MHKs take a lot of stick on here. But let me enlighten forum readers of a few Snp and ex Snp chancers that the Manx people shoud be glad they dont have..Alec Salmond, " Lets join Ireland and Iceland and form a North Atlantic Super economy" oops! a few months later Icelanders were rioting in the street due to their economy collapse when speculating on the Japanese Yen.He has more time now to count the Roubles he got from Putins propaganda tv channel, than the tiny amount of votes the Alba party got.Sturgeon, the failed lawyer,has sacked her brighter rivals (ie .Qc Joanna Cherry for eg) appointed her (Husband) as head of the Snp(220k per year) he's never seen around,The Ferries disaster,Education figures hidden(why),Indyref money given by gullible punters lost/ stolen? redacted legal documents..the list of her underachievements is too long to list here. Pete Wishart ,MSP for Perth,who got in by 7 votes, gets his 66k per year plus expenses by shouting for independence,he hates Westminster that much he applied for Bercows speaker of the house of commons job..oops The joker with the ponytail ,that sits behind the "simple crofter with the fleet of Range Rovers" Blackford ..(250k per year expenses Blackford)...Chris Law, The "Laird of Lochee" has such socialist values, that he bought a castle in Angus after getting voted in.Sex pests like Mckay and O Grady,nuff said...Humza Yusaf is suing a nursery in Broughty Ferry outside Dundee for keeping children with Islamic names out/ after contacting the Glasgow paper, the Daily Retard.Yousaf ,the former Snp justice minister, was done for driving with no car insurance..( check his famous WHITE speech) you cant make this up...We also have keeping them in power the "Scottish Greens" inc Lorna Slater a Canadian who said on tv "middle age white men make all the bad decisions" well, her sidekick, Patrick Harvey,made one ,knitting his suits out of shredded wheat. The Torys make perfect "milkstealing panto villains" for the low IQ Snp voters of which there are plenty of ,but thankfully in a minority...These dafties swallow crap like "We will Double your pensions"seen on posters last December in Aberdeen,Dundee,etc, put there by Business for Scotland(SNP)really. That would mean gran and grandad would be on 32k a year old age state pension paid by young Scots workers of course. Scotland could easy stand alone in my opinion, but not with the current carpetbaggers,chancers,corrupt liars, masquerading as a goverment, in their wee pretendy parliment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackwhite Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Not going to quote that rant above as it's almost unreadable. Do I want the SNP leading the country? I don't know. Is this list of things above poor (think the Sturgeon thing is opinion but each to their own). Yes. Could we trawl any political party and find a list of similar scumbags? Also yes. We would probably just have to look at recent news to find a Tory scandal. The poster has a clear hatred for the SNP. That's fine. Again the SNP don't have to be in charge. People need to wake up to the fact that an independent Scotland doesn't have to be SNP led. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly I'm not keen on the term 'Jocks'. Not sure what was wrong with just saying something like Scots. Equally as short. The main thing is total control over the countries economic and fiscal powers. Then there's the complete autonomy to do their own thing rather than be dictated to by the UK Government. They could also stop paying towards the UK system and all that money would be retained in Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that the rest of the UK is financially propping up the Scottish economy under the Barnet formula? Yes they would stop paying towards “ the UK system” but they would also stop receiving the receipts under the “UK system” 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
