LOL WUTScotland’s on a roll - moves to abolish trial by jury for rape and attempted rape because juries cannot be trusted to give the “correct” verdict.

Yeah Alex Salmond, as much as I couldn’t stand him, was done dirty by the Scottish government really badly. I don’t know enough about the internal machinations inside the SNP but I wonder if it has been infiltrated by a seriously radical left wing fringe that is desperately trying to push a radical progressive agenda or whether it’s just entirely reactionary and it’s going work in opposition to a Tory-led Westminster or some mixture of both.

I don’t recall the SNP being quite so clownish before under Salmond but again, not living in Scotland under their leadership it’s difficult to tell. I have both the clownish Mayor of London and a London Borough Council that has gone bankrupt for the second or third time due to mismanagement on an industrial scale, so I don’t want to cast stones north of the border as if alls hunkydory down here.

The party was infiltrated by the British security services. They use the 'progressive' stuff like queer theory to split the independence movement. Most real supporters of independence have left the party, and have been replaced by the same parasites who would have been on the Labour gravy train if they were still the dominant party.

Nah they lost it when the referendum failed and had to bend over to the greens to stay in power, but they really only got into power because labour shit the bed up here in Scotland.

They are a weird combo between uber lefty progressives and humourless wee free fuckheads.

I don't think we're disagreeing - they 'lost it' when Salmond quit and that charlatan Sturgeon took over. Hand in glove with the British state, that one.
