That Jute cúnt Flynn then? Another cronyist careerist who’s only ever ‘worked’ in the political bubble, with a superiority complex (based on the insecurity of nae being fed from his ma’s paps) like Sturgeon in a suit.

“I’m proud to have canvassed around Aberdeen wearing a Dundee United shirt. Fúckin dick.

Wrong ‘un. Kick him in the *******s.

I did say the msm, not the Courier.

You didn't get the memo then?
He's FM in waiting.

He probably is the next FM to be fair. He'll continue in the line of previous glove puppet FMs, controlled by London head office.

I’ve little interest in SNP machinations but anybody I know who’s dealt with Flynn as a constituent MP can’t speak highly enough of him. He’s helped a few friends and family out.

Mate went to his surgery, Flynn passed his issue to staff who got in touch with council/police/social etc and it was sorted in few weeks.
He only met Flynn that once. Jump forward 9 months later and he’s stood on Union Street (nae doobt outside The Grill) when Flynn passes, stops, addresses him by name, introduces his family to him and checks everything is still ok.

Aye ok maybe recall and name retention is just a politicians skill but nae many of them would have bothered.

So, doing his job, then?

He’s well-paid so to do.

He’s an arrogant jute prÃ*ck.

You never dealt with Anne Begg then?

Now that was hard work. She was the type of Labour MP who f*cked over the good people of Torry for years.

I can't comment on Flynn, as haven't stayed in Torry for years and only know of him from what I see on TV.

He seems far from the worst, leaving his fitba team aside.

Each to their own though.

So politics aside, fas gan tae see Oasis???

No, me neither.

It goes to show how much of a mess modern music is in, when kids I work with who weren't even a tickle in their fathers balls when they broke through, are clamoring to see them, as they think they are brilliant. My youngest is one of them.

Don't get me wrong, they were ace when they first broke through and gave a fairly staid music industry a kick up the @rse in the mid 90s with their attitude, but being honest their music was never really anything that hadn't been done before.

I gave up on them when I heard the song Champagne Supernova. Gadz!

Did I ever mention the time Liam dedicated Supersonic to me & Noel nicked my carry out? I’m sure I did

These days I’d shut the curtains if they were playing in my back garden

No, do tell how that come about.

Assuming it was before they went big

I only hope none of the cool Britannia shyte starts again now Labour is in power and son of a Toolmakers, cementing his place amongst the Blairites by getting his picture with Noel.

Ms Begg was never my MP, (it was Malcom Savidge with whom I had a public spat at a hustings meeting when he denied that Prescott had ever undertaken to re-nationalise the railways) although she did visit my workplace once as she was formerly a teacher in the building which had been re-purposed. She came across as Blairite lobby fodder.

The question that remains unanswered, and by fùck, I’ve posed it often enough, is, “If a UK PM were to say tomorrow, “OK. Have independence - which of the SNP stalwarts would you send in to negotiate it?”

Angus Robertson and his self-declared towering intellect? Energy Minister Gillian Martin, currently back-pedalling although she’s forgotten her bike, as the environment we’re doing our bit to save is thoroughly wrecked by the proliferation of grid improvement gubbins from 200m+ pylons, intrusive and combustion-prone BESS paraphernalia which rather than being utilised to ‘store surplus energy to feed into the grid’ will only be deployed thus when the unit price is sufficient for the capitalist savages to add to their profits etc. The ex-social worker Robison, whose brains are matched by her articulacy? Swinney himself who is desperate to get the fùck out of the sotter he’s inherited and helped create? Joanna Cher….oh hang on… Michael Matheson, on Zoom(er) via iPad from the beach? Graeme ‘Groundhog’ Dey, who has been invisible from his job in sorting out the FE lecturers’ long struggle for fair reward and who’ll retire before he’s found out further by 2026 and count his parachute payment? Flynn, whose sub-Salmond cock-of-the-midden act and façade of certainty will be as easily removed by hard-nosed opponents as his hair and the Jutes from the Premiership? John Mason’s probably got as much chance of success as any of the on-message, intellect-free cronies as any.

Ever felt you’ve been cheated? “Gullible” doesn’t appear in any major dictionary, apparently.
