[Felicity, I guess so]

Awkward sharing my niece's photo of the leaflet but here's a link that covers the basic fact. The mind boggles.:

As long as Nats+Green if needed is a majority. Keep the sex pest and pals a gammon irrelevance like the Pensioners Party was.

[DCI Harry Batt]

It's taken them a couple of days to get that out, hasn't it?

The Lib Dems could practically murder the first-born of every islander, and still retain both Orkney and Shetland.

[Lang Spoon]

Gladstone's mob delivered them from the worst manifestations of feudalism in Britain: they seem eternally grateful.

Anyone watching the TV debate tonight?

[Lang Spoon]

I don't think herself's enthusiasm for (and misplaced faith they do things better than Ireland- my fault for not taking her down the desolation row of Kirkcaldy High St) Scotland will stretch to the debate over season 6 of the Sopranos.

[Lang Spoon]

Hopefully the Linesman gets his arse skelped and the sex pest and Galloway aren't allowed in the studio what with having nae MSPs.

[The Red Max]

You can follow the debate here, if youve got the stomach for it.

[Lang Spoon]

Did you torture yourself, Max? I see the tweet machine's saying Sarwar did well and Ross made a graceless fanny of himself.

[The Red Max]

I didn't manage to see it all, but from what I did see, Douglas Ross is an absolute gift to the SNP and probably even Scottish Labour. He is leading the Scots Tories towards an epic train wreck unless he can up his game substantially in the coming weeks.
Lorna Slater from the Scottish Green Party was a surprise and will have done their cause no harm.
Nicola Sturgeon is an old hand in these leaders debates, and it showed.
Sarwar came over fairly well in my view, and is certainly an upgrade on Richard Leonard. Not difficult I know.
Willie Rennie is hopeless.

[Lang Spoon]

Farmer Fife is a terrible terrible accent. Willie Rennie seems like the kind of wacky bastard that only ever drinks at the works Christmas party, where he's "the life and soul". In a fuckin Christmas Jumper.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Ross's performance was pretty strange, to me, yeah. I dunno if he is deliberately trying to appear like that, or not.

[The Red Max]

He's a one-trick pony, without the constitution question he's got nothing whatsoever to offer.
His whole house of cards starts to come tumbling down 52 minutes in...
Then spin forward to 1:04 to see him lose the plot completely.

I thought Sarwar's "grow up" worked quite well, tbh.

Didn’t watch it all but I’ve watched the pieces you’ve mentioned. Douglas Ross - words fail me!!!

[blameless]

The thing is though, if you live in Scotland and are naive enough to commit an act of self-harm like voting Tory in the first place, then you're also naive enough to vote for a fandan like Douglas Ross.

[Patrick Thistle]

You lucky Scots with your choices at election time

[DCI Harry Batt]

Can't see the detail, but it seems there is a Survation poll putting Salmond's new wank party at 3%.

[Lang Spoon]

Fuck.

[Etienne]

Why Fuck? 3% is derisory.
