Some people may not be aware of Emilys flexibility
She could well have been an important and major actress
Here she is auditioning for the role of Rosa Klebb in the proposed unofficial remake of From Russia With Love
Here she is when she auditioned to be M in Casino Royale before it was decided Judy Dench would continue in the role
Here she is seen helping out at her local Barnardos Charity Shop

I worked with Blackford back in the days he was an investment banker. He was a good analyst. How he has morphed into the bitter, mono-thematic, boring, windbag crofter that he now is, I really don't know.
Come now, he was always just a 'simple crofter' - at least that's the image he likes to perpetuate these days in his tartans and tweeds, whilst infesting the highlands in his dual Range Rovers.Most enjoyable was the exposure of his hypocrisy a couple of years ago in the Commons, when Greg Hands called him out.
Greg Hands said:
“I noticed him describing himself as a ‘simple crofter’,” said Mr Hands. “I have a little bit of doubt about this.
“I had a career in the City and I don’t recall him being a simple crofter at that time.
“Maybe that was his codename on his Bloomberg terminal as he was buying and selling financial assets.”

Another amusing insight into the life of our simple crofter.

It emerged last week that he claimed £256,000 in expenses from Westminster in 2018/19, plus his huge salary on top of that, milking to the full a system he claims he wants to destroy.
This SNP idol and inveterate champion of the poor recently bought his wife a new Range Rover Velar, presumably to add to the family fleet, with a price range from £45,710 to £86,725, according to the Carwow motoring website.
My father never quite got into the stylish, futuristic, elegant, infotainment, button-pressing luxury vehicle category. He drove a Morris Minor. That’s what a 20-acres crofter aspired to by saving up very hard-earned money.
Ian Blackford manages to cruise around in a different world. That’s what being a “10-acres crofter” raking in over £300,000 a year from Westminster and being a noisy and resolute “champion of the poor” gets for you.
He seems to have made a point of turning the hard crofting lifestyle into his deeply unfunny personal joke, casually laughing in the faces of those who know how hard it can be.

Cleverly and Thornberry. Again?!
I’ll probably get shot on here for this but Blackford is good value. Fraser Nelson is a level head.
Nothing inspiring about that lineup though really.
Good value? In the sense he's an obese windbag perhaps on a lb/£ basis.I’ll probably get shot on here for this but Blackford is good value. Fraser Nelson is a level head.

If you said the same thing about a Tory female you’d be drowning in comments shaming you by now.

Blackford is, for me, the archetypal Nat. Only drones on about one thing and manages to lever "Scortish Andependance" into everything he does.
Whilst, naturally, merrily voting on broadly English issues in the House.
And claiming vast expenses from the hated "Anglish". A racist in a tight fitting suit.
I picture the two of us on some ferry to somewhere Hebridean: I turn to him and say "Ian, sorry to be blunt, but you lot had your once-in-a-generation vote, and you lost. By a big margin. Now shut the f
k up and try to be less incompetent at governing Scotland."

Here is a taster of Emily in action (not that kind of action)

She is damned if she does damned if she didn't

Just watch Lady Nugget, I've mentioned it before about her body language where she puts her hand up, flat, as a psychological barrier when "debating" and stares straight ahead. It's quite a potent, passive-aggressive stance.
Wonder why FB started with lady nugget and not Cleverley.
Oh btw proper LOL at the Rosa Klebb pic earlier, thought that was really funny.
Is there anything of substance regarding Priti Patel's allegations? POlitical witch hunt and deliberate smearing, or genuine concerns that Patel is a thoroughly unpleasant person. In this day and age, I cannot trust what's being said in the media as factual, there's no way to differentiate between poor ministerial conduct and attempts by the media to smear and besmirch the holders of state due to partisan leanings.
(I appreciate the irony of me using the term witch hunt....")

The good bishop sounds disconcertingly akin to a two-bob Bonnie Greer
I found her really annoying. Every answer she gave was some soppy nonsense about love and joy. All very flowery and vague. Example:Fiona Bruce: "so, Bishop Rose, is water wet?"
BR: "you see, Fiona, water is something precious we all share. It links us together in solidarity with God's love."
FB: "err, right, so is it wet then?"
BR: "we should be asking a different question. I would like to see a world where wetness was shared by all, Christian or Moslem, black or white......."
