ITV saves viewers from being subjected to stuck record being played live on air.
Stuck record sues. Likely argues that this kind of thing would be outlawed in an independent Scotland.

It's all a crock of shit
She'll never get the indy vote by only allowing the Scottish people to vote for it. LOLZ.
Still, keeps her in her £144,687 a year job, much better than the average £23,150 that the rest of the voters get.

Yeah I know. I've got a job, but I've left the women alone.
Well... They've left me alone...

A tad idealist but have always thought those representing the great unwashed should take the average pay of those they claim to speak for
They might then be more motivated rather than getting their noses into the trough and claiming all expenses possible, Same with those who claim zero hour contracts are welcomed by their employees as it gives them flexibility and a choice of working hours. So if it's so great why are not Management on the same regime? "Yeah fuck off back home on no pay and we will call you in when you need to chair a meeting bully your staff and have a 3 hour business lunch."

Yes!
That's exactly my thinking...
I always wondered how much a politician would make if they were on minimum wage

assuming 7.83 an hour?
According to the independent they usually get 80 days recess a year, note no holidays or sick pay.
So 365-80 to get 285 'working' days, round that up to 41 7 day weeks, deduct another 82 days for weekends so that's them down to 203 days.
According to a survey in 2010, they work 69 hour weeks so that would be 13.8hrs a day. 13.8*203 gives us 2801.4 hrs but we round that down as we're not paying for that .4 as its not even half an hour.
2801*7.83=21, 931.83 less tax of 20% on the 9431.83 above the 12500 threshold, so 21931.83 - 1886.37 = 20045.46
Divide by 12, so 1670.45 per month after tax
But wait, I forgot national insurance contributions so that's another 1595.98 off your take home pay to take you down to about 18,451.28 a year or 1537.60 a month.
Does that help?

Why?!?
What would the attraction be to a job where half the people who were around you thought you were a cunt and you only got £7.83 an hour for the privilege...
It'd certainly make working in an Amazon (other shit jobs are available) warehouse a lot more attractive, and if you were really bothered about making people's living standards better you'd probably try a whole lot fucking harder.
Guess it's easier to look down from the top though? Amirite? Hold my pint!

I'm not following what that's got to do with the suggestions that politicians should adopt the average pay of "the people they speak for"?

They'd supplement it with other income derived from their elevated position in society
Just like they all do now

They represent the electorate i.e. all voters in their constituency
So that average would vary from mp to mp

Always funny to see people getting upset about Scotland being in the UK and simultaneously getting upset about the idea of Scotland leaving the UK...
(, Wed 13 Nov 2019, 23:04, Reply)
Nah, but...
It's upsetting to see someone on television who likes to be part of a really big fruity club continually asking if they can leave another fruity club, without actually having the capability of being in either that big fruity club without being in the other smaller fruity club.
You understand like yeah, and r u still ok hun?

You're "upset" that Sturgeon is promoting the idea of an independent Scotland within the EU?
Why does that upset you?

I don't mind the SNP.
It's Sturgeon I can't fucking stand. Anybody who can't respect the outcome of vote they championed because its not the result they hoped for is a cunt.
Plus, we're not ready to be independent. Have you seen the Scottish Parliament in action? Jesus fucking Christ. What are we going to base out economy on? Shortbread and almost the best Whisky in the world? Brilliant idea, that.

Why would you try and base an economy on shortbread and whisky?
That just seems daft.

It's nothing but playing politics
Brexit is likely inevitable at this point, so playing for independence means it's possible to use the angle that you can worm your way back into the EU after. That covers the remain. Then there's the hard nationalists who fucking hate UK and England. They want oot and probably voted leave anyway. I'm not sure the Tories would be up for another Indie vote, but it's possible Labour could be convinced (depending on the election result obvs)

It is absolutely playing politics.
They stand on a platform of being the only ones who can stand up to the evil Tories in Westminster, but their success is the reason we've got a Tory government. The only party that can unseat the Tories is Labour, and they need the Scottish seats to be able to win an election.
Tactically it's really clever as it means the SNP get to have their cake and eat it. It probably isn't doing Scotland any good in the long run though as the SNP can just be marginalised as a minority party in Westminster.
While we're at it, how do nationalist parties like UKIP get such a hard time, but the SNP get a free pass?

I'm not aware of the SNP getting a "free pass"?
However the SNP have always promoted an inclusive, civic nationalism. That's why so many Scots of English origin have chosen to settle and build lives in Scotland. UKIP, in contrast, peddle an insular, xenophobic nationalism, based on fear of "the other".
It's not difficult to see the difference.

Would be better if she poured herself one while Bojo blabered onwards to nothing...
As soon as Bojo finished she raised her glass with an accusing pinky pointing at Mr Fake Bad Hair:
"THAT'S SHIITE, YOU'RE SHIITE" she blared like a well ventilated highlander, took a sip "And he'res why, ya crock of lies.."
Followed by a well formulated venting that would have brought a tear to the eye of a war hardened Billy Connolly.
"...aye to that, and to sum it up FARK OFF ya lying piece of SHIITE." She would conclude, gently waving the now empty glass of single malt.

There are lots of things Sturgeon can be justifiably criticised for, but what can't be denied is that she takes her job seriously, and delivers a consistent message.
That's a stark contrast with the moral emptiness, serial falsehood and straightforward incompetence of lazy media performer, Boris Johnson.
I think Sturgeon gets a lot of flak simply because she's a strong woman. That's still a problem for a lot of insecure people.

I'm all for Scottish independence
Granny Weasel was a Scot, so I should be able to get hold of a Scottish passport, and reclaim entry to EU thru the backdoor, laughing at y'all True Blood Eng/Welsh/NI, slowly sinking deeper into the mire.
Also, the idea of the fabled blue passport having the unicorn stripped from it tickles me. Maybe they'll put the dragon in it's place?
