If only she had worn a mask

A suitable mask can be found here - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1097416363/jimmy-k...

If by chance she has to be admitted to Hospital I just hope the little kretin sees up front what the poorly paid ward staff go through to keep everyone clean safe and properly looked after...they do the sttiest jobs in the hospital yet get paid some of the lowest wages.

This one might keep her quiet...

So what has or hasn’t happened in the Balmoral hotel then?

Allegedly, an iron was thrown through a window. By person or persons unknown.

That's it?

Who is suspected of launching said iron?

There is quite a bit more to it, obviously. Google in this case is very definitely not your friend.

A good VPN and Duckduckgo.com will provide you with the results you seek.

[A.J.M]

A lady having an affair with a French female politician, had an iron thrown about.

Who threw at who?
Is said lady now suffering with covid/iron strike?

It is suspected that recovery from a virus may just coincide with the amount of time it takes to recover from a black eye

Trains in chaos, ferries in chaos, hospitality industry in crisis, A&E waiting times worst ever, ambulance crisis, wrecked roads everywhere, millions being squandered left right and centre, fraud investigations ongoing, and not enough time or space to list the multitude of other SNP failures and scandals, but it's all good folks......indyref2 is next year, paradisiacal utopia is just around the corner, and overnight our grossly incompetent administration will
become the envy of the world with their newly aquired abilities of intellectual prowess and competence. Just a pity they can't give us a wee taster
of the gilt-edged elysian country to come after indy.

Excellent post...hits the nail on the head.

Would that be monkeypox? Anyone with unusual rashes or lesions on any part of their body, especially their genitalia, should immediately contact NHS 111 or their local sexual health service.

nothing will be done or said, no outrage, no apologies nothing.....

its an utterly terrible thing the SNP are creeping towards not only for Scotland , but its terrible to think what the people behind all this think about scotland and its people too - Independence at all costs , including the freedom to think, live and have a honest, open, and balanced opinion, as well as a choice.

Brainwashing for votes.

I'll just drive to Inverness to go to good cinema n see TopGun on my own

Do you have a link? Website still only showing the Monday-Friday timetables.

I was using the scotrail journey planner putting in my details for my journey IN A Couple of weeks and 18:18 was last train, I couldn't see any other info.

It's a shambles, this should be front and centre for people to find, esoecially given the short time frame

scotland v ukraine world cup play off at hampden next wednesday, 7:45pm kick off, the absolute earliest things could finish at hampden would be 9:30pm, last train out of queen street to edinburgh (aka servicing the central belt) 10:15pm!

never mind that they game could go to extra time and penalties, or getting out the stadium and walking back to town…… looks like using the train is not a option for this game!!

[Pastor Of Muppets]

It's easy to see why there are no SNats coming on here defending the SNP isn't it, the shambles they have inflicted on Scotland is utterly indefensible.

They are a hard sell now burger eh. You still Yes?

Last train from Mount Florida to Glasgow Central is 2046. So before half time even ends.

hahahahaha. brilliant!! i didn’t even think to check what time the mount florida trains finished (we usually walk back to town) but what an utter shambles!!!

Yes but Jenny Gilruth says she can't intervene!!

What was the fking point of nationalising it if it is nothing to do with govt and they are not going to influence how it is run.

This is the genius who says Scotrail is 130 drivers short but boasts that they plan to recruit 100 by June next year.
The train fiasco is going nowhere soon.

"The minister said ScotRail hoped to have 38 drivers trained by the end of this summer, which is expected to rise to 55 by the end of the year.
She said this was set to rise to a further 100 drivers by June 2023 to meet the Government’s target of an additional 130 drivers.
However, there are currently no driver vacancies advertised by ScotRail. "

Apart from being the correct sex what ability has Gilruth shown to be appointed as a minister?

[Evercross]

I think that the ScotRail nationalising and the overnight deterioration of the rail service will be what sways the soft SNP voters against them.

As I said above - politically, this is the SNP's miners' strike moment and should be getting reported as such, but away from the politics the sheer amount of disruption this is going to cause on a daily, prolonged basis is not going to be easily forgotten.

Once again it is interesting to compare-and-contrast the utter failure of governance that is now crippling the whole of Scotland in terms of basic services to the political pile-on to Boris Johnson because of, well - you know.

It is obvious to any observer that there is a co-ordinated campaign mastered by erstwhile public-enemy-No.1 Dom Cummings behind the political theatre down south, which seems to matter more to people than demonstrable incompetence and measurable decline in day-to-day living and commuting standards that Scotland currently experiences under a leader who has told more lies to more people than Johnson ever will....

I appreciate I plough a lonely furrow, but it is possible to be broadly of not passionately pro independent yet anti SNP. They are a shambles and I would not want them anywhere near the reins of power in a government without the safety net they are happy use but criticise daily, biting and pi$$ing on the hand that feeds. I cannot see how anyone who feels Scotland could manage alone, and a separation could be beneficial and carried out with manners, civility and respect could support the very party who claims to want to deliver independence, an anomalous and uncomfortable situation!!

She has shown herself to be an unquestioning acolyte of the Dear Leader, ticks various demographic boxes, and has the intelligence of a house brick.

Name a competent SNP minister who is on top of their brief. Sturgeon surrounds herself with intellectual pygmies, to make herself look good, and to ensure there is never a challenge from within her own ranks.

Compare this approach to Mrs Thatcher - love her or loathe her, it's fair to say that she was one of the most skilled political operators of the last 50 years. Save perhaps for the very end, or the 'bunker phase' as it became known - much like where Mammy Sturgeon is now. Thatcher surrounded herself with relatively intelligent, talented people, ministers were expected to be completely up to speed with their brief, and would be interrogated as such. Sturgeon has a team of nodding donkeys and yes men & women, who will bovinely go along with the party mantra, never challenge anything, and so terrible policy gets nodded through without the slightest scrutiny. Thatcher loved a good debate, and would enjoy kicking ideas and policies around for hours at a time with ministers and subject matter experts. Sturgeon and the party policy wonks decree policy, no debate or dissent is permitted.

The SNP - a vapid, talent-free hegemonic dictatorship intent on the destruction of civic Scotland.
