    Greens pulled the plug overnight - SNP reacted this morning to try and look like it was their idea.

    Nope not true, Green vote was next month not overnight. Although the gist of what you are saying is likely accurate as they may well have voted to end the agreement. 

     

    Pretty funny considering Yousaf made it a central part of his campaign for leadership and reiterated the support like 2 days ago.

     

    Glad to have Harvie & Slater out of government though. Total morons.

    Interest rates haven't brought down house prices significantly if at all, so now first time buyers are facing silly high prices plus higher interest rates on mortgages. Only way to do is it be rich already or have wealthy and generous parents.

    And this is a very bad thing for society. More and more young people basically being forced to take 35 year long mortgages to scrape on to the property ladder. And they wonder why no one has kids anymore.

    On listen 4 now. There is some really good stuff in there, and as mentioned, it would have made for a great 13/14 song album, but this is just needlessly long and takes a lot of the gloss off it as a whole for me. 

    Even the world’s biggest Swifties didn't want or need a 31 song, 2+ hour release, given she’s already put out 4 albums in the past 5 years. 

    Nah they lap it up I think 

  4. It's absolutely mad the amount of songs she releases (in a good way) like who releases a 31 song album like 18 months after her last effort while being on the biggest tour (of all time? i dunno, defo up there). It's also really good.

    There is no fairer way to do the ticket sale than the way it's currently done. Changing to any other system (especially a quasi-ballot/lottery) would be a horrible mistake imo.

     

    They solved the issue of ticket touting with pictures and names on tickets, so at least we can be sure that we're competing against real people who want to go rather than capitalist vultures who want to make a fortune out of our desperation. 

    Yeah 100%, doesnt stop a million idiots suggesting a ballot each year on twitter even tho it would lead to less chance for them.

     

    It is currently the best system possible imo

    Then the cost of looking after people with alzheimers will go throught the roof 😆

     

    Seriously though all these measures don't address the elephant in the room which is the increasing costs of pensions and healthcare for an aging population.

    Yeah 100%, it's going to totally f**k us in a couple decades and as ever it will be the younger generations who get f**ked over the most.

    Completely relevant to find out if you're consistent and hold others to account in the same way you've gone for ozanne.

    Or if it's just how you troll.

    are you just ignoring the part where i said I don't like, vote for or support the snp in anyway. I've actually said this multiple times over the years here lol

  8. 44 minutes ago, Neil said:

    have you ever asked the SNP to retract their many  lies, or have you just kept on ticking the box?

    first of all, totally irrelevant 

     

    second of all, I strongly dislike the SNP and don't vote for them lol 

     

    Other than that- great, articulate comment as per well done ! 👍

    Funny how there’s nothing on an MP being blackmailed into giving other MPs phone numbers out though. 

    How do you know about it then? What a load of nonsense. Proper tin foil hat stuff which has so easily been proven wrong.

     

    I wonder if you'll now retract this statement now you've been proven wrong?

  10. 47 minutes ago, Neil said:

    I didn't say it had reduced in line with the reduction of SNP support just that it's surely reduced because Scots don't like how Scots are governing them.

    Look at the polls I sent you, then look at snp support over the same period. Then think really hard. Like as hard as you can. Then come back and see if what you’re saying makes sense.

    Using someone you consistently called a liar and who I never relied on to undermine my arguments may not be your strongest card.

    I don't agree with your description but I am absolutely sure some folk will have been turned off indy by hatemongers like the Bishop of Bath. Not quite sure how this relates to my point (which of course you haven't addressed) that support for Indy has not reduced in line with support for the SNP.

    See above.

    It’s mad how I can disagree with you so much re snp and Indy yet we can both see clearly that he is talking so much pish 😂

    I am sure the few on here who were involved in the dirty independence debate will be as amused as I am that Neil is now using WOS to support his argument.

    Incidentally, I believe in amongst his current odious nonsense, he still supports Scottish Independence. Do you now acknowledge that he is right about that?

    Or is he only right when he agrees with you?

     

    I think we both know why Neil now likes wings but explicitly saying it will probs get me banned… but I’m sure you know

    killed was not a literal, but ato indicate they'd caused support to fall go on show me something to show support has been maintained. 

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_on_Scottish_independence
     

    last 5 polls before the 2021 election (so just prior to greens entering government) put yes at an average of 43.6%

    the last 5 polls from today puts it 45.2% 

    case closed, took 5 mins of research btw you should try it sometime. 
     

    I’ll await your apology 👍

    support for the snp has tanked.so say the polls, who reckon there'll be far fewer snp mp's at the general election. scots are not impressed with how scots are governing scots.

    you said they'd killed support for independence. Show me how you reached this conclusion? You're moving the goalposts now.

    fact checked at indy supporting media "wings over scotland", who used to swallow everything indy, they've suddenly found a brain and voice to be critical. 

    wingsoverscotland 🤣🤣 he is still pro-indy it's just he hates sturgeon and trans people and loves salmond so jumped ship to Alba 

    You demonstrate time and time again that you have literally 0 clue re Scottish politics.

    still wondering when we'll see the promised green surge!

    Quite deranged behaviour how much you bring up things like the Greens totally unprompted because you have nothing interesting to say.

    This is mad

    They are britpop

    Oasis, Blur and Pulp are still popular - sure not as much as say Dua Lipa or a newer older act like Coldplay but still popular.

    Just look at the success of Truck / Y Not / Kendal etc

    Oasis remain one of the most popular bands in the UK. If they reunited it would be headline news and it would break the internet. Would honestly be colossal.

    I haven’t read it but I assume they are talking about the swing needed?

    surely easier to glance at the article instead of guessing what it says?

    I’m 27 and have never heard of the National. Where is a good place to start? There are no Sunday headliners screaming at me so I’m a ‘swing voter’ as it stands

    Trouble will find me is their most accessible album imo
