RANDOM THOUGHTS

You might be wondering what we Scots have done to deserve this

(Link to article in the title.)

They say it’s because there is no realistic business plan (then maybe work on one!!) I have a notion that it may have something to do with the fact that, back in the days of Blair and Mandy, Labour thought they had a permanent residence in Bute House.

I wonder what Read My Lips thinks of this.

As an aside, great result Scotland. Hat tip to PP for this video.

Awwww, poor wee snowflake grifter

Snowflake Farage cried again about MPs making fun of him – a proper idiot with zero sense, offering this country nothing except bloody racism. Dirty man. #ukpolitics

Awww , sweetheart. We didn’t realise that people calling your half baked party of Trump-style extremist racist losers would upset you so much.

Tell you what, we’ll ask that in future MPs from all parties stop saying nasty things about you that make you want to go to one of your homes and cry while you practise these hand gestures that your friend, Felon Bone Spurs the Rapist taught you. (Very good, btw, although a bit more enthusiasm when you’re playing the accordion, and maybe a hint more orange slap. That should sort things out for you, Petal.)

Tell you what, though, you gave me a laugh when you called yourself the “Honorable” member from Clacton. I mean you calling yourself honorable is one of the best jokes I’ve heard all year. And, by the way, have you worked out where Clacton is yet? Hint: it’s not in DC.

Well, when you’re in with the in-crowd, I guess nothing should surprise you

But where did Mr Mountbatten-Windsor get a title? New Year’s Honours list?

And for what?

***********

Isn’t he lovely? (Arrange these words to make a realistic sentence)

Such a dignified president.

Now let’s have something more cheerful

RANDOM THOUGHTS

Labour now fourth in Scotland

According to a new YouGov poll, Labour has dropped to fourth place behind the SNP, Greens and Liberal Democrats.

Which parties would Scots consider voting for, six months until the Scottish Parliament election?

On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 means you would never consider voting for them, and 10 means you would definitely consider voting for them, how likely are you to consider voting for the following parties at the next election?

% giving a score of 6+ out of 10

SNP 37%

Greens 27%

Lib Dems 26%

Labour 23%

Reform UK 21%

Conservatives 15%

Jeremy Corbyn’s Party 15%

Alba 8%

Nigel’s first job should be…

Make Brits eat turkey at Christmas… on pain of deportation or maybe forcing them to keep Andy Mountbatten-Windsor company?

Just out of interest does every Munguinite eat turkey on Xmas day?

I think we did when I was a kid, but it’s a relatively tasteless meat and as soon as I could, I dropped it.

I’m not a lover of Christmas, so for us at the Towers, it’s just another day. I have no idea what we’ll eat on December 25.

***********

Talking of Reform…

It appears that old Nigel’s party has lost quite a lot of its councillors since they were elected a few months ago. Some have resigned as councillors, some left the party and some have been thrown out for being too weird even for Nigel. Overall, one in 18 of their number have left the party.

***********

Nah, I really don’t think so Sir Mr Starmer

Our kids are the luckiest in the UK

I couldn’t get this to load as a real, but you’ll get it from this link. Well done Scotland. Labour has already made it clear in England that they won’t do this, and could you ever imagine the Tories or Reform giving a damn about poor kids?

Don’t cross me

Rigged Census ? The last census was conducted in 2020 so,if it were rigged, it would have been you that did the rigging. Because, although your dottled little mind probably doesn’t remember, YOU were the president in 2020. Idiot.

Also, I’m not sure if anyone has told you how unpopular you are at the moment, but I am pretty certain that for a large number of intelligent and educated Republicans, your lack of endorsement of candidates in Indiana, or indeed any other state, would probably be of advantage to them.

Struth, you even managed to turn Marjory Taylor Greene against you.

They’re eating their own beef

I’m not too sure that an increase in the number of cattle, and the subsequent amount of beef available, would INCREASE prices. A glut normally results in a price reduction. A scarcity of beef would more likely result in price increases.

SOPPY SUNDAY

My new office.

2 Not much farther, son. We’re going to the Towers.

3. I’m here to cheer the place up a bit.

4. Hello, there. Don’t like to brag but I’m a bit cute.

5. When is it snooze time at the Towers?

6. This is a nice cruise ship we’re on…

7. Just trying to get the rest of my trunk across and then I can run off to the woods.

8. Do I know you?

9. I hope you two gold finches aren’t quarrelling!

10. This is a lovely place for little mouses to live.

11. We’re only playing at being bad…

12. Bad hair day?

13. You and me too…

14. Coming in to land… Seat belts on…

15. I hereby baptise you Farage the Frog. ARGHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOO…Anything but that!!!

16. I’m hiding. Someone said Mr Mountbatten Windsor was around here.

17. What do you mean Munguin doesn’t allow smoking. I’m sitting on the fence here and my beak is over the other side!

18. Now who is next on my “to annoy” list?

19. They’re changing guards at Munguin Towers.

20. No. Refreshments are not free. Really, do you think Munguin is made of money?

Once again thanks to Quokka.

