schools budget has been robbed to pay for free uni.

Still a budget underspend even with that so just not paying teachers to increase people's perception of a disfunctional relationship with Westminster.

All the SNP care about is getting independence.  If they have let a few Scots die in the process - that is fine by them...

Utter c**ts to be honest but Scots seem to be too thick to get it...

It's exhausting, the fact that there are a solid 30% of the electorate who don't give a shit how bad the SNP are as independence is more important than anything else.

[steviewevie]

what I don't get is thick english people constantly voting tory and then brexit and buying the mail and being c**ts.

No wonder Scots want indpendence.

Seems like there is a brain cell left up north...  Just a shame it seems to be on time share...

Now Sturgeon states Bryson is claiming to be transgender as an easy way out. I thought this wouldn’t happen.

[steviewevie]

Trump is talking about trans rights, I guess hoping to stoke a culture war out if it, excite his supporters, and probably excite some on here.

As Lewis points out the Ukrainians don’t want to invade Russia so arms wouldn’t be used for that. So he’s basically saying he wouldn’t be sending arms to help them defend themselves.

Use the mod report thing don't tag me. It looks like someone else removed it before I saw but I'm busy ATM so mostly just occasionally drifting into the football thread.

What I do quickly want to share, albeit as a Twitter dump post:

Corbyn is making excuses for Putin and is being evasive on supporting Ukraine.

I'm not going to throw out any suspensions/restrictions when I've not been following to get context. There's other mods that can do that at the times I'm barely around.

But don't get personal again.

You do have to wonder if they have had dealings with each other before they became leading figures in their countries. I’m pretty sure the KGB would haven taken interest in high profile activists in the 80s.

I think Corbyn is too fucking stupid for the KGB to want to actively deal with. I think it's just as simple as corbyn is anti-NATO and supporting it's opponents.
