How the flock did Hunt ever get himself back into a prime political role.

They've had some smug fu ckers over the years, but thon hunt takes some beating.

"Sniper's dream forehead" 🤣

I remember laughing loudly when I first heard it coined by V57, when describing Shankland in a thread one day. It's a peach of a phrase.

The thoroughly depressing thing is that in comparison to the other Tories around him he almost seems like an elder statesman.
I do say almost but in all reality it's probably "not at all".

Swapped at birth?

My argument was that I had more to align me with, say, a brickie from Sheffield or a joiner from Tyneside than, say, scum like Michael Forsyth and Malcolm Rifkind*.

That was my position too, until I started working with them. Perhaps I’ve just been unlucky but the overwhelming majority I’ve met, have had views that would make a hun blush.

I fell genuinely sorry for the many people in the North of England that aren’t c*nts but it’s their problem to fix, not ours

The candidates themselves were three different flavours of sh1te

Again I find myself agreeing with you. Hobson's choice in the extreme. But this is all part of Sturgeon's legacy. Nobody was allowed to shine or develop under her.. such a megalomaniac was she. Control freakery down to a fine art. And of course tied in with that is the vetting process only Yes Men and Women need apply. and the gerrymandering of the NEC.

The main reason we don't have Independence now is not the result.. But the kind of sh1te we had on display the other night. Unless this changes we will always struggle to win the argument.

Sturgeon has stood down so where are all these bright minds she has stifled?

The point is they never existed in the first place.

We still don't know why the poison dwarf resigned, and none of the media numpties seem to be interested in finding out.

Sturgeon didn't allow people that don't exist to develop?

This sh*t is getting freaky!

It will all come out once the new leader is in place.

It will be like any other organisation where the new leader will look to blame the old leader on all the sh1t that goes wrong, whether that is real world stuff or internal SNP stuff

Because unswerving loyalty to the Murrells meant that anyone with an ounce of nous, or potential for upsetting the iron-rod status quo, wasn’t selected.

Somewhere up there ^^^ I recounted how my friend was beaten by The Party machine (its ‘middle management’ in his words) which had already decided which dull, loyal footsoldier’s turn it was. He was there to make up the numbers, although even I’d have voted for him had he been selected for my constituency.

The MP/MSP caseworker-councillor-parliamentarian route is a better example of a closed shop than 1970s British Leyland. That’s how the thought-free gormless yes-men/women/pick-yer-place-on-the-gender-spectrum tossers and air-headed lobby fodder dicks are in place telling you and me how to run our lives, with hardly an hour of real-life experience or more than a dozen brain cells between them.

It’s a 19th century rotten burgh in fleshly realisation, obvious to a blind person with a glass bool in their erse, but only, it seems, since the she-goddess has fûcked off leaving a sotter with nobody capable of clearing it up. I await the real reasons for her departure with some interest.

You get what you vote for, suckers, and the unimaginative will continue to do so in hope rather than expectation.

Another election next year with fuuck all worth voting for. Ach weel.

Apart from the foregoing, I have no strong feelings on the matter etc.

Yup I can see where I've gone wrong, I'll try again ..People coming into the party did have potential folk like Humza, Mhiari Black, Chris Law, Tommy Shephard and others they were young enthusiastic firebrands. Look at these people now has the fight kicked out of them by Mr & Mrs Murrell tow the party line. Debate policies !!!! ? No No No can have that the Murrells dictate policy. Very quickly these ideological fire brands were ground down and turned into Kevin Stewart clones.

[57vintage]

Kevin Stewart clones.

Fox ache min, you’re scaring me now.

On the other hand, that gives me the seedcorn for a Doctor Who script. I’ll cut you in when it’s commissioned.
