Sign of things to come perhaps, after a couple of decades of destruction, criminality, sectarianism, camper vans and no ferries the Jocks are coming to their senses and booting out the SNP, what took them so long I wonder.

Sign of things to come perhaps, after a couple of decades of destruction, criminality, sectarianism, camper vans and no ferries the Jocks are coming to their senses and booting out the SNP, what took them so long I wonder. Read this preview of the by-election ballotbox.scot/preview-jedburgh/Just because the SNP councillor had resigned does not mean the Nationalists were defending the seat. The SNP came 2nd, in a three seat ward, the other two seats were won by the Tories. The total Tory support in 2022 came to 50.3%. That Tory support, in a one seat contest, coalesced round the Tory candidate this time round, was the expected outcome. It was no surprise. The Tory candidate on Thursday, John Bathgate, stood as an Independent in 2022, amassing 15.1%. His support possibly came from across the board but, if he had not stood, much of his backing would likely have gone to one of the other Tories, resulting in a probable match of their %age achieved on Thursday. Also, I suspect the turnout was a fair bit down on the 49.4% recorded in 2022. Many SNP voters, knowing their party had no chance, would not have bothered voting. |

FFS jonsky. You and ommy having orgasms over a council by election result? Things must be getting desperate. No desperation here Tom... It was a council by election , held in a seat where the tories have held the Holyrood seat for the past fifteen years , under a proportional voting system. It's no big deal. Ommy is desperate to relive his childhood memories of his mammy and daddy running the farm in Dumfries while the natives were all locked in the slums of the central belt voting labour , and the empire was secure. The Scottish political scene as it stands upsets him dearly , so he comes on these threads every now and then grasping at straws. dont worry about it. |

Any seat he SNATS do not win is a nail in their coffin... |

Tommo says,
Sign of things to come, which is why I have brought it to your attention. Daddy was a lorry driver not a farmer by the way, you might make some attempt to incorporate some accuracy into your posts,now and again.

Retract the farmer bit and replace with lorry driver. The rest of my post stands though. About your desperate wish for scotland to go back to the 1970`s. There will be ups and downs , in political terms , but it's clear the direction scotland , like Northern Ireland is going. Who am I to piss on your fireworks though over your wee council by election euphoria? come now ommy , we all exaggerate sometimes , but this is fucking rich coming from you. If we started a thread about inaccurate posts on Scottish politics , you would dominate pages. |

I would like to invite you to put in a quotation any post that I have ever made (ever), that is not factually correct regarding Scottish issues, its governance and citizens.

In a few years the Nats will be down to three people in a pub sharing a half pint of Aldi larger and a very thin roll up and she will still proclaim it as a victory for the men in frocks
"Why Moray, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for a fucking camper van?

I don't know about T, but I can't be arsed trawling through your posts. However, from memory, the most glaring accusation you make is that the SNP is anti-English. Time and again you, and others, have been asked to provide evidence to support this drivel! For whatever reason, you, and the others, have been very reticent in coming forward with examples. This is YOUR opportunity to provide some credible evidence. Something that will stand up to scrutiny. |
