what do you suggest? The SNP have slaughtered the main UK parties, all of whom nowadays seem sort of irrelevant in Scotland.
Hyperbole statements tend to backfire. Scotland is in the UK where it represents a much smaller percentage than those other UK parties represent in Scotland. So is Scotland irrelevant within the UK.
SNP share of the vote in Scotland is still a minority (About the same percentage who voted for independence). SNP share in Scotland was less than 2 points ahead of what the Conservatives managed across the UK and lower than the Conservatives margin in England. Does that make every other party irrelevant outside Scotland?

I suspect they had one eye on legal costs if they decide to challenge the UK Government in court.
It wouldn’t be like the SNP to spend our money taking a dead horse to court to flog it...

*cough* EU legal advice

"Unique set of weather conditions" according to the dude from Amey.
A strong westerly wind and sleet and snow is hardly unique in a Scottish winter.

I was driving south over the bridge around 1620 yesterday and the chunks of ice falling were feckin frightening. A car about four in front of me got hit and it looked like a piece of windscreen trim got knocked off it, there were a few vehicles on the hard shoulder that I presume had been hit by the ice as well.

Maybe the politician that was in charge of the bridge during the build and hand over was too busy on his phone to pay attention to the finer details.

Just out of curiosity how do you stop ice forming on anything and then dropping?

Not unique, but definitely a material change in circumstances.

Lots of CO2 should do the trick. Apparently. I've already put my towel down on the Costa Del Saltcoats.

Park Sturgeon on it. The hot air that comes out of her would sort it in no time.

An independent Scotland would be free to choose their own weather not have it dictated by Westminster. wink

Joking aside, it is interesting that we have evolved from a serious discussion about the fears, and real issues, associated with Scotland actually leaving the UK, to poking our fingers and laughing at pretty much everything the SNP says and does.

That alone should tell us something.

Massive floods again in the borders, Dumfries and many other places, and yet Sturgeon flies to Brussels to keep the SNP lovefest with the EU going, the money spent on her and others accommodation, flights and other perks could have been put towards flood defences but instead such problems for the people of Scotland in a time of need just isn't important enough.

And how about this one, the SNP has 47 seats in Westminster Parliament out of 650, if they join the EU they will have a maximum of 9 seats in the EU Parliament out of 735 . They keep shouting about their voice not being heard in Westminster, WTF do they think it's volume is going to be in the EU?, a whisper if they are lucky.

Sturgeons ambitions EU wise are more for her own ambitions than the good of Scotland .The Scottish people themselves must look a bit deeper into the implications of EU Membership and decide if this really is the "Freedom" they think they are getting . Be Warned people ,the take over will be behind your backs and Sturgeon will not tell you all you need to know, Politicians never do if they think they in for a big pay deal.

This woman will sell Scotland down the river without any shadow of a doubt, the people of Scotland need to seriously wake up to the
danger of Nicola Sturgeon and her SNP cohorts.

If you're referring to Edinburger, he posted yesterday morning. It's almost as if sometimes he has more important things to do than reassure you that he's still in favour of Scotland becoming independent.

Keeps the thread tidy instead of being littered with 1 line (often irrelevant) posts.

No issue with SNats posting on the thread if it's rhetoric worth debating with however.

Not so sure about the game being up though, they may well be in a bad position and wracked with scandal but these runts will
stop at nothing, never let your guard down, analyse and study every single move they make, scrutinise them and call them
to account for every failure (the list is long).
