Thought I’d get a new thread going as we are perilously close to filling the last and I for one am enjoying watching events unfold in your good company!

buckle up…it’s gonna be a bumpy ride….😁

SNP are not interested in practical applications or consequences. They deal entirely in soundbites and rhetoric, and they're not even any good at that anymore.

You'd think food security would be a priority if you want to put up borders everywhere🙄

I'd love for them to come up with a vision of the country they want to see that can be achieved within their current parameters and budgets.

If they'd concentrated on running the country well they may have actually gained support over the last 16 years.

But No, just continuing to be grievance junkies and whine and moan and throw toys out the pram to the point where no one trusts them, no one will buy into their ill thought out plans.

They deserve to fail as they've not tried to be successful so they can blame it on Westminster. On fact they are actively trying to keep people down and divided.

So stupid.

This.

We’ve seen this approach to everything - removing powers from parliament, avoiding scrutiny, not listening to all stakeholders, centralisation, lack of proper documentation, poorly written and thought out legislation, claiming not enough time for crucial matters (like food security) but plenty of time to push through ideological based bills.

Although to be fair, the abolition of the meat industry is a global campaign so we can all be eating whatever manufactured crap that bill gates is working on. Did Yousless not go on some thing in the states where they plot the downfall of the ordinary people?

Upland farms aren’t suitable for arable crops. Still I suppose they can stick some more wind farms on them…

I object to the term wind farm too. It's not a farm, it doesn't produce wind under the tender care of a farmer. We don't call any other power stations farms, even hydro stations are called stations.

Gaslighting us again. These things are the least green "green" thing on the planet, maybe with the exception of electric cars.

Loving this thread. Sort of Mumsnet reservation for conspiracy loons and Tories. Especially having just visited Scotland for a longish trip and not heard such rámeis. All adds to the gaiety of nations though I suppose.

Ah so you've visited Scotland and are now an expert... Okaaay... 🙄

Must be at least five minutes since someone came out with "if you don't back the SNP you're a Tory" line - can't the cybernats think of anything original?

Wait until they start to need decommissioning!

A longish trip you say? Must be an expert then.

Yip, and there is also the fact that they have been spotted powering some with diesel generators. See also charging electric vehicles with diesel generators.

@IWillNoLie you will be amazed by the number of people who don't realise that until recently (2023!) the blades are not recyclable due to mixed materials. They have to be buried in landfill and they are huge!

Because the problem is 20 years away it's been ignored.

I'm all for green energy but agree the information is selective and very real challenges are actively ignored if you raise them then people accuse you of being a climate change denier (I'm most definitely not just realise its a slower process then people think)

Well it was a long enough trip to come up with a gaelic sounding username.

By no means my first trip. I suspect you will not be short of opinions on Irish politics and will be quite forthcoming on that front. And more luck to you. Please extend me the same courtesy.

This is Scotsnet. Funnily enough Irish politics isn’t a hot topic of conversation round here.

Haha. You sure you are frae Scotland at all 😂

Nope, I leave Irish politics to the Irish. I have visit Ireland a few times and northern Ireland too for short work trips but I wouldn't begin to comment.

Contrary to what snp supporters think, not all opponents to them are Tory or even necessarily against independence (and aren't alba supporters either).

And even if they were Tory, so what? Everyone is entitled to a vote and their own views and if someone wants to start of a thread in Scotsnet talking about the shenanigans of the Scottish conservatives or Scottish Labour they are perfectly welcome to do so. I also wouldn't expect to have tourists coming on and telling them they must be snp supporters or conspiracy theorists 🙄

By no means my first trip.

WOW!! You have visited more than once!

I've had to the misfortune to read most of this thread. Wired to the moon. Ireland is full of wingnuts too in fairness. The End Times I suppose. Slán.

Bad times for the SNP when they have to import their support from overseas.

Where do you think the SNP put £600,000 of ringfenced money that was raised for campaigning in a second referendum? You must have spotted it on your visits.
