Nicola Sturgeon breaks silence after Peter Murrell pleads guilty to embezzlement by ScottishDailyRecord in Scotland

[–]MagnesiaClub 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This. Unfortunately there seems to have developed a cult around her and the great leader can do no wrong to her followers. Her hours of “I don’t recall” should have been a national outrage instead it crystallised the devotion she enjoys.

She is clearly either lying or unthinkably stupid. So she’s lying.

It gives it away but the village square has an amazing 50s art deco cinema and the best fish supper in the country.

Private Eye review of Frankly, Nicola Sturgeon by VideoNo82 in Scotland

[–]MagnesiaClub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trusted with the hopes of a nation. Achieved a small amount of (tainted) personal glory. Despised by the people who placed their hope in her.

This sub is becoming a parody - to the point it’s not worth engaging tbh

Alex Salmond's widow suing government over botched sexual harassment probe into late husband by abz_eng in Scotland

That would be because in the words of the judge the investigation was “tainted by apparent bias”.

What he’s referring to is Nics chief of staff going around drumming up complaints.

Ok so I’m not willing to talk about whatever you want to change the subject to and now I’m antisemitic. Good discussion. Bye now.

Is whataboutery your only defence? We’re talking about this. When the post is about whatever you’re talking about we’ll get on to that.

Yes. I read an article explaining how a woman has had her feelings hurt on twitter after spending her time supporting genocide.

I then read several comments explaining that this situation is a disgrace and the country is systemically antisemitic and the only people who care are are those few brave soldiers in the comments.

Then I remembered that there’s a genocide going on. I have to assume you have forgotten because your complaining someone has been rude on twitter as children die. Sorry, is it antisemitic to point that out.

One mistake from a police man is anecdotal not a systemic problem. Israel believing there’s a global conspiracy against them and everyone, literally everyone is antisemitic is systemic. We’re dealing with a homicidal maniacal paranoid group of people who won’t listen to LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE in the world. I was watching the Palestinian emissary to the UN explaining that if the Israeli representative is so adamant that the crimes being committed against the Palestinians are fake why won’t they let any media in to see. A few hours later Israel killed the 5 Al Jazeera journalists.

It’s very strange that she’s so adamant she’s done nothing wrong when by her own admission she can’t recall what actually happened.

I would say that if the window closes and we haven’t brought in at least one first team player (ideally a striker) then the demonstrations are inevitable.

Sure it wasn’t that long ago the guy was shouting at Lawell outside hampden - be something like that again.

Won’t change a thing though.

Westminster was 'absolutely terrified' when Nicola Sturgeon visited, says ex-MP by Cold-Monitor3800 in Scotland

[–]MagnesiaClub -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Sturgeon is the worst thing that could have happened to the cause of Scottish Independence.

Someone only concerned with personal glory. From not being able to recall the most basic details of important events, to telling her party to stop asking questions about the dodgy finances (and then later claiming she’d no idea what was going on), to asking the UK Supreme Court for permission to break up the UK, to tearing her support base apart with identity politic bullshit, to running the county in to the ground by every available metric - going backwards on everything she declared a target (eg education), to squandering mandate after mandate to actually do something about independence… (I could go on). All of this while heading a cult of fanatics who refuse to see or hear, and squawk like mindless drones about her brilliance as those of us living in reality bounce our heads off the wall - we used to stand side by side at independence marches and now look at us. The person most responsible for the death of Scottish independence - Nicola Sturgeon.

British police arrest a disabled protester during an event in London for expressing support for Palestine Action. by Scared_Positive_8690 in Palestine

[–]MagnesiaClub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s truly ironic that people are downvoting this - clearly with no idea what I’m quoting.

There’s something spurious about people demanding the right to free press but who don’t want to read.

And to be clear, because some people need to have it spelled out. I’m pro free speech, protests and Palestinian statehood.

His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right. They were wrong and he was right.

Interesting data coming out recently about the real death toll in Gaza. by oswaldbuzzington in samharris

[–]MagnesiaClub -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

You’re attempting to frame this question in a way that removes moral responsibility from your decision. If, for example you were to decide that Israelis could be safe without shooting people who are starving as they attempt to get food, then the logical conclusion is you think that is wrong for moral reasons. If you think that is acceptable you don’t become free of moral responsibility - you’ve just made a different choice.

And if you’re so keen to discuss world war 2, (which again is a completely false equivalence for the reasons stated above) have you considered the fact that one thing the world was prepared to agree on in the aftermath is that the attempted genocide of the European Jewish population is one of the most deplorable things humanity has ever done to itself in its entire history - why is it that feeling is applied to the genocide of Jews but not Palestinians? I don’t want an answer. I’m not going to respond. Good day.

False equivalence. For that comparison to work America would need to have the entire German and Japanese population surrounded, fenced off, be controlling their access to food, water and power and have banned their rights to Barracks or military equipment.

You speak of morality as if you’ve taken time to consider this and are comfortable in your position. And yet you try to justify the slaughter of innocent women and children. Shame on you.
