Maybe they will try doing something for the Scottish people instead of Palestine
Don’t be naive.
That would certainly be a novelty???
can't really do much without the powers of a normal independent country.
@kallclan welcome to Islamic Scotland
@kallclan I see the CZcams t h o u g h t police, are on the beat?
Maybe something for the Scottish people by a Scotish would be a good strat.
The only way I'll support SNP ever again if it is Kate Forbes :-)
Appealing to the structure of reality would be a good start.
might be difficult as she believes in a deity in the sky
Can we just be glad Hamaz has gone….
Still have an SNP problem.
And need to deport Hamza to Gaza ideally.
I think Kate Forbes is finally getting the message regarding the SNP. She's having second thoughts about their aims, methods, and the damage they're doing, and continue planning to do.
She's quite wisely holding back. For her own sake, the best thing for her would be to jump ship. The people in Scotland are getting the message. She should get on the right side of the argument.
Her "religious lifestyle" proves she hasn't a clue about anything. We don't need that kind of person running Scotland, we need someone who doesn't believe that fairies are real.
Kate Forbes would be a pretty terrible choice. Although I support Scottish indepence, she has been a pretty terrible advocate for it. So far, she offers nothing interesting, and a bunch of liabilities. But of course she wants the position.
I completely agree with your assessment of Forbes. While I may stand on the opposite side regarding independence, I still believe in approaching the issue and those who argue for it with respect due. I've seen what division can do in other countries and it is something we need to avoid.
Regarding the difficulty in advocating for 'Indie 2.0', I see it as a poisoned chalice. Many of the key issues are deeply geopolitical, and in today's world, marked by increased instability compared to two decades ago, these challenges are barely acknowledged by our current Scottish Government. Defense, for instance, has become a compelling pro-UK argument, especially with defense spending set to rise significantly.
I've also come to see Brexit and the call for independence as similar in their rhetoric, avoiding substantial issues in favor of nationalism. However, while Brexit was undoubtedly very shortsighted, we can't ignore the flawed approach to immigration within the EU. Its policy causing its own set of problems, worsening year by year and eroding the cultures of many European cities. As a nation with a small population, I fear that leaving the UK would subject us to a rough period where we'd be at the mercy of larger players, namely the EU who I presume we would be joining?
I just can't see them not putting pressure on us to 'take' in numbers of people disproportionate to our population size, Ireland is already experiencing this issue. The EU is also increasingly trying to avoid 'special cases' with membership which would make it hard for us to have the opt-outs we enjoyed as the UK member state.
The EU's obliviousness to the immigration reality has sparked friction within the collective. Poland, Hungary, and now Italy are increasingly at odds with the EU's stance, and it's alarming to see this disconnect on the ground (I work in both Scotland and the EU). I had hoped figures like Le Pen in France would serve as a wake-up call, highlighting the urgency of addressing this issue in a calm, more centrist way.
They missed the boat with Ash Regan last year, whoever comes in is really going to put the work in to fix the party.
Will Scotland still want to put Harry Potter's mom in prison?
Not sure tbh.
From Lerwick to Lockerbie
Scotland is now free!
Just ask the WEF wants
The SNP needs a change - let’s have a smart woman - Kate Forbes fits the bill!
Kate Forbes seems like a nice lady. Swinney is too old & will not have enough energy.
It's an opportunity for SNP to start thinking & working for UK instead of some other land.
John Sweeney dont forget the mess he made of the nhs
Why not an election and let the people chose what happens next instead of just handing over the hat to someone else not elected.
SNP???
Bahahahahaha!!🖕🏻🖕🏻
Kate Forbes would be brilliant
What? In the Forbes Rich List lol?
God no😂
She's against sex before marriage, it's going to alienate a huge portion of the electorate with her out of date religious dogma
No. She believes that fairies are real and wants to force her "religious lifestyle" on normal people.
They won’t vote for Forbes, she’s got a brain and sensible opinions so that puts her out of the running
Kate to intelligent to take over a wrecked ship ( humza nackered snp good & proper )
Aye that's aw we need,a Wee free running Scotland.😒
Hopefully we get Forbes and not some other cherry picked carpet sniffer
God no she is a bigoted asshat
Just happy hammas useless is away now
Vote for kate
Boaty McBoatface couldnt do worse.
Don Williams hair that I'm saying right now I'm the one that is controlling him asking that's my blood nobody on this world I feel very well
She will fix the SNP and set Scotland on the path of independence.
Not happening Scotland is staying🤣🇬🇧
😂😂😂😂
Scotland goes downhill what else
Come on Kate. Do it for Jesus & Common sense 🙌
Don’t think religion is very big there, thank god!
Jesus ain't real and trans people are so 😂😂😂
Will she repeal the islamic blasphemy law?
🏴 PATRIOT✌️👩; 🏴 PATRIOT✌️👩; 🏴 PATRIOT✌️👩; 🏴 PATRIOT✌️👩...VICTORY for 🏴 PATRIOT✌️👩❗️YES, YES, YES ‼️ HOOOREEE ...✊️👩
The whole party’s toxic.
Deport him to Gaza?
We need someone that can work across the whole Parliament. We know the elephant in the room is Gender Ideology and the extreme harm it has caused. This MUST be addressed or the party, and the country is DONE. Time to get back to basics and fix the country. Kate is a strong contender and she would get my vote.
She's going to alienate too many of the population with her antiquated religious pish
The only way the public will respect the SNP will to to let Kate Forbes in not honest John
Kate Forbes would be an outstanding First Minister!
