I’ve just seen an update that K Oswald had been booked for an MP panel panel discussion which was then dropped by Sky news this morning-they’re saying it was an error on their part

@WaxOnFeckOff

Saw this reply on twitter:

Scotgov get it first so probably:'
Hamilton report
I have found that [redacted]
Signed
James Hamilton

I'd laugh more if I thought it wasn't true

Ha! This would not surprise me in the least.
TheShadowyFeminist · 22/03/2021 13:39

The suspense is killing me.

Just publish the damn thing already!

🤨

anon444877 · 22/03/2021 14:15

I'm not getting my hopes up - we'll know it's out when we get the onslaught of snp fans saying the issue has been ventilated/Nicola is suffering from misogyny/she's apologised in full/look tories etc. etc.

Flannel, flannel, flannel.

Bytheloch · 22/03/2021 14:44

Report expected at 4pm, apparently.

Graffitiqueen · 22/03/2021 14:50

And in the middle of this and a global pandemic they have published the indyref2 bill. FFS. Their priorities are clear.

I guess it's to try and appease the cult. They're now saying in the first half of the next Parliament. 🤔

SempreSuiGeneris · 22/03/2021 14:59

Lots of nervousness from the Sturgeon "wheeshtforIndy" camp that this is far from the last throw of the dice for Salmond. Wonder if it would be better for her if Hamilton does find against her and that's an end to it?

ATieLikeRichardGere · 22/03/2021 14:59

To appease the cult and to detract from other events of the day presumably.

anon444877 · 22/03/2021 15:13

I do think one thing - this has re energised the no camp a bit, the whole debacle has outlined very clearly the problems with the SNP, this and the hate crime/treatment of Joanna Cherry.

noego · 22/03/2021 15:14

The word "knowingly" is the important decider here. If it's not in the report as in "the FM knowingly misled parliament" then she is will deflect and continue as normal,
It will be down to the Scottish people on the 6th May to decide on the track record of the SG.
I cannot see the Greens standing up to the plate on Wednesday when the VoNC is proposed.
The future of Scotland and its children is in the balance here more than it has ever been.
Shameful!!!!

WaxOnFeckOff · 22/03/2021 15:16

I agree, the remain camp will be a lot stronger and a lot more willing to speak out this time - though I then expect the first amendment to the HCB is to make being an indy supporter a protected characteristic.

anon444877 · 22/03/2021 15:19

wax snorting. And a specific category for Nicola too.

I’m looking forward to getting all the answers to my questions about the consequences of independence this time.

noego · 22/03/2021 15:29

No chance!!

I'd be more worried about the mess they'll make of Scotrail

WaxOnFeckOff · 22/03/2021 15:35

Well it won't be Scotrail - it'll need to be translated in Gaelic for a start - welcome to Rèile na h-Alba.

Trains won't be allowed to leave their local area though. So it'll be the Alloa stationary train since they don't have any more stations...

WouldBeGood · 22/03/2021 15:43

I think we can kiss goodbye to a wee Prosecco on a SG train.

undoubtedly.

The new nationalised service will be so excellent there will be no need to drink away our sorrows. Much better than BR.

The entire country wishing that they'd taken up speed reading...
WaxOnFeckOff · 22/03/2021 16:05

Come on, 4pm come and gone and I need to go and make dinner.

TokyoSushi · 22/03/2021 16:05

Just constantly refreshing Twitter!

TheShadowyFeminist · 22/03/2021 16:06

This is just torture now.

Blurberoo · 22/03/2021 16:06

VONC tomorrow now...
