"Gie's Peace". No naw, "gie's" a country that doesn't have the worst drugs death rate in europe and child poverty statistics that'd make a tory blush, you clueless technocratic fucking centrist lying moneyspunking cunts.

I don't find her as funny as some do, but she seems to be decent on Twitter. I know she's trying to be a bit like everyone's aunty in this, I'm not sure how it will go down with the normals. No doubt we'll find out soon.

Also in terms of the politics, I can't deny that the SNP do seem to play on notions of national identity with their campaigning, but it's not that surprising. I honestly think the whole country is stuck until some kind of resolution to the independence issue; people don't seem to want to move until then. Thank fuck Alba are a busted flush at least. I do also find it galling that the unchallenged dominance of the SNP gives dribbling colitic anuses like Jim Slav(er)in an opportunity to pitch his own politics as a fair alternative. Get him right to fuck.

I assume you're talking about the filmmaker/satirist Bonnie Prince Bob. I take it you disapprove of this individual? Not a fan of his work? Do you believe that he should have stayed out of it and allowed Angus Robertson to take the seat uncontested? Do you think people like Bob should, in general, keep out of politics and leave it to the professionals?

I take it you disapprove of this individual? Based on his campaign video, assuming it was for real, yes.
Not a fan of his work? I've only seen that one video.

This is the first I've ever heard of Bonnie Prince Bob so I can't comment on him, but I'm not sure how him not standing would have allowed Robertson to take the seat uncontested. Were the Tories, Labour, Greens and Lib Dems not going to stand until Bob turned up for his 363 votes?

I am relieved that The Sun finally cares about racism.

The Sun is going to be going all out stopping the break up of the union; you'll be seeing this a lot; the same drip drip drip they did with Corbyn but many will just ignore that.

I'm pro-union by the way; not a fan of he SNP either but I also not someone that doesn't ignore what the rightwing is up to when it suits.

Beagle 2

She's an unpleasant loudmouth who muscled her way into a niche, somehow. She's got fuck all to do with the left or independence or anyone else but herself.

Yeah I don't think I've ever found anything she's done remotely funny, but presenting her as a wedge issue in the indy movement is silly.

The Sun on the other hand have no intentions of their own.  It's the same playbook they are just using their new weapon they worked out was successful against Corbyn.

Ah that's good because I didn't.

The Sun did if you read the story because they attached her to the SNP.

Because it's The Scum, here's an archive.is link to that article so they don't make any money.

Incorrect phrasing on my part, should have said "left the established parties to contest the seat amongst themselves" or something. But you're right, he may as well have not bothered - don't run as an independent unless you're absolutely sure you have a chance of winning, is surely the lesson here. But we remember the Guardian had his campaign video pulled off YT for some bogus content violation, so he seemed to have put a bit of wind up someone at least.

I wish! He's funny, clever, handsome and sports a full head of lustrous long hair and a fully-functioning foreskin.

I didn't present her as that. To me, she represents nothing apart from the paucity of ideas and patronising attitude our government have towards us. And anyway, the SNP doesn't seem interested in independence anymore anyway, apart from as a carrot to get votes.

Well, she's been dropped from drapped fae the Covid campaign now anyway. Pure rid neck for Janey Presumably she'll need to pay the 12k back now.

I would rather people who hold transphobic views stay out of politics.
