I was going to say "people with nothing to lose", but that's close enough.

I'll widen my definition to anyone that harbours intergenerational, ingrained and unquestioned hatred of the "toaries", viz.:

2 weeks to Easter and the school holidays start this weekend. They’d better get Alfred ready for service quickly.

Watch Poileas Alba wrap up Operation Branchform suspiciously quickly with no charges brought.
I hate to quote myself, but... case now passed to the Crown Office. The same CO who were intrinsic to the fitup of Eck at the behest of the inner Sturgeon cabal, and their list of Alphabet people. The corruption goes deep here people, and Yousless is implicated up to his racist eyebrows.

I'm sure Burger will be along shortly to tell us all it's no big deal.

Article said:
Police probing fraud claims involving fundraising against the SNP have passed a dossier of information to the Crown Office.

Officers investigating allegations that £600,000 of party funds raised by activists to continue the campaign for Scottish independence have “gone missing” say a progress report had been submitted before Nicola Sturgeon left office as First Minister.

Sturgeon previously rejected the claims, insisting she is “not concerned” about the party’s finances.

Police Scotland previously stated that a fraud allegation relating to the funds was “still being assessed to determine if an investigation is required”.

A formal investigation started in July 2021 after at least 19 criminal complaints were made.

Perfect timing for Hamza.

A twin opportunity to complain that Westminster doesn’t give Scotland enough money, whilst showing everyone how great everything will be when there’s no money coming from those bds at Westminster any more.

The difference with this and the last NHS strikes is he doesnt have the Chief Mammy to tell him how to sort it this time and she spent all the other previously available money on the other strikes last year.

At least junior doctors don't need more money.

". By the fifth year of training a doctor’s standard base salary has increased to over £51,000. This places junior doctors amongst the top 15 per cent of earners in the UK within five years of graduation. Further, these salary numbers ignore that when doctors work antisocial hours (such as evenings, nights and weekends) they get paid significantly more. "

Tell them that.
People live to their means.
Train drivers who earn 60k a year went on strike.

Offered a big demotion. Looks like Useless likes his revenge served hot
She's going to do a Burnham.

Well, you can't blame her for wanting to get the hell out of there as quickly as possible.

Useless did her a favour. By demoting her she leaves on the moral high ground. If she had been offered a decent post and left - sour grapes. Offered a decent post and stayed she shares the coming stshow as various chickens come home to roost. ferries. Budget shortfalls. Police enquiries. etc etc.

The back benches is a great place for a young SNP MSP to be at least until the next Holyrood election. The current SNP leader, no matter who, will lose seats at the next election. Much better to become leader after the fall has occurred and the dirty laundry has been washed.

Plus it makes Useless look petty and spiteful.

This has all worked very well for Forbes. She got a huge boost to her national profile, and she'll be forever on record making clear to Humza that he's a total fkwit.

In a few years, when everyone else in the SNP has come around to agree that Humza is a total fkwit she can say 'aye, right-enough. Look, here's a vidjo o' me back in 2023 telling yous all that he was a total fkwit. Mebbees yous should put me in charge now, eh?'

Of thr SNP and the greens can't form a majority and the next set of elections does the Scottish Parliament become unworkable because I can't see the tory libs or Labour working with them. But likely they wouldn't be 1st choice to form a government
