What's going on? Today's Westminster run news stations seem particularly focused on making sure Scots know how shite Scotland is. Leading with stories about Ferries, potholes and tax. All implying that things are much, much worse here than anywhere else in the UK. All backed up by endless Yoon howling about the EsssenPeee in the comments. I smell internal polling that isn't showing Scotland going the way the establishment wants it to go.

Mrs Cloudy (cloudymrs@mastodon.scot)'s status on Sunday, 07-Apr-2024 05:19:21 JST Mrs Cloudy @JackTheCat the massed London based left leaning podcasters are already utterly bewildered by Scotlands refusal to agree that Starmer is the messiah. They've gone through ridicule, during their reading of the police investigation, past confusion when they interviewed Stephen Flynn and the FM and liked what they had to say, and have settled on ignoring us entirely.
This wee swing back to fear mongering is telling, but is likely to have just as little effect as any of the other tactics tried. -

Mrs Cloudy (cloudymrs@mastodon.scot)'s status on Sunday, 07-Apr-2024 05:33:01 JST Mrs Cloudy @JackTheCat They won't ever understand Scotland unless they finally accept that we are not just a small outpost of England. Our political landscape is different. They can't ever just wedge us into their UK based assumptions. I can be utterly scunnered with SNP shenanigans, but I'm not ever going to vote Labour, and I'm always going to vote for independence if the opportunity arises.

Mrs Cloudy (cloudymrs@mastodon.scot)'s status on Sunday, 07-Apr-2024 18:17:16 JST Mrs Cloudy @Indyposterboy @EricBranse You can only hope they're howling I to their own wee echo chamber. I don't know anyone who would go near those two content producers. Whatever it is, they aren't ever going to play fair. Not their style.
