Thing is there's no arguments in complaints about Sturgeon other than Krankie or poisoned dwarf. Same with Dianne Abbott (big fat black woman) Corbyn Geograpyteacher etc etc. No substance just bile. Poor debating tactic that ensures the poster has no credibility.

Quite right mindless abuse in place of argument.

And the venom frequently much more personal against women that it is men. God knows there are plenty of reasons to criticize Abbott - the hypocrisy of sending her keds to a private school for starters without the need for personal abuse.

As for Sturgeon; I am not sure whether it is just because she is clearly very good at what she does - and this has got nothing to do with whether you agree with her or not - or whether it is powerlessness at the fact that the SNP appear to get more of a say at Westminster than London does in Holyrood but I cant help but laugh at the weakness of the Krankie style comments


Cant be a hypocrit myself, I have used the Corbyn comment - though it would have been sociology lecturer because he reminds me so much of a character in a novel by Malcolm Bradbury

If they had independence after we left Europe they would be up s***e creek without a paddle.
There oil is running out,she is doing it to justify her position.
And that brings us to the wonderful Dianne Abbot,well apart from her racist views (which she seems to get away with wonder why).
Then there is the Sheer hypocrisy of the private school fiasco...don't do as I do ..do as I say,the very epitome of the champagne socialist.

What has calling someone Jimmy Krankie got to do with the substance of any discussion about Scottish independence? Apart from getting a lazy giggle from it?

You say that the Scottish economy is up s*** creek without a paddle if it left - after 250 year in the UK? That seems to be a reason for leaving not staying. The definition of madness is to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result

Happy to comment on any actual examples of Abbot's racism. I dont think anyone is complaining about criticism of actual policies it is when it gets into her being black ugly and or dumpy that you cross the line

When are we going to bring back pounds, shillings and pence - and those lovely threepenny bits.

I didn't say that you personally did (with regard to Abbott at least) let me rephrase that as "one crosses a line"

I think the court decision yesterday that the UK does not have to consult Scotland over brexit means a 2nd referendum is going to happen.

1. How do you back up this assertion?
2. Other than 1 tweet taken out of context that I've seen, do you have any examples of her racism?
3. The school thing. Difficult situation to be in - if she can afford to send her son to the school he wants to go to, why not. You are a parent, what would you do? Doesn't mean she doesn't want to aim for a fully comprehensive system.

Certainly more likely to happen. A second referendum is justifiable in my view because there has been a significant change since the last one in that the UK is leaving the EU. There wont be a third for a generation so Sturgeon will be calculating whether she thinks she will win (and whether they might win a further term in Hollyrood which would enable them to delay it for a while.

And what were you calling Theresa May the other day?

I disagree with you on 3. Given her views and her position in the Labour Party to say she gets a free pass because she can afford "better" is ridiculous.

I have rather more respect for Corbyn who stuck to his principles even at the cost of his relationship splitting up.

There are no circumstances where I would send my children to fee-paying schools. I despise them. What I might do is move house to a place where there are better (state) schools.

Just to check, if we want to slag off Sturgeon, Abbott or Corbyn we need to provide substance, but if we want to slag off Farage, Trump or May we're exempt? Just so I can get some context.

How about not slagging off anybody at all.

We'd only be on page 5 of this debate then though!

I agree. What we need is a great big melting pot.

You mean like he did when he pretended he was a Remainer?
