Joanne cherry writes explosive tell all on the SNP

I actually agree with you on this, plus the assumption of mainstream. I have no idea why you have been horrible to and about me on this thread considering we have agreed about many things on other threads.

However, that’s something you have to consider.

I posted a crowd funder thing for you earlier for the alliance that Eva is standing under but it was deleted.

She’s a founder of Liberate Scotland, so if you google it, you’ll find it.

She’s standing on both votes.

Best of luck.

What I have seen online and in real life is that certain groups have latched onto the SNP because they think that they can manipulate that party. The tail has very much been wagging the dog.

At one point, the SNP government agreed to certain policies in order to retain the support of the Greens. The problem seems to be that once it sets a course, it finds it impossible to turn around.

Very similar happened with the Curriculum for Excellence. It was originally put in place by Scottish Labour, but when teaching professionals told the SNP that it needed to be scrapped the SNP government simply doubled down.

Lockdown made the problems with newer iteration of Higher and the National qualifications even more obvious and a new exam body is being set up, but the shake-up of education is taking place from the wrong end.

NB I find it interesting that so many news outlets are referring to CfE as "the SNP CfE". As I said, the SNP refused to scrap the damned thing but Scottish Labour's part in this has been conveniently ignored.

In my lifetime, I've voted LibDem once, and the rest of the time Labour or SNP. I say this to point out that my views on the curriculum are not driven by my political views. The 5-14 Guidelines weren't perfect, but they were a damn sight better than the current mess.

The point is that the SNP government has been told time after time that CfE and the related exams are not fit for purpose - but they simply refuse to admit that they're wrong and this seems to be their modus operandi for everything.

I'd hoped that this might change when Sturgeon gave up her position.

The mention of empty vessels make me think of the Friends episode with Julio and the Diner.

Perhaps we need to organise a similar barbershop riposte.

I think they got the 6 and the 2 mixed up. That's Numberwang!

Hope you all got the discount 😊

And you've never heard of tactical voting? It's not as if it's some huge complicated secret ritual. It's pretty basic. I can understand new voters 18 to 25 yr old for instance being unaware of it - maybe. But 62?? Come on!

Empty vessels make the loudest noise

We know you're really deafening. 🤫

I love Joanna Cherry, for standing up for women when nobody around her was doing that. Hopefully she has a best seller on her hands!

You said most of the replies were ‘slagging her off’. How’s that a ‘complete lack of interest’. If you weren’t interested you wouldn’t comment.

Bullies on this thread 🤣🤣 Check yourself 🤣. SNP trolls truly are the worst.

No one kicked off. There was just a complete lack of interest. You have a cheek to talk about trolls btw given the bullies on this thread. Empty vessels make the loudest noise 😆

Nicola Sturgeon is currently embarrassing herself thinking she can make a political comeback.

Same. Considered spelling it that way but assumed I'd be chastised!

Thanks OP, looking forward to reading this. I would like to know how this insane ideology captured so many people.
No idea who I'm going to vote for in May but it won't be SNP. Or Greens, obviously.

Roond ma way, it's "naebdy''.

Ooo I’ll look forward to this! A serious brain, Joanna Cherry is, unlike a lot of politicians these days.

The field is indeed barren.

Whit? Nea-bi-dy is 3 syllabubs is it no? Or did I miss a joke somewhere

Folk wha live in gless hooses an aa that...

O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us
An’ foolish notion...

The papers are going to have a field day with any references the book makes to the Salmond trial.

Sturgeon et al have been able to say more or less what they like since Salmond died last year - though I believe that his niece had hoped to challenge some of the things said. Cherry's take on Sturgeon's influence on the case might be revealing.

I've seen various hints on social media from other sources, but not from anyone who was within the party for as long as Cherry.

Given Cherry's legal background, I'll also be interested to hear what she has to say about the Not Proven verdict.

And lo. See my field
In which I give not a fuck.
No cares are present.

Are we suitably chastised, or are our cares also in that field where the fucks are grown?

Wims! Mind your grammar!
'Naebody cares' dude has spoken.
Weep at his judgement.

(And naebody is pronounced with 2 syllables in Scots, lest I be judged! And weep)

Nicola Withnail smiled as he held up the key "free to those who can afford it, very expensive to those that can't"

I think I've pulled Wims!
Although I don't think we will be getting a room.
( but if there's a free campervan going... who knows?)

Title of this thread kind of explains the replies. The grammar 😱
