Will you bother? I doubt it. But you'll love a row on this irrelevant aside rather than talk about the difficult and important stuff like economics, currency and borders. As I said, just one quote to demonstrate your not being thoroughly dishonest 😉 One quote then we can take it from there. I agree your line was an irrelevant aside but did you make it up was my point ? Im not sure hence my question 👍 Edited October 23, 2020 by Comfy Bean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, having invented things we never said, he tries to make it our responsibility to prove we never said them. He's fiendishly clever. 🏴 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better kind of politics was claimed. But who really cares what has been said by indivduals about the wonders of indy (because we all know every group has its fruitcakes), unless wanting accompaniment for fish? The stuff that really matters is how it's going to work - or not work as expected. If indy is such a fantastic thing for the people of Scotland, why do indy fans do everything possible to avoid discussing indy? Sturgeon recent said that Brexit "would be particularly disastrous. Scotland could see heavy tariffs on goods, which for some sectors would be crippling". Now, please tell me why indy+EU wouldn't have the same effect but to a much larger part of the Scottish economy....? </expects only silence> Edited October 24, 2020 by eFestivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 I see Sturgeon has been caught out telling porkies again. That's pretty good going. The two biggest issues in Scottish politics in 2020 and she's bullshitting bigly. And the silence from snippers is deafening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike England, Scotland was discharging oldies to care homes when they'd tested positive. Which probably explains how-come Scotland had a bigger care home problem than England. But that's not new news (although it is new news to me). It was explicitly said to Sturgeon on 22nd April by a journalist when he asked her a question. Suddenly - same as with Salmond - Sturgeon has "forgotten". She's now saying she didn't know anything about it. And a Scottish govt report on the care homes problem doesn't even mention it. This is your more-honest Sturgeon, having stuff covered up as standard. The latest is that she eliminated covid and it's those nasty English who reinfected Scotland at a higher rate than England. Laughable, and definitely not playing on the xenophobic of her fans which she never does, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about the centre of your world, Scotland. And there's 3 very big issues in Scottish politics right now:- 1. the Salmond inquiry - where Sturgeon has been proven to be lying. 2. covid - where Sturgeon has been proven to be lying. 3. indy - where Sturgeon is playing you for mugs by saying you must do indy because of the economic damage from brexit while indy has far greater damage via the exact same scenario that Sturgeon is using as the justification to push indy. Add in the bit of xenophobia that Sturgeon is throwing in on the side (at least three times during the covid crisis), and you're in heaven. You're certainly not calling her out on it, are you? Or anyone else on the indy side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember Sturgeon advising people not to travel to Glasgow when it was covid city recently. I don't remember Sturgeon advising people not to fly overseas when cases were bad. I don't remember Sturgeon telling Scots not to travel to NI recently when it had more cases than England does now. Do you know where the virus circulating in the UK has come from (from it's genetic fingerprint)? Spain. Not England. Now, if she'd advised people not to fly to Spain she'd be on the money. But she's got one target for her advice, and one target only. This is the third time when she's given the same not-based-on-science not-based-on-anything-equitable advice. How odd.
