@EdinburghTrams@on_lothianbuses@ScotRail Why are none of the buses that stop at Ocean Terminal on the list? Given it looks like this situation is going to run for a longer period, an extension to the number of bus routes should be put in place (or alternatively a discount/extension to annual tram passes)
@tomfrench85@rosscolquhoun@DaveDooganSNP Fully supportive of this investigation into corruption. I presume those in the SNP including @DaveDooganSNP are also in favour of an inquiry into the Murrell/sturgeon embezzlement scandal?
@Jonnocalypse@iainmacwhirter Success? She reversed Salmond's gains and increased division.
She chose to deepen the divide between unionist and nationalist whereas salmond tried to show how an independent Scotland could be run.
She will go down as an inciduous, lying individual who poisoned Scotland.
@BjCruickshank@iainmacwhirter Bill, you will die a British citizen. I hope that eats you away.
If you had any credibility (no kidding) you'd join the many nationalists who have at least came to the only rational conclusion that Nicola sturgeon is a lying narcissistic bastard.
@JohnSwinney@MhairiHunter About 40% voted for your baldy heid and I bet it would have been less if they knew about your predecessor and her husband dipping the till
Daniel Finkelstein is right. Nicola Sturgeon wants Scotland to believe that the politician who controlled the SNP, dominated Scottish politics and tolerated no dissent somehow knew nothing about what was happening inside her own party. Questions about the money were shut down. Critics were frozen out. Loyalists closed ranks. Now, after Peter Murrell’s conviction, she says she bears no responsibility. You cannot demand total control when things go well and plead ignorance when everything falls apart. Scots are no longer buying it.
@eNeecie Every other day a new motorhome appears in my mother-in-law's drive and Neil hands me another bucket full of jewellery and cosmetics. I can only assume he's got himself a part time job I'm too busy to ask about.
@DougChapmanSCO@afneil Try doing it now Douglas. It's only been 20 plus years soon that you've had the reins of Holyrood, and all the evidence suggests you are utterly incompetent and wasteful. Maybe speak to your colleagues, cut out the grievance, and build a better Scotland for all
The Palestine Action protesters have been characterised as warm, decent, cuddly. I went to talk to them and the mask slipped. Just a question or two about what they really think exposed the increasingly potent and assertive antisemitism in the UK

I see Nicola Sturgeon is once again complaining that I posted a picture of myself wearing a T-shirt with her name on it and the legend 'Destroyer of Women's Rights.' Apparently this didn't 'elevate the debate.'
Is there a clinical term for an individual who has extreme thinness of skin when it comes to their own perceived hurts, coupled with a rhino-hide when it comes to the fear and suffering of others?
I'm thinking in particular of the two women Isla Bryson raped, who had to watch their First Minister squirm and smirk on TV as she tried to avoid admitting he was a man; of the five survivors of male violence who were ready to give evidence to Sturgeon's committee on gender self-ID, but were told to put their concerns in writing while seventeen trans-identified people appeared in person; of the mother of a young girl with a learning disability who campaigned against self-ID because she wanted her daughter to be guaranteed same sex intimate care, should she need it (the mother was presumably one of those female opponents Sturgeon calls 'shrill' and 'hysterical' in her memoir); of the ten-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a public bathroom by a 6'5" paedophile who served his jail sentence in a women's prison because he called himself 'Katie'; of Sandie Peggie, forced to discuss her own menstrual history in public to justify not wanting to undress in view of a 6ft straight cross-dresser in the nurses' changing room; of Marion Millar, dragged into court because she tweeted a picture of suffragette ribbons; of the Scottish rape crisis centres reliant on government funding who were pressured to admit trans-identified males into their services if they wanted funding to continue.
When Sturgeon refers to an 'elevated debate', she means a discussion that takes place within a tiny, smug bubble from which regular women suffering real life consequences of her policies are firmly excluded. These faceless ants are loftily dismissed as bigots, or, to be more precise: 'transphobic, misogynistic, homophobic, maybe racist as well.'
Nicola, you hated the T-shirt picture because you couldn't ignore it, as you'd ignored so many other women trying to make you understand their concerns. Appeals to your empathy, your intelligence and your compassion all failed. Apparently the only way to get through to you is through your vanity.
🧵 Sandie Peggie vs the Lanyard Class
A nurse stood up for women’s rights—and Scotland’s smug, post-modern, post-truth identity-lanyard elite came for her.
But this time, they lost.
Here’s how one woman exposed the post-truth ideology rotting our public institutions 👇

@CraigMurrayOrg@FerroxGhilie@MICKLE_M@J4m35c4mpb3ll@MaureenFairgri1@Scotpol1314 Have you considered that the biggest barrier is the Scottish people? We've proven consistently, in a referendum and in multiple Westminster & Holyrood elections that the majority of us do not support separation. You're swimming against the tide.
