    How dare he criticise.

    This is the sad thing .... I am not sure if the story is true or not ... but I actually don't care anymore ... it's white noise ... it's SNP bad ... it's the boy who cried wolf ... and that's worrying

    That's why we need a real.opposition ... someone to be a real opposition ... not what we have

    Instead we get the MSM full.of SNP bad with the occasional oh this labour person kicked a yes voter ... we've turned off now ... bored of the lies to the extent we no longer listen to the truth

    Sad but true
  • It`s true believe me.

  • There is a good article on a blog called Smatterings today by a Yes voter called Dan Vevers , called

    'If all you care about is Independence , you're an idiot' on
    http://smatterobanter.blogspot.co.uk

    Hope that link works.

    Came across it on it on David Torrance's Twitter feed.

    This is the link to the actual piece rather than the blog as a whole:

    Very interesting, thanks skintmacflint.

    Yep I read that article myself ... it's an interesting article and brings some good valid points ... but people need to understand it's the same for the unionists .. it's not only a small % of idiotic yes supporters ... there's a small % of idiotic no supporters as well .... I spose maybe because there are more yes bloggers that maybe look more introspectively its being pointed out by a blogger but the issue is a two way street

    It's a great meme and a better way to swipe aside criticism.

    Just as with the 'robot' thing, the SNP leadership and their apologists don't want to address the issues, just keep everyone in line and on message.

    The fact is that every party will do things that are good and bad and things that each supporter will agree and disagree with. The problem comes when a party wants to gain control of the state broadcaster in order to sack journalists critical of the Party and threatens to sack MPs that are critical of the leadership.

    The SNP will do some good stuff and some bad stuff (or should that be #SNPBAD stuff) just like anyone else. When people point out the bad things that the SNP Government does they shouldn't be pilloried as a first reaction.

    That's the problem with Nationalists, sadly. They are so blinded by their hatred that they don't see that their own behaviour is the bigger problem.

    The blogger makes the point that the same behaviour is just as bad from Unionists.

    Under a Labour Holyrood government according to Kezia, Osborne's tax credits cuts will be reinstated. Proper 'progressives' Labour unlike the SNP faux variety.
