Discussion

I don’t know. But you were talking about the National mood, like you had seen something to suggest the massive support she enjoys had reversed.
But apparently not. She is still massively popular across the aisles.
I thought, given the volume of posts you make on the topic, that you’d have some stats. Shame, perhaps you have less substance than I gave you credit for.But apparently not. She is still massively popular across the aisles.
Massively popular amongst the chest thumping nationalists, without a doubt, hanging off of every eloquently presented word like she’s some kind of messiah, foaming at the mouth with excitement, yet so blinkered to the fact that she’s as much of a shambles as any other part of the U.K., worse on some matters and, despite her independence “desires”, can not afford to be separated from the union any time soon.

I don't I'm afraid, hence me asking for more detail. It wasn't a rhetorical question, believe it or not! The only one I know about is below, but it's out of date, and focused on the crisis..
I'd be interested to see a fresh polling with broader questions.
It's good that she is not being political today...
We are not yet at the end of this car-crash. The economic harm which is still largely to come will unfold in several acts over many, many months. Whoever is in power is going to get the blame. Sturgeon, Johnston, et al. The furlough is ending this month. What we have seen so far will be as nothing compared to what is headed down the railroad tracks. Every electorate is fickle. More so than ever, people will need someone to blame for what has happened...
Let's see who is possible in the winter and then re-assess the position. I have no doubt that she is flying high at the moment in the polls. They properly reflect public opinion in my view. But let's wait and see.

I don't speak any Gaelic.
You'd fit in well with the vast majority of elected SNP officials then - none of them speak a note of it either.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-i...

"Our statistical evidence indicates that the Gaelic vernacular community is comprised of around 11,000 people, of which a majority are in the 50 years and over age category," he said.

She'll blame Westminster for turning off the taps. The irony will of course be lost on the faithful. The SNP are unassailable in Scotland and will be for years and years, their brand of grievance politics has gone down a storm with Scots folk.We are not yet at the end of this car-crash.

Are they still tying to have "Dual Lingo" road signs at a mahoosive cost when no-one actually can speak the Gaelic?
More "seen to be doing something" but utterly pointless.
As I posted ages ago, we've now got Ambaileans taking people to hospital in such gaelic hotspots as Glasgow. Yes, the dumbing down has gone too far. The only slight consolation is that it only seems to be new ones, so they're not wasting money reliverying the older ones.More "seen to be doing something" but utterly pointless.

The neds in Ayrshire haven't the faintest idea where Cill Mheàrnaig or Caladh Àird Rosain is, but sets us apart from the bastirt English... [/SNP mindset]

It's utter lunacy. There are train stations all over the Central Belt and down into Ayrshire where there was no native Garlic word for the place, so they simply hashed one together that sounded 'mair gallic'. A complete waste of time and money, but hey, culture innit. Wha's like us?

I love what they’ve done to the train livery too. There’s now a saltire, the word ScotRail, and then, just in case you forget what country you’re in or what ScotRail might mean, “Scotland’s Railway” (alternated on each carriage with the same message in Gaelic).The neds in Ayrshire haven't the faintest idea where Cill Mheàrnaig or Caladh Àird Rosain is, but sets us apart from the bastirt English...

All whilst overseen by a Dutch company... because 'thur nae English'. You couldn't make it up.Troubleatmill said:
We know that's worked out so well for them, and for us as taxpayers - especially now their tame stooge Jim McColl has defied the cult golden rule & spoken out against the leadership of the SNP. I suspect this disgraceful mishandling of public money will quietly sink with Derek Mackay's career.
