Nothing hyperbolic there

Which bits?

I was talking about the headline.

The article itself is a nasty little diatribe against two people with little to no basis in fact or truth.

Amazing that after this last year Neil is still considered a serious political commentator.

Amazing that adults take everything people say completely literally.

The SNP have taken real steps toward ensuring the law takes what people say literally and send them to gaol for it; is this not to be applied to the 'chosen ones'? The hypocrisy is palpable.

[ZedLeg]

I’m not a big fan of some of the stuff in the hate crime and public order bill, I’m also not a SNP voter so I don’t think I’m being hypocritical.

[the-sharpener]

the SNP and the McGammons bang on about tolerance, inclusivity and diversity

And we have one of there MPs up on stage banging on about kick everyone from a certain group out of the country

and they get a 5 minute standing ovation


Sounds like something from a BNP meeting in the backroom of a dinghy pub

not the most progressive force in UK politics

Or is it the SNP operating on a higher level again that us mere mortals can't understand

They are marxists, their manifesto is stuffed with crap that has been tried before and ended badly. It is a hatchet job, but they deserve a hatchet job as they are dangerous idiots; the hyperbole is because it's an article for the Heily Wail, he's a professional writer and knows how to write an article that the Wail editor will buy.

So you agree that it’s a hyperbolic hit piece for a rag of a newspaper and can be ignored as such?

Yeah i agree we can ignore the newspaper

I think the joke is on you.

[ZedLeg]

Why is that?

[the-sharpener]

For entertainment value or because you agree with the little idiot

[ZedLeg]

I’m a member of the Scottish greens.

Oh interesting

So do you agree with prosecuting company executives and sizing their assets?

[ZedLeg]

I think that oil company execs should be prosecuted if they’re found responsible for a spill or other environmental damage.

Including climate change?

Who else should we be jailing?

how about coal mine operators

[ZedLeg]

The causes of man made climate change are too diffuse and historic to pin the blame down to a group of people today.

As far as other company executives, the same principle applies.

Cause harm to the environment or people and there should be consqecuences.

[the-sharpener]

I also assume you are onboard with breaking away from the UK

[ZedLeg]

I’m for re evaluating our relationship with the rest of the Uk. Whether that’s further devolution/federalisation or full independence.

I’m not an english hating cybernat .

He’s an absolute nutter.

[ZedLeg]

He’s an ideologue with strong opinions.

Some I agree with and some I don’t.

That’s the way I feel about the greens in general tbh.

If there was a left wing progressive party that wasn’t quite so Birkenstock middle class I’d probably be there instead.
