It's a "go to" response when there's no factual evidence to the contrary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal folk who would have voted SNP in the past are having 2nd thoughts. The SNP had some really good policy at the start (free prescriptions, free university etc) and also have some good policies at present IMO (extra child benefits, tax 2nd homes) however they have forgotten that they have to lead over everyone when in government, this has not been evident when you look at the gender ID bill and most green bills.

Slarti Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Aye, Westminster bad, SNP good. Naive to say the least. Personally, I think it's all ALBIONSAINT's fault. I also think he was responsible for the Crimean war and the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs. But that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albanian Buddy Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Some wisecrack on another platform said the reason for the lack of buses to that area was there was only one guy waiting for a bus!
