    Sorry to be prissy, but I wouldn't use that; it gets too personal.

    S&S is fine, except that it's more the mindset I don't like, encapsulated by "SNP".

    How about for balance you also provide the link to the other Herald article today which says

    Lord Smith breaks silence over devolution deal and says agreement has been reached

    I haven't been in here today to do anything. Why don't you provide it ? Since you are obviously a fellow Herald reader.
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    It's what it has always been about from start to finish string. Unfortunately their campaign of misinformation is wide and increasing daily.

    Today at FMQs Sturgeon totally lost her composure under questions from both Kezia D and Ruth D on Police Scotland. When her usual stock trade misinformation, deflection, blame Westminster didn't work, she was left struggling to find words and her composure. Even after moving on from the subject, was obvious she was rattled.

    Obviously her fans will say the reason for her loss of composure was her righteous indignation, blah blah. Others see it as she is vulnerable in certain key areas, where she can't pass the blame parcel.

    Kezia is less popular with Labour voters than Nicola Sturgeon is. With 46% of Scots not even knowing who she is. Kezia won't turn this around anytime soon. I don't think Ruth Davidson fared much better did she ? And that Tory revival seems to have stalled somewhat also.

    Your post has a bit of wishful thinking about it. And the posts that come after yours are an insult to one's intelligence in a debating forum. Pure playground.

    You know the problem I have trying to link to posts, can just about manage a link to a website, but not to article. Have signed myself up for some classes. Sorry I asked, didn't think you would mind, as you post so many on here thought it would only take a few seconds of your time.

    I will be honest and say it won't be enough for me ... I do want independence and nothing less ...
    Finally you admit you are 'SNP' despite your previous protestations.

    Your post sounds just like Sturgeons feeble excuse when unable to deflect or mislead under questioning on Police Scotland. She tried to bail herself out by resorting to quoting her latest polling results. It was a poor decision. For which she was berated for appearing to brush off serious failings within Police Scotland which have resulted in loss of life, with her popularity ratings.

    Huge mistake. Her realisation of her mistake in doing so was clear to see. Which is why it took her long so long to regain some composure. She was too occupied trying to estimate the damage she might have done to her image of someone who cares.

    As for her popularity and being well known, she's the First Minister, and was flying around in Scotland in a personalised helicopter last year, never mind never off the news. FGS.

    Have you forgotten the hatred of their fellow Scots who chose to vote No?

    There were more Yes campaigners physically attacked by pro-unionists last year than the other way round. I wish you'd stop banging that old drum....
