Agreed, the man only answers the questions he wants to. Never mind, he's enjoying himself being the duty grammar cop.

I repeat!

I believe I answered the question you posed in #192 in #197!

If you can't accept that, then that's your problem, not mine!

Btw. Luke 4:23

He's a weak individual who now has surrounded himself with some of the nastiest people in Parliament. I wonder how long before Watson and his sub party jump ship.

I don’t think it’s far off, Watson is all of a sudden very vocal on the whole AS issue, he’s doing a lot of media that appears to me to be trying to set himself apart from JC - either he’s about to jump ship, or make a play to take over on the basis JC’s lost control of the party.

Maybe he's about to swap his Nonce Finder General's Hat for an Anti-Semite Finder General's hat.

How on earth can you defend someone without comparing to someone else or something else to try and rationalise the situation? I’m sorry but you are loading the question to make it impossible to answer

Maybe you should run for parliament because you make it impossible to come back without the answering being deemed wrong by weighted questions.

Thanks for the compliment 😀
It’s quite simple. I am just asking you to defend his policies, not criticise others. If a policy or action is valid, surely it can stand on its own merits. Personally I expect more from the Leader of the Opposition than just being not quite as bad as some other people.
If it was a good idea to meet and support terrorists- which he did. It actually happened. It’s on film - then say so and why it was a good idea. If it wasn’t then say so and condemn it.

Latest Scottish Westminster poll has the Scottish Labour party at 1 [one] seat.
SNP at 41 seats.

So Conservatives stay at present number (13).

It's only when the above number changes that 'real' change is likely to happen. Until then, it's only another example of 'Scotland's historic problem' - being too busy fighting amongst themselves to unite against the 'real enemy'!

Trouble is that low number of Labour seats up here, if forecast correct, pretty much ensures a Tory UK Govt no matter how badly May and co. perform as much of rural England votes blue no matter what. Labour had 56 Scottish seats only 20 years ago (before boundary changes and less MPs).
Another Indyref wont be permitted in the short term by UK govt so why do SNP voters not get tactical - back SNP in Holyrood elections and back Labour in UK elections? Too much hatred of Scottish Labour?

Of course if SNP get 41 seats of 59 (69%) at next GE on the basis of 45% overall support (current polling) for their core rasion d'etre that's taking advantage of first past the post system, they'll make themselves heard as 3rd party in commons, but in reality are fairly powerless.

Voting SNP in UK General elections seems like a wasted vote at the moment if you want rid of the Conservatives. Just ends up a protest party in Westminster.

Labour look finished presently everywhere, leadership is weak, policy is confusing, infighting and losing MPs in commons and that summer 2017 Corbyn bubble has truly popped.

They need new leadership at UK level and Scotland back for a realistic go at winning a GE. Neither look likely.
