      The SNP spent SNP money on SNP stuff. The Police have been investigating this for 3 years. No public money is involved. The National Audit Office said that the Tories have lost ÂŁ21,000 million of public funds to Fraud and Corruption đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

      Which only exists in English and right wing controlled UK media. While at the same time largely ignoring institutionalised corruption in Labour and Conservative parties. Between 1995 to 2010 the transparency index put the UK in the top 10 least corrupt governments now it's ranked 21 and falling. Using the same factors to calculate an index for Scotland shows increasing transparency in the period from 2012 to 2023. Largely because of John Swinney who applied private sector strategies to reduce loss and identify corrupt individuals. He was often accused of being a "bit of a Tory" by Labour.
      Over the last eight years you have seen blatant corruption in the UK government amounting to ÂŁbillions go completely unpunished. A Russian with direct links to Russia's FSB buys his way into the House of Lords. You ignore all of that to focus on what? Can you even explain what exactly is this "corruption" you claimed? Not to me but to your self? Did any money go missing? Did any money suddenly appear? Was it dodgy book keeping on overspending on elections and not declaring? Conservative and Labour Party candidates have blatantly stolen campaign funds and expenses in the ÂŁ100's of millions over the last 40 years. (adjusted for inflation) Not to mention the works of art taken from museums and galleries to decorate government offices only to disappear. Later to turn up at auction a decade later being sold by family members to MPs, senior civil servants and Lords.
      The UK economy is stagnant and government corruption is spiralling. But concentrate on seats that if still in SNP hands would make zero difference to the 2024 result. Farce.

    Scots going back to vote lending in UK elections and voting otherwise in Scottish Government elections. English commentators will eager jump to conclusions. But only the next Scottish election can confirm any change. Studies and polling data going back decades shows a slow generational shift to restoring independence. When age becomes a predictor in political choice on an issue always side with the younger age groups. The median age range for SNP is 20's to 50's for the Conservatives it's 70's to 80's and Labour 60's to 80's. Long term it's obvious who will be the last standing. Just as we know there is a 50% chance Labour will lose the next election and 90% chance the one after that. Since WW2 I think the Conservatives must have held power close to two third of the time. Only electoral reform can change this cycle and Labour like the Conservatives will never allow that regardless the cost to the UK.

    Missing the point(s). Scotland is fed up with divisive politics, and Swinney's latest comments on "de facto referendum" from this election reminded us of the damage done by the SNP with their previous referendum. Secondly, that previously when Ruth Davidson promised voting Scottish Conservatives was the best way to stop the independence debate, we got Boris Johnson as well and nobody wanted him. Thirdly, the inability of the SNP to do anything right, or what the vast majority of Scotland wants. We want to see ferries delivered, on time, on budget, and not wasting so much of our money that Calmac could have replaced their entire fleet for less. Then there's Deposit Return Scheme, in a country that already has kerb side recycling. Nobody wants to take their bottles back to the supermarket when they're also paying the council to come round and take away our recycling too. That was just going to be another SNP tax, and the SNP like to tax us. Fourth, identity politics, eroding women's rights is not something any parliament should ever do. Trans definitely need more help and recognition, but not at the expense of women's rights.

    *The Nonces do DIRE STRAITS*
    Times have been hard for the group formerly known as the *Singing Nonces Party* and now, after rebranding, just called *The Nonces* . In an attempt to start again they have released their favourite tracks from *DIRE STRAITS* on an EP available from their store priced at 600,000 smackeroonies. It features:
    Sultans of Swing - Useless on Mutta, vocals by *Barry WHITE WHITE WHITE*
    Money for Nothing - Waity Katy on Kartal
    Walk Of Life - Fiona 'Leggit' Hyslop on Sarod
    Southbound Again -'Sleekit' Sturgeon on the A9
    Private Investigations - Dotty Bain on Dulcimer
    Tunnel of Love - featuring The Saturday Girl
    *Sultans of Swing* was their breakthrough single, though the *WHITE* vocals were a distraction. *Money for Nothing (It's all FREE) * became a MONSTER hit and an alternative 'anthem' for many. Unfortunately it's follow up ' *Can't Be Ar$ed* ' was pulled after after advice from ' *Dotty* ', who had a day job as a Lawyer and was doing alright, thankyou, had concerns about 'Hurty words'. *Sleekit* left the group under a bit of a cloud after some of the group's finances went missing. Tunnel of Love, featuring the Saturday Girl, was the groups most infamous track. It was the subject of much gossip and speculation and was attacked by many religious and women's' pressure groups.
    Following the failure of the group to win at the latest BRIT contest, it is rumoured the Nonces will disband unless Beryl, the backing singer, can get the group's minibus back so they can support the up and coming ULEZ on a National tour.

    The majority of Scots want independence and they have given the SNP too many chances to keep to their promise of independence. Where do the independence voters go? They are still there and will grow and grow. The SNP or another party is going to have to enact a state of independence on a majority in a Scottish election. Notice of this should be made to the UN and of course England. This enactment must be automatic on an independence majority and the 1707 UK union instantaneously desolved. No more messing around.
