £15000 doesn’t quite reach the press’s character attack & slaughter criteria 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still makes the odd wee contradictive or condescending comment. The callers were ok but the guy in Greenock thought the SNP were happy to have WM as a grievance. Not sure that's fully plausible given how frustrating it must be to work within that slow and dysfunctional system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I quite like him too even though I think he sometimes likes the sound of his own voice too much ( irony alert ! ) and can in general be a bit condescending. I posted this mainly because at that time I had only just heard what Keith Brown had said and there are/were a few posters on here who have in the past said we should just forget about WM. I personally do not think its a good idea to not take seats there, much as I detest the place, I think that would backfire massively with the public . I thought all the callers were pretty articulate even if I didn’t agree with them on this, and it was a pleasant experience to have an interviewer give pro independence folk an opportunity to get their point across without constantly butting in . I know James O’brien has bigger fish to fry and is probably paying a bit of lip service but at least he is allocating time to the situation and providing some media balance . My own MP I think is exasperated, I don’t think some people realise how frustrating it must be. Folk who seem to think they all just swan about down there, there are actually some really hard working MPs. . The other parties were happy to accommodate the SNP years ago when there were about 3 of them and posed little threat , but I think it must be like working in a vipers nest these days. And we wonder why nobody wants to get into politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StirlingEgg Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 That's the Maybot away now. I wish one day these folk would admit their ideology has failed. She only looks better now because her successors have been horrendous so a very low bar. Hopefully they won't pay tribute to her as though she was a well loved dinner lady. Her 'hostile environment' isn't something to celebrate nor was she a 'safe pair of hands'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her 'hostile environment' isn't something to celebrate nor was she a 'safe pair of hands'. She was only marginally less awful than her immediate successors, I would say. Bequeathed a respectable majority by Cameron, she could have got her softer Brexit plan through the HoC but instead, stupidly and unnecessarily, called a general election, where she lost her majority - even losing ground to the hopeless Jeremy Corbyn - and ending up in hock to the nutters of the DUP. This led to years of gridlock, which in turn led to her position as PM becoming untenable, Boris Johnson succeeding her as PM, a Tory majority government full of clowns, a hard Brexit and a shambolically managed health pandemic, all of which have been disastrous for her country and could possibly see her party out of office for a decade!

I shudder to think what kind of party they will be on their return. Should really be a fringe group but they must have plenty of financial backing. GB News, Liz Truss, Talktv etc would otherwise have sank without a trace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
