Jumping ship before some scandal hits the press, do we think?
Make you wonder. She and her husband swerved the bullying / threatening behaviour issue. But it does seem to have gone pear-shaped over her absolute belief in rapists human rights, instead of the victims.

Yeah, I reckon she's jumping first before loads of shit comes out about men in Scottish prisons and child trans abuse horrors.

Wonder if there's blowback for Scotland in this forthcoming book (about the Tavistock Clinic)?

My guess is she's pregnant after being raped by a trans woman whilst on a visit to a women's jail.

Why would it? :eh:

(It's not about all of what the Tavistock does, just the GIDs unit. I think very many there will be glad to see it gone :thumbup: ).

I expect the book will divide people...it's been written by a BBC person :D

I (unusually) listened to the whole speech.

I think she didn’t say why she’s resigning.

That last question (police investigation) was suspiciously well timed. Who set that up?

A new scandal to add to:
Ferries fiasco, several scandals for the price of one
Trans right arguments
Declining health service
Education system problems
Air traffic control strikes
Dodgy loan from her husband to the SNP
Accusations of bullying
Knowing about Salmond being a sex pest and not doing anything

There's probably more too. And then there's the internal party strife on how to claim the country has de facto voted for independence in the next GE whatever the result.

I loathe independence politics.

I'll STFU now.

A similar, south of the border, list would not take long to create.

True for all parties and I suspect all governments the world over, but they wouldn't be able to shrug it off as Westminster's fault, nor offer FREEDOM as the only solution. E.g. One of the reasons for the ferry fiasco: Not enough choice of yards, if Thatcher hasn't closed them all down(sic) this would never have happened.

If the SNP could offer a single argument for independence that wasn't exactly echoed by a Brexit argument they might be worth taking seriously.

It'll be interesting to see how The National spins it tomorrow.

I'll be very surprised if the trans abuse of young people, for example the moderate to highly autistic, stopped south of the border. But we'll have to wait and see of course.

Plus, I can't help but think that if you had been shagging Boris, you'd remember!

Honestly. You have a minor disagreement at work and you find yourself getting sacked over nothing.....

German ballet director who smeared critic with faeces sacked

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64664563


Adds a whole new dimension to the expression 'I got a bit shit-faced after work'. :P

Local chav & three other morons park next to a lifted Ford Excursion (That's the *big fucker*)
Chav slides under the SUV to steal the catalytic converter.
Woman in SUV wakes up to strange noises, thinks someone is trying to break into the vehicle.
Fires it up & backs out of parking space
*squish*
One less thief :)
