Salmond v Sturgeon Round 2.

[Cismyfatarse]

As the conversation is interesting and the thread is nearly full. Does it matter if Sturgeon is guilty - do you know or care? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/scotsnet/4153007-Does-it-matter-if-Sturgeon-is-guilty-do-you-know-or-care

Also complaining he didn't express regret for his behaviour during his testimony to committee...

So have I just heard that she's saying the stuff that came out last night means nothing and proves nothing?

Oh and the information doesn't show anything so it's all good.

'I recused myself' for the enquiry, what's that got to do with it? [She should have stood down during the enquiry.]
'the material was not in the control of the Government' ???!!
'not intention of the Govt to withhold'
'I have waited a long long time to be sitting here while claims swirl around'
Then more me, me, me. Poor me

Delay fairly squarely on SG not releasing documents

Wittering already. Long winded answers not answering the questiond

Apparently it’s “absurd” they were going after Salmond. Really? Doesn’t look like that from any logical position.

Lots of "we" and "the government" when challenged.

Wittering indeed

I'm afraid she just shows repeatedly with her testy, irascible attitude why she's very very bad at her job. Her voice gets louder and louder
The woman has never been fit for this role. We never elected her after all. She was 'elected' by 63 SNP MSPs after inheriting the job

He didn't express regret? Talk about immaterial to the matters in hand.

The Charles Kennedy article is heartbreaking. I met him when I was a kid and he was lib dem leader. He put out his hand to me and said 'hello, Charles Kennedy.' I was young and confused and says 'hello Charles Kennedy' back.

I had no idea the SNP orchestrated such a bike campaign.

I voted for independence in 2014. I was younger and swept up in the seeming romance and justice of the movement but I had no real understanding. I hate the SNP and their bullying and exclusion now, with a passion. I naively believed then that Scotland could become some lovely left wing utopia.

I do think the referendum in Scotland brought out the worst in everyone supporting independence. There wasn’t tolerance of another opinion. It got increasingly awful - even as someone from England I found it tribal and appalling. Almost like a civil war without weapons. I continue to believe nationalism anywhere eventually leads to instability and deep divisions. I am no fan of tribal politics but nationalism has a nasty edge because people who oppose it are somehow traitors. Now the vile politics and behaviour is contained in the ruling party. It needs to stop.

'Youre a champion of women, were you not worried about allegations?'
Folds her arms

Didn't like that.

Ooft Margaret Mitchell going for her

Ms Mitchell just told her off

There is no such thing as "Civic" or indeed civil "Nationalism".

For talking about salmond

So it's 5 ministers, but she has no idea what that is about as she doesn't know...?

Right, I'm here, and have been listening/watching since 9!

Interesting that the committee are giving her a much rougher time than they did with Salmond (I need to have a look who Miss Mitchell is as she's clearly livid with her)

Absolutely fascinating.

Oh no Maureen watt

I still believe Scotland can become a lovely left wing utopia, I don't think they need full independence to do it though. The SNP have powers over income tax.

Percy: 'There wasn’t tolerance of another opinion.'
I'm sure you agree the SNP has distorted not only our politics 7 years ago but our entire social and cultural fabric with their faux war and constant dividing of our once happy country

45 minutes in, and she's looking and sounding really rattled.
