The Tierany of Tiers

Teirtastic times ahead ....

Is it illegal? Setting the mandate for an Indyref is ultra vires the Scottish Parliament so in that sense it is illegal. Interesting that it is Mike Russell doing all the Press on this since he is stepping down as an MSP and therefore will have No say in what he is proposing.

Worth a watch. I've only managed to watch the one on Iceland so far but will try to watch the others tonight.

@WaxOnFeckOff distraction from?

Yeah, if the faithful are enticed to vote for something they actually want then hell mend them, as my Gran would have said

I don't think anyone needs distracting from anything - I was speaking to my auntie who is part of the Stirling branch. They've had 65 new members in the past week (higher than normal).
Oh, I just saw NS has been cleared of breaking the ministerial code.

His 61-page report concluded: “I am of the opinion that the First Minister did not breach the provisions of the ministerial code in respect of any of these matters.”

That was the sound of many heads of people on this thread simultaneously exploding.

Well, that's a bit of good news!

Yes!

I don't see how James Hamilton could have demonstrated any particular intent on the part of NS. That's a very high bar.

But this whole sorry saga reflects badly on AS, NS and the Scottish government in my opinion.

Only about half the usual number of tests with reported results today. It'll be interesting to see the figures tomorrow.

Mondays results always tend to be low as Sunday testing and some of the community test centres aren't open.

I'm actually just wanting to leave Scotland now. It seems we are stuck with a corrupt government who get away with anything, that people will keep voting back in for the foreseeable future. And as a woman, unless I become a transman, I'm unprotected by the new draconian hate crime legislation. I was already feeling like almost every aspect of my life was controlled, legislated over or licensed. It feels like madness, and I just don't want to be part of it.

I'm trying to convince the rest of my family!

Where do you fancy @GreenlandTheMovie ?

I'm on Rightmove already.

Berwick upon Tweed should build some new estates!

Dunno. I don't think England would be much better. Possibly abroad.

I'm serious though. This sort of corruption is really depressing me and I think you make a decision either to put up with it or move away from it. If its possible to move away, then perhaps its a good idea to do so, because otherwise you're almost part of it (and I think theres very little that I, as an individual, can do about it).

@GreenlandTheMovie I'm a bit confused that you think there's less corruption in the UK Government to be honest but good luck to you anyway.

@WaxOnFeckOff good luck to you too. I've often thought by the tone of your posts you'd be much happier not to be in Scotland.

Enjoy ladies. You can start the EngScotsnet.

Wax looks over her shoulder as someone is clearly looking at her browsing history....

Oh god spooky.

@GreenlandTheMovie I read that that you thought England would be much better. Apologies.

I think you'll struggle to find a corrupt free government but the French generally take no shit which is good. Excellent rights for their citizens and what not. Good weather.

@WaxOnFeckOff that's not at all what I said. You might not even be Scottish. How would I know? I said from the tone of your posts you don't seem that happy in Scotland.

And that's not my username - you seem to be confused. Doxxing and trying to out user's possible previous usernames is against MN guidelines.

Well bless your sweet heart Snowcoveredcampsies.

You never change !
