SNP collapse

Collapse they will IMO,  I think they are done as a brand / Party now.

Anything can happen this stage of the season. Teams in the bottom can go away to anyone and win from nowhere...but I just don't see a big performance in them.

They're gone

 

The money absolutely wasted at Everton is a thing to behold. 

The current footballer assets vs what they traded to get here.

Be great if these lose big tonight.

0-6,  0-3 after 17 minutes would be brilliant.

All quiet on the SNP apart from the Police are apparently looking at money left to SNP in wills as part of their fraud investigation which is always a look political parties look to be involved in as it says "Class" 
They will change their name at a certain point,  I mean they have too ? 
Everyday there is a story.  A bad story.

Everton are a real club like us. All clubs have bad fans but some of my best mates are Everton fans.

Don't really care who goes down myself 

I can't stand them,  the Small Heath of Liverpool but in a arguably bigger shadow than even small heath.

I hope they drop. What their fans were doing last year and for some of this has been disgraceful. Setting off fireworks outside opposition team hotels and intimidating them with flares and general thuggish behaviour when their buses arrive. The death threats to the board and general hysteria.

Its a game ffs. Just go down with some dignity.

Everton are just a scum club to be fair.

A couple episodes into The Diplomat starring Keri Russell among others.

It's your usual agent, mystery, big politics drama but it's pretty snappy and entertaining. Also Keri Russell.

I watched the 1st episode and bailed.  It's a bit like the office in a way.

I suspect its just a feint to attempt

I suspect there is a lot of this going on at the moment from both sides,  once they really go,  there is no turning back so it has to be decisive. 

If they do what I think they will do successfully then Russia will have serious problems and might just give up.

She's just that bloody stupid.

I often wonder how general house hold accidents haven't taken her long before now.  She always looks like she's "just remembered she left the gas on"
Gas,  electric, falls and fires to name but a few.  Amazing,  maybe she's in a bungalow or something.
I have had loads accidents and various things. I can balance and everything.

I think it's a gift horse for Starmer. Acted swiftly, no room for comments like that blah, get's rid of another thorn in his side and shows he won't tolerate such nonsense

Depends,  its also a loss of basic control.  I mean,  she has got form.

How it's received by voters, who knows ?

Abbott now has whip suspended by Labour Party pending investigation into above

Just a guess,  is this the point where the polling data starts changing and the gap starts reducing ? 

There are many small fires that Starmer has kept relatively under control recently,  one could say it was quite quiet and then out of nowhere,  petrol can woman seems to arrived unannounced and she hasn't screwed the top on correctly.

Resident nut job on my fb timeline says his sim card is out of his phone and all settings changed. I assume this is related to the emergency warning test today.

There must be a pretty funny conspiracy theory doing the rounds about it which Mr Clever has done his research on.

We have had it for many years here,  it is quite a good thing.

The only people who need to be worried are people who have 2nd secret phones in their sock draw or under the bed.  

Or the SNP.

I watcher the Luther Film on Netflix:  4/10

I was hoping for much better,  long running time so it should all work.

There are so many things wrong with it that it would take too long.

So we know what the S in the SNP party stands for - sleaze national party.

 

In their defense,  nobody from the top echelons of the SNP has been arrested or held in a police cell today. 

How many days since last arrest = 1 Day Progress

It'll be really interesting at the election how this affects them. Do you think a lot of their voters actually care or is the cause of independence more important than any wrongdoing they've done?

Support for Independence is reducing,  Now 35-39% (Depending on who you ask).  Personally,  I think the SNP is done and people will jump to ALBA maybe but that party commands 1% of the vote.  Independence was over in 2014,  just because the SNP say it isn't,  they need a carrot. They have run out of money also and the 600k really has gone from the accounts.  

I don't know as I'm not a Scot and don't live there, but I suspect you'll see some vote share decline but not enough.

The irony of the SNP is that if they achieved their flagship policy it would almost certainly destroy them. What does a single issue party do when that isn't an issue anymore?

Agreed,  it was always like a pyramid scheme to make some people money and give false hope,  but a lot of people made a living out of it.

The only logical step now (hopefully) a Sturgeon arrest,  almost everyone else has been nicked.  She signed it all off I guess,  her fingers have touched it all.

It was always going to collapse as its built on lies.

Luckily for the SNP,  today only 1 person has got arrested in connection with,  how long you got ?

SNP treasurer Colin Beattie arrested.
When parties are unopposed like the SNP,  they mostly go corrupt and criminal I suspect.

For anyone interested, the Antiques Roadshow at 8pm this evening is from Aston Hall.

Memorabilia from an Aston Villa footballer on show.

For balance, small heath are on next week from a shed that is painted blue on the inside but is untouched on the outer side due to the recent application of a ronseel type treatment.

Someones got some old tools and a box of 1980's Radio times.  

A proper secret video of Sturgeon was released today talking to the NEC.

This is unbelievably bad for Sturgeon. Every single day more stuff is coming out.  It is very funny to be fair.

I paraphrase but its basically "Don't tell anyone we're having serious money troubles because people will stop donating to us and we need the donations".   

Legally she is on thin ice here I suspect,  she was very concerned the public don't find out about it either.
 

I am still convinced something is going on,  could be a re brand as the SNP brand is finished.

Possible name is SIP.

I don't drink but the day it goes bust and is shut down I will jump on a plane and we can go up town and I will have a drink with whoever wants to.

fingers crossed, It could be this...

As long as they can't even work out where it used to be then this is OK,  nothing else though like a sign or bench,  none of that stuff.

Like it was never there.  In fact spend a bit of money and regenerate so the feeling is,  "I am glad it's gone" and stuff like that.

Removing it from the Internet and books,  not sure how to do this.
