skygod Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Why didn't NS take the opportunity to replace him? What a dull, repetitive, leaden-footed speaker! Am listening to him take about 20 mins to say what could be said in five. He isn’t a great advocate for independence in the House, imo. The tone of the Queen’s Speech debate speeches is traditionally light and witty, at least at the outset. The best he could manage was a “quip” about John McGinn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is treated with contempt tho in WM and I cant see anyone else would not be treated the same Time after time I've seen him be talked over or the other parties just get up and walk out when it's his turn because frankly they are not interested and dont give a s**t about us as long as we are shackled to them and they profit from our resources. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and disagree, for me I'd have Alyn Smith, a very calm and considered individual who is superb speaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematics Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 I think that Alyn Smith is an incredible speaker. I am full on gay for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted December 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) He is an MEP though, isn't he? Maybe they will try to get him in via a by-election. Or maybe how the party presents in Westminster doesn't really bother NS that much. Edited December 19, 2019 by skygod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand we could gave the greatest orator on the planet as SNP leader. As far as the government is concerned they have a huge majority so who gives a f**k? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be a better qualified candidate to speak about the EU! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted December 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) I didn't know about Gethins. I thought he was one of the SNP’s best spokesmen in the Commons. Edited December 22, 2019 by skygod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why the unionists united to take his seat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