STARMER TRIES TO BE INSPIRATIONAL, AND ENDS UP SOUNDING COMIC

Starmer has blasted our first minister, John Swinney, as Labour announced £2.5 billion plans to develop the UK’s first small modular nuclear reactor on Ynys Mônn in Wales. He has also reiterated that he wants GB Energy the company he promised would create thousands of jobs in Scotland, although it hasn’t)to find potential nuclear sites in Scotland.

Labour is to fund the Welsh reactor with a £2.5bn pot, which they claim will “support up to 3000 good jobs in the local community at peak construction”. (Yeah, right. We REALLY believe you.)

Of course, going by England’s record on these matters, no one alive today will live to see the project finished, and it will end up costing £25,000,000,000+, but who’s counting? After all it is likely that Starmer won’t make it to 2027 in the job.

Starmer said: “For years, the Tory government in Westminster and the SNP government in Scotland bottled it on nuclear. They talked big, delivered little, and left the country exposed. It’s our communities that have paid the price for that, watching as jobs vanish and ambition withers. (I don’t think the SNP ever talked big about nuclear.)

“John Swinney’s knackered SNP Government has failed (Um, you do know, don’t you that the Labour Party is at the moment looking at removing your sorry backside and you will be lucky to get 75 seats in the next election? So maybe less about John having failed, eh?)“They’ve banned nuclear in Scotland and the opportunities it brings.”(Because we don’t need it. And it has its dangers… as many people know. Would you like to live in the shadow of a nuclear power station, Sir Starmer, risking your health and that of your kids?)

“Instead, they consume themselves with yesterday’s arguments on independence.” (Given that the next English government, in no small manner, thanks to your incompetence and lying, is likely to be Farage led, Trump and Putin loving Fascist, I seriously don’t think that independence from Britain is yesterday’s argument.)

Sir Starmer went on with this nonsense.

“Britain is ‘entering’ a golden age of nuclear power. (Remind me, when will Hinky maybe come on line?) – to deliver good, well-paid jobs of the future and putting pride back in our towns. (Eh?) Two Labour governments are working together in Wales to deliver on that promise. And with Anas Sarwar, Scotland has the chance for a new direction.” (Dream on.)

“It’s time to reclaim our heritage, outpace the world, and prove that when it comes to nuclear, Britain doesn’t just remember its past – we’re ready to own the future.” (What century is he living in?)

Responding, SNP MSP Paul McLennan said: “Keir Starmer is fighting desperately to cling on to power, and Anas Sarwar is leading his party to third place. If they think the answer to their unpopularity is to force expensive, unnecessary nuclear power stations on Scotland they are in for a surprise.

“Expensive new nuclear power stations will push bills up even higher, take years to build and leave us dealing with dangerous waste for years to come.

“Scotland doesn’t want or need new nuclear – we have an abundance of clean energy resources.

“What we need is the fresh start of independence, so that we can harness these resources to bring energy bills down.”

Starmer’s Labour Party won power in the 2024 General Election after pledging to cut people’s energy bills by £300 per year. However since then, the Ofgem energy price cap – the amount an average dual-fuel household spends per year – has risen by £200 to £1755.

Planning is devolved to the Scottish Government, giving the SNP an effective veto on any nuclear development north of the Border.

Labour, and the Tories before them, have long aimed for a Unionist administration to take power at Holyrood in order to end the block.

THIS IS REFORM

Just like Trump £$£$£$£$£

A Reform UK councillor with the power to influence the fate of Lancashire’s care homes is simultaneously a director of a private care company that could profit from their closure. Now, explosive emails reveal that Councillor Graham Dalton has resorted to issuing legal threats in an attempt to silence an opposition councillor who dared to question this glaring conflict of interest.

The controversy centres on plans to shut down ten council-run residential homes and day centres. As the cabinet member for adult social care, Dalton holds a key role in this controversial review. Yet, he is also the co-owner of First for Care GB Limited, a private provider that offers services directly overlapping with those under threat.

When Labour’s Councillor Kim Snape suggested Dalton could financially benefit from the closures, the response was not transparency, but a threat of legal action, delivered through council staff. This move has been condemned as a direct assault on essential public debate and accountability.

Andrea is at it

Reform UK’s Andrea Jenkyns is claiming travel expenses for her job as Mayor of Lincolnshire, why? Because she lives in Yorkshire (despite saying she lives in Lincolnshire on her nomination forms).

**********

Inhuman

“…who have broken into our country…”

I wonder if it occurs to people like this revolting old man, who was thrown out of Reform earlier this year, that Brits broke into other people’s countries around the world, took them over, made the people learn English and stole , plundered and raped. In doing so, who knows how many millions of people were killed.

I’d like to live in a country where people can go about their business without the fear of being stabbed by anyone.

Alright?

***********

Hmmmm… I’m wondering if she knows any numbers at all…

I wonder if she’d have a fit if we suggested then, that a little closer to home we could use ROMAN numerals…

Our deepest apologies, your imperial orangeness

Hardly a day goes by without the BBC, at least in their Scottish branch office, misrepresenting the Scottish Government or the SNP or the Greens. Indeed, they have just apologised for using a Tory Press Release almost exactly word for word.

And then there was this:

But someone misrepresented his special senile Uncle Bone Spurs in America and my goodness, does Nigel look cross or what?
