Sturgeonland

[TheDeeDon]

Beyond having a desire to see Scotland independent, I have no affinity with any political party or politician.
Sturgeon, on a personal level she doesn't bother me.
She's made mistakes, but she was right in what she said in her leaving speech.
She polarises and floating voters have views formed on her.
Irrespective of policy, ethos, leadership.....they'll never "float" towards the SNP while she leads.
The fight for independence will be a game of inches.
It's sad that politics has morphed into a vitriolic x-factor type affair, but the soundbite, and delivery thereof, trump policy now.

But imy personal assessment of Sturgeon is, she seems to really boil the p1ss of the right people which gives her currency.

Well put. Pretty much my views, but with better grammar.

Got to be her. She’s also Scottish and a woman

She also has short hair, so got to be.

Wonder if they chose the discreet setting of the Balmoral Hotel for this secret lesbian affair? That way, nobody would find out

According to the internet, Mrs Krankie has a French girlfriend. Although maybe not any more after she threw an iron at her. Allegedly.

My grammar are sometimes OK.
Unpredictable.

I Googled that thread and an SNP supporter, Colin Sim, said:

“Lived in Scotland all of my 54 years. Supported the SNP most of my life, even stood as a candidate for the SNP many years ago, before they were a credible leadership option. Did support independence but don’t any more. Not at this time anyway.
What you need to understand about the SNP is that they are utterly, blindly and pathologically led by the desire for Independence. This is a problem because it colours everything else they do. Right now, we need a Scottish government who are focused on the basics. We’re coming out of the back of a global pandemic, the UK has just left the EU and the SNP can’t even sort out reliable ferries for our islands. Roads are full of holes, council services are being cut so badly one questions what they actually still do, the Scottish NHS is not great. Drugs deaths are off the chart, police are more concerned about being politically correct than crime and our school kids are being forced extreme left-wing ideology while literacy rates fall. What are they doing a good job of? Propaganda and self promotion. People love Sturgeon and are seemingly oblivious to her failings. They’ve managed to align themselves so strongly with Scottish identity that it is seen as unpatriotic to not support them. Well I like being Scottish, I like being British and I don’t care if Comrade Sturgeon likes the English or not. What I do care about is having an effective government in Scotand at this critical time in our history and the SNP is not it”.

Sentence 5 is the most interesting.

I know nothing of Krankie’s ***uality though.

"SNP supporter, Colin Sim"

Oh aye?

"Did support independence but don’t any more"

No, no quite right.

"They’ve managed to align themselves so strongly with Scottish identity that it is seen as unpatriotic to not support them."

Jeez, where do you start with this shyte?

Sorry. Wasn't aimed at you.

Best to ignore it, as really only for the feeble minded and gullable.

SNP want independence shock. Whoever would have thought that.

[Mason89]

It’s a good example of what I’m always going on about. The overwhelming majority of people that read that, will instantly recognise it as shyte. Enough don’t though, to make it worthwhile. If you’re capable of swallowing that, you’ll swallow anything. That’s when the real fun starts
