The New Fat Scotland 'Thanks for all the Fish' Thread.

Two weeks ago the SNP leader was making barbed social media comments about May having no mandate as she was unelected.

And now she's still not happy.

She's crackers.

So pleased that someone else can see how deluded Sturgeon is.

She has not done herself any favours harping on about independence.

I just hope and pray that the scottish people will show her how wrong she is and get the snp and greens out for good.

Do you mean the rest of the UK, or the UK as a whole?



Be running out of excuses soon.

Take your pick, rUK or UK in whole.
Your link seems to infer that the rUk or UK in whole is doing better than the Scottish economy.

Not.
Reminds of an agitator on the sidelines at protest marches.
Full of wind and a great stirrer but runs when the real nitty-gritty starts.

As you have been informed here & in other threads I note:

I have seen some of your personal attacks BTW; much more & I may quote & link ISTL.

Pict, I've made about a dozen or two posts since coming back here. Some of which was trying to have a pleasant chat with you.

Now can we get on topic as opposed to the personal attacks.

You ought to follow your own advice.

It wasn't many pages back where you made a lot of assertions, didn't stay on topic/in context and topped it off with a personal insult regarding my ability with percentages and statistics.

I bowed out of that discussion after you were unable to accept that increasing the English MP's to the guidelines figure would increase the English representation percentage and as a result, reduce the Scottish percentage.

It was not a personal attack just your reluctance to accept that premise showed a lack of understanding.

But I see no reason to open up that discussion again, as I said, I'm out.

You quite clearly said I was unable to understand statistics and percentages. I'm sure the post is still there if you wish to refresh your memory.

I fully understood what you were saying.

You failed to understand that the reality is that MP numbers are reducing from 650 to 600, so an increase in English MP's was not possible whilst maintaining the number of Scottish MP's, and a straight reduction in Scottish MP's is therefore the same thing looking to achieve the same aim of reducing Scottish over-representation in Westminster - which was my original point all along.

I was not being intransigent, I was too busy being correct. :rotfl:

Then you failed to convey that in the posts or chose to not accept my point for the sake of a mindless debate

Not at all.
We were unable to get to an agreement on the current position, hence I saw no value in debating the position going forward,

Had you been able to portray your understanding of the current position, we could have moved on to your point.

Only ~25% of people in Scotland voted for that manifesto.

That's the reality.

Not this old nugget again.

Only ~25% of people in the UK voted Conservative in 2015.

Busy at SNP HQ with her bosses being told how to spin this disastrous news for them on the internet?

I've been at the hairdressers all day being made fabulous. This GE is also fabulous news for the SNP.

I bet Nicola was giving everyone the hair dryer treatment for missing this tactical play.
