It's also definitely to the credit of the Indy movement in Scotland that them foreigns (especially English born, the largest non Scots born minority in Scotland) weren't blamed for the loss of Indyref1 (though it was indeed their votes wot swung it).
not sure the Salmondite frothers would be so magnanimous and Civic Nat a second time around.

Their covid response has been poor (had the Wales Italy game gone ahead in March as they'd initially said it could, the death toll could have been much worse; had they cancelled concerts a week earlier and the Stereophonics gig not gone ahead hundreds of lives would probably have been saved). They fucked up A-level results and had to back-track. They keep trying to force through plans to dump waste material from nuclear power plant construction ("nuclear mud") in Cardiff Bay which has gone down like a sack of shit once before.
Their only saving grace is that the clowns in Westminster have been handing them opportunity after opportunity to go "look we're not nearly as bad as them" and the Tories default mode at the moment is a nationalism that tends to play very differently in Wales than it does in England (even among Welsh people who vote Tory).

The current First Minister and governing party have also repeatedly said that he/they are a unionist party. Which is going to be interesting as the pro Indy movement grows. Labour has disconnected from its voting base in the North. Indy is growing in the South.

To be fair, Richard Leonard is pretty much invisible but not sure going back to Kezia Centrism and trying to out Tory the Tories on being obnoxious Unionists will do fuck all either.
The useless fucks are lucky the Lib Dems branch office is run by Willie Rennie and are the fucking Lib Dems or they could be Scotland's 4th party.Last edited by Lang Spoon; 03-09-2020, 10:21.

My ancestral home- the earlier Gardner's flitted from a village near Ardrossan, Not saying they were bored, but it was living in Ayrshire...
In a recent repeat of Polly Portillo's phoned in travelog, Tory Boy poses outside my granny's house beside Larne station before boarding ship. Next scene he's swapping bantz with SLab canvassers in Girvan

Also they need to stop fighting the Remain position. We can't Remain now. We won't be able to rejoin the EU immediately. They need to talk about getting a better trade deal than Boris's shitty no deal.

Now the Nats have completely destroyed Slab in the population centres (bar one posh Embra suburb) and the Tories have mostly eaten into their former North East base. Do Plaid have much ground game in the council schemes of Swansea and Cardiff?Last edited by Lang Spoon; 03-09-2020, 19:47.

I don't think anybody targets the council estates because the people who live there don't tend to vote.

If the argument has already won about leaving oppressive unions who don't give a fuck about ordinary people then.just carry on that campaign. It's time for Wales to take back control.
