Nicola Sturgeon is rubbish

Deputy First Minister had her day campaigning on the streets ruined yesterday by an angry bin man. He hijacked her to demand to know why the SNP government wasn’t doing anything to support bin men facing brutal attacks from the SNP/Liberal coalition that runs Edinburgh City Council. The bin man, Charlie Docherty, did a pretty [...]

Liveblog round 2: Who the fuck are these people?

Are you watching the Scottish Leaders’ Election debate tonight? We thought not.

SNP: Believing the mephedrone hype

As the hysteria over Mephedrone in the mainstream media builds towards fever pitch, the SNP have tried to prove to the world that their agenda is set by the tabloids EVEN MORE than the Labour party. SNP MSP Fergus Ewing has trumpeted how he has written to the UK government demanding a ban on mephedrone, [...]

Megrahi – Lockerbie's scapegoat.

SNP Justice Minister Kenny MacKaskill’s decision to free convicted Lockerbie bomber Al Megrahi on the grounds of compassionate release has unleashed a tornado of criticism upon both himself and the devolved administration. He has been attacked by virtually all other opposition parties, tabloid newspapers, and even the current director of the FBI Robert Mueller who [...]
