I loathe the Scottish Government

[Dineasair]

I loathe the Scottish Government. I want to see the SNP/Green Party coalition roast in hell! They can take any MSP who voted for the Gender Reform Bill or the Hate Crime Laws with them. Is it now a hate crime for a Scottish Woman to say that?

Oh and the 4th story - the Sandyford.

That utter twat was on the radio earlier, wittering on about 'climate is why you have Greens in Government!' and I thought a few things -

1. Slater and Harvie barely managed to get 3,000 votes between them and the only reason they hold any power at all is the Bute House agreement made by a desperate SNP.

1. The Scottish Greens can't do the little they have been given to do well. The deposit return scheme, the heat pump shite....etc etc.

1. He's insufferable.

Well Sally Magnusson that was one Reporting Scotland I wasn't going to miss.

@Waitwhat23 the sad and worrying thing is he has Humza in his pocket and he knows it.
Scottish politics is an embarrassment

Boo fucking hoo.

Amazing that the greens red line is chemically castrating kids but not the u turn on the climate change targets?!?!

How have they become so lost?

Murrell has actually been charged! www.scotland.police.uk/what-s-happening/news/2024/april/investigation-into-scottish-national-party-finances-man-charged/

PETER MURREL CHARGED.

WOW

Wonder if we'll see future news of the re-arrest and charge of a 53 year old woman?

A woman who lived with Murrell and worked extremely closely with Murrell, yet expects us to believe she was oblivious to what was going on?

Seriously, the greens have missed a climate pledge, done little of note environmentally and want to throw a fit over a change in medical guidance that has nothing to do with environmental issues? Well, all of a piece over them forcing Wightman out. Shameful…

Salmond will be dancing.

Remember the referendum when we were supposed to believe that Scottish politicians could never be corrupt like those nasty Wastemonster politicians?

Teflon Nicky knows nothing, no siree. She’s as shocked - nay, appalled - as the rest of Scotland.

Look - squirrels!!!!

I read in the Sunday Times a while ago that the Greens slashed the roads budget to encourage people into public transport - hence the potholes - ie they made a deal with the SNP to slash the budget.

Seriously? The climate change pledge is shelved and it's banning castrating and mutilating kids that the Green Party are having a hissy fit over?

Wow.

In Plain Sight.

I'd imagine his wife will have moved in to the campervan to keep a low profile

She’s probably already in her covid bunker in Portugal

She will end up shedding crocodile tears and blaming it all on him.

@Scintella I have no idea whether that's true - but I do know that I live 9 miles from the centre of Glasgow and it costs £12 for a return ticket from the railway station a ten minute walk that's from my home to Glasgow.

The other weekend DH and I went to a gig a stone's throw from QS station in Glasgow and we took the car in. Partly because of the cost of the train. Partly because there's only one train an hour on Sundays.

Given how small and ‘closed shop’ the top of the SNP is, I don’t see how anyone could believe that NS was entirely ignorant of what was going on.

"Knuckle draggers" is an excellent term for people like this.

I once posted my views about SNP voters. It was removed and so I shan't repeat.

It was presumably deemed offensive to the boors of Scottish society who contribute nothing but take everything.

I could cry reading this thread. I feel like there is sanity out there somewhere. What have they done to us?

I am sure so many YES voters are quietly thinking 'thank fuck' that it was a NO

I am sure that many of the more moderate 2014 yes voters are, yes. I know several people who voted yes in 2014 as they genuinely thought it was for the best and that scotland would be richer, more equal and just better on its own. Some still see indy as the long game, others are more caught up in the day to day cost of living, jobs, house prices, education stuff which affects everyone.

There is a hard core of 100% loyal SNP voters though, who loathe and detest the English Tories, and who have totally bought the myth that in an independent scotland we will be back in the EU in 10 minutes flat and it'll be free money for everyone.

I'm hoping they will take a massive kicking in the general election, it's great that at the same time as the SNP is imploding with all their shenanigans ans dodgy dealings that the Tories are doing likewise and Labour is on the rise down south. If Starmer is the next PM which seems likely, their grievances against the English Tories are swept away.
