    If you can’t be bothered to read a response, don’t ask a question. It’s quit disrespectful. I read your continuous drivel, although like a Mills and Bloom book… you read one, you’ve read them all.

    @ELLERS you'll be pleased to know i met up with a friend who is quite into politics on Tuesday.

    He's a smart guy and left leaning having grown up working class. He is the sort of person who thinks politicians are smart (anyone who gets into politics) and even if they sound dumb, they are smarter than you think (we had a debate about dianne abbott). Anyway, long story short, even though he would vote against tory tactically, he thinks starmer is terrible. No charisma, zero charm, very boring. I was like, is that just how the media have spun it and he says no, he's watched his interviews, what he has said and he's bland and boring. His biggest critic of the current labour incarnation is that they stand for absolutely nothing and don't do any opposing.

    Thought that would please you anyway

    The SNP aren't as popular as you may think at the moment....they've gone very quiet on the IndyRef2 stuff because polls are showing the support for it has waned. They'll start banging their drums if they think they've got a chance, but Sturgeon isn't stupid - they won't go for IndyRef2 until they are absolutely certain they'll win. For all the bullshit that's gone on during the pandemic, I think it's fair to say that Scotland would've struggled if we'd been independant - and she know's that now is not the time.

    There's a lot of **** still floating around after the Salmond debacle too, plus issues with education, Scottish NHS, policing, drug use and deaths, poverty, they have all declined whilst the SNP have been in power. They've been aided by some pretty piss-poor opposition since Davison quit and it's not looking much better now with ****y part-time ref Douglas Ross "leading" the Tories and Anas Sarwar doing his bit for Labour - **** knows who the LibDem one is, although maybe it's Jo Swinson come back in after Rennie quit. Either way, the issue for most voters up here is the alignment of the Scottish parties with Westminster - so seeing Corbyn or Johnson out canvassing puts Scottish voters off both Labour and Conservative, so what other option do you have? I have no particular love for Sturgeon or the SNP, but the one thing they do do, is stand up to Westminster for the good of their local constituants instead of cow-towing to the whip of the big parties.

    At the end of the day, politicians are all just trough snuffling ****s - put them all against the wall I say!

    Good post, like i say, my clan are 50/50 on indyref2. One thing they are all clear on (and its a big ****ing clan the macdonalds) is that they despise Boris Johnson and the Tories. Some vote labour but only a handful. The rest are totally dissalusioned with Westminster and totally disconnected.

    Yes and no
    Firstly thanks for sharing.
    Yes I know he is boring and doesn’t having any killer blows.
    No, because whatever I think about the Tories, we need a strong opposition to keep them in check. Boris gets more opposition from within his own party. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Exactly his thoughts. A million miles away from what the conservatives stood for.

    How people can defend that idiot is beyond me. It’s actually quite sad seeing this. At first I joked about him being stupid but he really does have cognitive problems.
