    Makes their EVEL protests appear even more ludicrous.

    Maybe they couldn't resist. It could be the only occasion in 5 years where they'll vote with the winning side. :)
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.

    It certainly does make their EVEL moans ridiculous, I cant defend that, no one really can, but I disagree with you on the winning side, they have been on that side for a while, heaven knows why they want to change that now

    Yes, that is reported here..

    The "nasty party" nickname was invented in Scotland as far as I know, but I go along with it; the fox hunting thing has no principle of importance to Scotland, it is just part of project whinge's alter ego, the plan to stir up reactions from the English that can be misinterpreted as anti-Scottish sentiment.

    It's pathetically funny. These people are ridiculous - they can't even be nasty properly and are merely presenting themselves as figures of fun.
    Union, not Disunion

    when there are moves in the Scottish Parliament to review whether the existing Scottish ban is strong enough, it is in the Scottish interest to maintain the existing ban in England and Wales for Holyrood to consider.

    "We are in a situation where the Tory government are refusing to agree to any amendments to improve the Scotland Bill - which are supported by 58 of Scotland's 59 MPs - and imposing English Votes for English Laws to make Scotland's representation at Westminster second class.

    "In these circumstances, it is right and proper that we assert the Scottish interest on fox hunting by voting with Labour against the Tories' proposals to relax the ban."

    Apparently after managing to twist himself into that position, Mr Robertson has gone to seek out a chiropractor where he also hopes to get advice on having his cake and eating it.

    Fox hunting ban was the single item Sturgeon said they wouldn't vote on when asked to give an example on Question Time.

    It's just more of SNP changing tactics to suit their whinge agenda or make themselves more amenable to gaining votes. On The Nation said No Thanks! Hosted on merino.wordpress.com someone has created an SNP daily grievance list for each day in July. Started as a bet, but he's had no problem filling his pages.

    They've only been on the winning side by offering an illusion , which fortunately for them hasn't translated so far into them having to actually do anything other than complain.

    But next year their newly gained adoring voters will be demanding they use their new powers to create additional welfare payments. Let's see how they deal with that, without upsetting their more long standing middle class voters enjoying their little perks.

    I filled in one of their questionnaires asking opinion on how to raise local taxes, and suggested they raise every tax going. Let's see if they're brave enough to do it.

    Never have heard them called the Nasty party maybe a part of Scotland I dont frequent ... maybe a unionist place ( although I live in one of them so ...)

    One thing I have found with the SNP is that through time their reasons become clear, maybe this one will too but right now I dont get it and think they were bang out of order , the weird thing is its been a lot of English people that have been asking the SNP to support them.... It could be worse though, they could be labour :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Would love to see the Labour and Tory daily grievance list, they must be huge ... much bigger than the SNP
