Nicola Sturgeon has done a number on the English left.

[derxa]

A white wash report. Misuse of public money. Shower of incompetents in SNP government. Rotten education. Using covid as a political tool.
I could weep for my country.
Yet people like James O'Brien continue to arse lick Nicola

According to Scotsnet the SNP are the loony fringe and nobody in Scotland votes for them. Erm... back in the real world, they are the most popular party in Scotland and the majority of Scottish voters vote for them, so you need to stop looking in Scotsnet for your wee echo chamber!

But there are many snp supporting posts on here. Often with links.

Completely agree that Scottish Labour need to take a good hard look at themselves and completely rejig their policies on basically everything and start offering some actual competition and therefore accountability to the SNP.

@UnderHisAye

This thread makes no sense. You seem to want to articulate something but there's 'too much to say'?

I am so so bored of this notion that somehow NS has duped people into supporting her. For many people, separation from Westminster is the biggest political issue in their lifetime. Who on earth would they not vote for the party that represents the path to achieving it?

Every thread about the SNP claims that its supporters are under a spell, in some sort of cult, and generally not intelligent.

Every thread someone also posts that you dare not speak out against the SNP as you get to much abuse.

Absolute crap, IME.

And yet Johnson has broken the ministerial code, given billions to unqualified people to provide PPE, and a tracing system that simply does not work.

I think if NS has 'done a number' on anyone in England (whatever the fuck you think 'done a number' means) it's that she has shown her face every single day and answered an hour of journalists' questions live on TV. She has looked present and thoughtful throughout, whereas her WM counterpart has often been posted missing for weeks on end.

Absolutely 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@Bluebird1234

She appointed James Hamilton to investigate her . His report simply cannot be credible as he was therefore answering to her!

Alex Salmond appointed him - not NS.

That's quite an inconvenient truth eh @YNK

Indeed! Among many others.

I don't frequent Scotsnet very much.

The whiny bitter tone of the OP is exactly the same vibe of many posters on Scotnset and

The OP should basically read: I hate Nicola Sturgeon and I'm utterly furious and enraged that people like her.

It's hilarious.

I have been blocked by Janey Godley on Twitter. The SNP don't take criticism well.

@RaindropsSplashRainbows

Och let people chat. Where's the harm?

No harm exactly, but very cynical to start a thread with hefty accusations, not back them up, then prance off to get on with the lambing or whatever.

I agree, and it’s so fucking boring too. As I said, I’m not an SNP voter but to argue she’s some devious mastermind is so stupid - she’s a good communicator, she’s organised and she’s media savvy, but let’s not pretend that she hasn’t benefited massively from the absolute incompetence of Scottish Labour. And arguably Boris Johnson has done more for Scottish Independence in the last year than Nicola Sturgeon.

Are you under the impression that Janey Godley works for the SNP? Maybe she just wasn't keen on your vague assertions with no evidence...

'The Hamilton report is like appointing Tate & Lyle to report on the link between sugar and tooth decay!'

Yes how on earth isn't it a clear conflict of interest when he was an SNP advisor. Imagine if when there's a covid inquiry Cummings was appointed to run it .

They're a laughing stock.

@YawnyOwl

Jaw-droppingly corrupt, but because she's quippy and articulate so many people don't mind! Glad she's up in Scotland, but feel for the Scottish people stuck with her and her party

The majority voted for her...and will likely do it again. Don't feel too sorry...most of us don't want another 20 years of Tory rule so...

I once had a really good conversation over Twitter with Janey Godly, despite having opposite views. Were you polite to her? Or did you pile on with the insane amount of abuse she gets daily on Twitter?

Nail on the head

@RaginSpice

All your posts have been spot on *@UnderHisAye*

I second this.

You say what I want to but can't because my blood boils too ferociously and my stupid mouth runs away with me. @UnderHisAye

I don't do Twitter wars. I post ' likes' usually However I think she blocked me on something completely unrelated to politics. She showed herself to be very nasty about bereaved people. Which considering her history is astonishing.

WTF has Janey Godley got to do with NS?
She does comedy routines for a living.
She's not an SNP spokesperson, in fact she's rather a red tory.

Who do you think appoints people to lead public inquiries in England?

The minister who initiates the inquiry.

I don't think an inquiry can truly be unbiased anyway, given how systematically older white men are promoted to this type of responsibility.

Oh my goodness.
