Sturgeonland

[Shetland Don]

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

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.

"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."

Colin Sim is quite a character, Wonder how he got through the SNP vetting procedure and be able to stand as a Candidate, Tell me Colin why do you think the SNP exists and why they were formed ? I dunno says Colin but I don't like their utterly, blindly and pathologically desire for Independence says he.


..look I I like being British and Scottish I suppose but if we do get Independence would I still be able to be British ..asks Colin,


What a nonsense post.. Does Colin Sim even exist ? If he does he's a mighty confused loon and I bet he worships a photie of Joe Grimond and keeps it in his inside pocket along with his copy of classical Grammar for smart @rses Colin Sim eh.

And its Scotland not Scotand tut tut Colin.

I’ve been at this game a while noo (1970 was my first active election campaign), hence the knowledge and the strong disdain I have for contemporary wishy-washy politicians (a) pretending to be radical (b) churning out glib pish for the sheep (c) the banality of their social media posturings.

Other than those expressed above, I have no strong feelings on the matters under discussion.
