But only on all 3 of the Nicola T-shirts and all the sizes (S, M, L, XL, XXL) as well, simultaneously. Must have been a big order. Was it Randolph Hearst who bought up all the copies of his wife's bad reviews so no one could read them. Similarly I wonder if aaid now has a lifetime supply of Nicky shirts.

The SNP site crashed earlier on with the volume of traffic. Nicola sends her thanks. Edited April 8 by Orraloon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the earlier (Scotsman) poll tried to spin the other way, highlighting Salmond threat to Sturgeon, failing to get SNP majority. So that keeps everyone on their toes in the other direction.

phart Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 That T-shirt has been used so much it's an indication of a cliche not a cult. I've seen it in so many iterations, just put eat sleep repeat into google and you'll see. SNP and ALBA when talking about "cult" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave78 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 3 hours ago, thplinth said: Well that was a very funny and curious little incident. Those T-shirts can only have been removed a few minutes before aaid posted that 'he could not find them'. That was lucky. Just remember aaid, the cover-up is always worse than the crime. T-Shirtgate. The truth is out there. Now that aaid has been outed as running the SNP website, will you admit that you run the Wings Over Scotland website and live in Bath? 😏 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, since I'm the person who came up with the original idea for what must be the biggest selling Tartan Army T-shirt ever, maybe they should get in touch. Do we know what happened - was this genuine or a spoof? I'm normally very sceptical when someone claims they were hacked, but given what's gone on over the last couple of weeks maybe they should be changing all their passwords.

Before anyone slags it off for being shite, I probably agree with you but they did sell thousands of them over the year. In fact I can remember sending a box of 50 to a candidate for the Alba party c/o the Scottish Parliament when he was an MSP for another party. I wasn't suggesting that it hadn't been on the website, rather if it was a "genuine" product or if it was some "defector" who still had access to the site playing silly buggers.

Caledonian Craig Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 This just sums up Scottish Conservatives vision (or lack of it):- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-56674044 Why the flying f*** should Fat Boris be coming up here for a SCOTTISH Election? It has nothing at all to do with him so what the hell is he coming up here for? And why is Ross acting like a directionless fucker whilst we are at it. Grow a pair and run your own campaign on purely SCOTTISH issues. But of course they have no policies. Jeez I'd love them to bomb massively in May and lose second spot to Labour.

It’s actually a great news story - the Scottish Conservatives are totally rudderless. They’ve got a PM that would no doubt love to wade in but is absolutely toxic so sounds like he is staying clear - leaving Ross to implode. It’s remarkable that they’re still sitting in 2nd place, especially after good early showings from Sarwar. It just shows how far Labour had fallen and also how well the Tories had done to catch the unionist vote. I’d be amazed if Labour didn’t take second but the polls aren’t shifting much.

I have to caveat this by saying it's a really low bar but I've been surprised at Sarwar since he became leader. He's coming across really well. The problem he has is that I don't think people are particularly interested in what he's saying, ie., he wants to talk about anything other than the constitution whereas that's the dominant fault line in Scottish politics.
