@JohnSwinney Sorry, been a bit tied up with photo ops, the Commonwealth Games, sorting the kids’ football, ribbon-cutting and all the important stuff. Anyway, I’m all yours now. I’ll pop down later in my brand-new fire safety helmet for the photo.
@CoralieAnn Yes, it’s a turd but it’s well shaped, it’s shiny, the right colour, the dog is so friendly, a real children’s friend, so yes a fantastic job.
He may have made mistakes with some of his political comments, but Gary Lineker was a legendary player and an outstanding presenter for many years. He represented both England and his clubs with class and professionalism. Whatever you think of his political views, he deserves a bit of respect.
The more government tries to replace parents, the weaker parental responsibility becomes. Breakfast clubs, potty training, football camps, free bikes, free this, free that. Schools should educate. Parents should parent. It's time governments stopped trying to raise our children and started expecting parents to do it.
@larabirdsnp@theSNP Some politicians seem to be confusing being an MSP with being an influencer. Judging by the endless social media output, you'd think likes and reposts were their primary KPI rather than representing constituents
@JohnSwinney To be fair, that's basically the job: cut a few ribbons, turn up at sporting events, enjoy the free travel, deliver the usual waffle, pose for the cameras, and collect one of the highest councillor salaries in the country
@PWestoff@RNLI The RNLI volunteers are not involved in this matter and should not be drawn into political debates. It would be more appropriate to focus on those who are directly responsible, rather than individuals who are dedicated to saving lives. Shame on you.
@WingsEcosse@BBCSport Josh runs a mile, and somehow you still manage to claim him and turn it into politics. That’s quite an impressive feat. Do you ever stop and think before trying to score political points, or is everything automatically filtered through that lens?
The plot keeps getting better. Sturgeon ends up living in the heart of the “enemy”, Humza talked about leaving if things didn’t go his way, Salmond is now part of history, and that leaves Swinney. At this rate, the speeches about Scotland’s future are lasting longer than the political careers behind them. For a party that’s spent years telling everyone else they’re the problem, the biggest obstacles increasingly seem to be of their own making.
@Aodh_MagUidhir@larabirdsnp@theSNP Oh dear... looks like one of the flock got its knickers in a twist. And after all that outrage, you're still on the losing side.
@vkgscotland1 Oh dear, oh dear... another parrot, just repeating what a few thousand others have already said. Less independent thinking, more sheep bleating.
