I think even at the beginning the worst critics of them (including me) didn't think that the money had been pockled and buried in a swiss bank account. We thought it had been used for other stuff. Whether that is a crime in terms of misleading people who that they were contributing to a ring fenced fund might all end up a matter of semantics, it might end up in civil cases being brought. Fact is that it's not sitting there available for another referendum campaign, which Angus Robertson can suggest that there is an increasing appetite for all he wants, but it simply isn't true.

Well fair enough if they spent a wodge of money on a musical coffee machine, that sounds ace Grin

I wish they’d tell us wtf is going on with schools. And nurseries and out of school care while we’re at it, but schools start back so soon, what extra info is it they are still waiting for?

@Scottishskifun

I think she is too distracted after shouting 20 times a day "for fucks sake Pete what did you spend all that money on?"

😂😂😂😂😂
Offices apparently....... Bet they got one of those expensive coffee machines which plays different music depending on what you select..... Yep they exist went to a client meeting in a office with one ages ago! 😂

Grin If they've spent £600k on a coffee machine I'd expect more than the odd tune!
ElephantOfRisk · 27/07/2021 20:31

Our coffee machine at work gives a code for the specific thing you've ordered, of course it's quicker to just press the three buttons for coffee, white and sugar rather than the 4 digit plus code...

WouldBeGood · 27/07/2021 20:33

Check you all with your fancy work coffee machines 😂

I wonder what they have spent it on?

And where is Pete?

ElephantOfRisk · 27/07/2021 20:41

And where is Pete?

Do you reckon she's beat him up and he can't appear in public until his black eyes clear?

WouldBeGood · 27/07/2021 20:42

With an iron?

Bytheloch · 27/07/2021 20:46

Ha, the coffee machine tunes. I’ve tried to use a kettle before that was too technical for me to work out how to boil it- but it had lovely flashy blue lights on it🤷‍♀️

(Btw, For anyone who wants to see a sweaty, masked up Blackford- don’t have nightmares- during a spectacular take down at WM, there’s a clip doing the rounds of Penny Mordaunt listing all the Scottish Nasty Party fails. It’s a joy to watch. I think the wheels are coming off- something in NS performance today too, she seemed rattled…sorry, this is probably for another thread, but need to post before the faithful arrive to flood the thread Grin)

titsintiers · 27/07/2021 21:23

Seen that @Bytheloch

Enjoyed it as I have a particular hatred of bumptious bellend blackford

WouldBeGood · 27/07/2021 21:27

Blackford: the simple crofter, aka millionaire banker

ElephantOfRisk · 27/07/2021 21:31

yes I saw that clip too, there was another not quite so spectacular one of Alyn Smith not knowing his stuff on EU trade. Nothing nicer than seeing a bumptious arsehole getting their fair do's.

WouldBeGood · 27/07/2021 21:35

They also have a Twitter thread about “pregnant people” and the vaccine. The comments are fab.

WouldBeGood · 27/07/2021 21:36

The SG, that is

ElephantOfRisk · 27/07/2021 21:44

I was also reading something on the NHS website about people with a cervix.

titsintiers · 27/07/2021 21:47

People with a cervix? Fucking hell.

WouldBeGood · 27/07/2021 21:52

It seems from the comments that people are not loving the approach…

Scottishskifun · 27/07/2021 21:54

I would say something but I might risk a hate crime breach!

WouldBeGood · 27/07/2021 21:56

@Scottishskifun 😂

Scottishskifun · 27/07/2021 22:04

I did see the thread and guardian article that SG employees are being "encouraged" to end their emails with their pronouns........

All I thought when I saw it was really?! Do you not have something better to do like I dunno a pandemic and falling apart education system! Maybe getting your website in a coherent way or guidance released quickly but no apparently email signatures are a top priority..... FFS 🙄

I will await my police car now 😂

WouldBeGood · 27/07/2021 22:14

👮‍♀️

* Over 55,000 pregnant people in England & Scotland have had the #coronavirus vaccine. *
Lifted from a SG message on Twitter.
‘Pregnant people’ AND putting England and Scotland figures together to make it seem a higher number. A double insult to women in Scotland.

Probably because the number in Scotland is 4000 which doesn't sound a lot so wouldn't work as a reassurance tactic!
YeDancer · 28/07/2021 06:15

Should we say "pregnant animal" instead of pregnant bitch when having puppies?

ElephantOfRisk · 28/07/2021 08:52

Is it pregnant people because of those couples that announce that "we" are pregnant? Grin

titsintiers · 28/07/2021 09:04

Hate them too @ElephantOfRisk give me the dry boak.
