Looks as if others want to leave Scotland.

The Orkney Islands could change their status in the UK or even become a self-governing territory of Norway under new proposals.

Yup, been mumblings about this for at least 20 years. They hate the Scottish Government as much they hate Westminster!

Who can blame them? Sturgeon and Youseless have screwed Scotland big time, probably forever. Same for England with the bungling, blustering Boris bullshitter 😕

They do know how much everything costs in Norway, don’t they?

What a mess in Scottish politics is in now

Clearly, an opening for TLF’s very own ‘A’ Team member - @C8RKH.

[exeterjeep]

yeah he'll put them well to rights.

[C8RKH]

I'd be arrested too quickly.

[Chillidoggy]

Not before you’d bought a motor home, surely?

[C8RKH]

I bought a Lotus instead. Easier to conceal and faster to get away

Oh there are so many great memes and pictures doing the rounds but I'd be liable for arrest under our wonderful new Hate Crimes Law.

The thought and hate Polis will be round at your place tomorrow. Oh, hang on a minute, they're still all tied up on Operation Branchform 🤔

And....... the Sturgeon "continuity" candidate continues with the same old Westminster/Union bashing guff. The last paragraph show's just what a shit show the SNP's "positioning" really is. It makes me wonder if people like Swinney and the leadership in the SNP actually ever think before they open their mouths and spout forth their rubbish. The sad thing is that SNP voters will not read past the headline, and then never see the irony.

 

 

First Minister John Swinney says the decision to hold a general election as Scottish schools begin their summer break is the "latest act of disrespect" from the UK government.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the poll would be held on 4 July during a rain-soaked speech at 10 Downing Street.

Mr Swinney said that holding the vote on the first week of the holidays showed the impact on Scots "will not have been given a moment's thought".

New Westminster constituency boundary changes also mean that Scottish voters will now return 57 MPs, down from 59 at the last election.

Mr Swinney, who became leader of the SNP earlier this month, said the Conservative government had done "enormous damage" to Scotland.

He added: "Scotland is protected by the SNP. If you vote for the SNP, you vote for a party that's going to put Scotland first."

The Scottish government had wanted to hold a second independence referendum on 19 October last year - when most schools across Scotland would have been on holiday, including those in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and the Highlands.

First after buying a motorhome, that is.
