Of course there are – some of them are proud of Scotland, they can’t all like being linked to the Westminster crew especially when that crew are incompetent and scuppering the ship.
]]>Scotland’s most popular political blog. Read widely by MPs, MSPs and the MSM. But…
“It’ll mean absolutely nothing”
Come off it. You’ll be used when they need to use you. And it’ll be against independence, not self ID.
Your call to vote for Alba and your conversion to the Tory party have something in common – they have to go through the MSM to get traction.
Does what happened to the first one not inform you about what is going to happen to the second one? You really think they’re going to shoot that gifthorse in the face? That the author of the WBB now votes Tory and would, I assume, vote No too?
Point the gun at the SNP all you want but don’t start effectively pointing it at me in your pique.
]]>It’ll mean absolutely nothing. If people cared what I thought a lot more of them would have voted Alba in 2021. Also, most people are’t totally thick and realise Bath isn’t in Scotland.
]]>Fine. It’s your vote and it’s your site. Do what you like with them. But you’re way way way off the path and in the weeds with both at the moment.
I’ll credit you with the nous to realise what it means and what’s going to happen when it comes out that the author of the WBB, the destroyer of the pretensions and grift of the MSM and BBC, the guy who took a SLAB leader to court and made her look like an erse, etc., now votes Tory.
You just don’t care. Again, that’s fine. You’re a grown up, think what you want.
But don’t ever pretend you voted Tory thinking about anyone other than yourself. They all tell themselves that lie.
You know who’s going to kill more women than bogus self IDers? The Tory fucking government. By a factor of thousands.
And you’ve just elected to walk off the battlefield and take your ball with you because you don’t get to take all the penalties.
What did the reaction to your latest shot at a Pulitzer tell you? The same thing has happened before re widely trailed gotchas and exposes. And what did you learn?
You don’t have anything like the reach you think you do. You don’t have influence beyond what you’re allowed to have. You need as many friends and allies as you can get. Indy wise and gender wise.
And you’ve decided how to do that is to announce you’re going to vote Tory. In the UK in 2023. Unbelievable.
How many of those who lionised your effort the other day would agree that’s the right answer? Or even a tiny part of it? A helluva lot fewer than would tell you to sober up or GTF, I’m betting.
They’ll find out about your Tory tendency when your Yes and No enemies decide they can most profit from it. And then you’ll lose a shitload of them too.
There is no question and there are no circumstances to which “Vote Tory” is the right answer.
]]>Care to comment now?
You accuse me of wanting to draw attention to Stu’s Tory voting. In doing so, you only betray yourself. You know it’s wrong, don’t you?
Blame the person who points out the fault, not those who commit the fault. A tactic well known and well used by those caught bang to rights and with no hiding place.
]]>There certainly are Tories who intend to vote Yes. About 5% of them, give or take. With the Tories at 20% in the polls, 5% of 20% is 1%.
That’s who this site serves now, is it?
Is this site still even in the business of making a difference or is it just a Look At Me venture these days?
]]>“Why does James Kelly write about you so much”
Because he’s deranged with hatred. Quite why, you’d have to ask him. I’m told he’s now obsessively trawling through the comments here to find stuff to get in a frenzy about. Even I don’t read all the comments here.
