I don't believe so. Kirkaldy and Cowdenbeath. A local constituency (for him).

I have never argued that - you seem to be shifting your arguments continuously.

It provides a pleasant way of defusing (and prevarication) while stuck working on some documents that I need for work…
But if it does provide a means of education without insults then what is the harm?

But a lot more civilised I feel. No one is calling anyone else names, just disagreeing with a mix of both references and anecdote.

I suspect he either did not follow up his request for more information (provided) or chose to ignore it.

It has been interesting for me seeing the changing views of people who have come north to live and work in Scotland. A number of people I know shifted from being pro union to pro independence when they saw the reality ‘on the gound’. Not all.

Direct ill will - only a few, but ignorance and contempt - a lot, many of them in your party.

You might buy into the ‘Anti-English' schtick paraded in the media but we don’t - as is obvious in the Scottish parliament.

I think that was a late diversion to argue that we were arguing from a ‘blood native’ prejudice. As I pointed out, with Richard Leonard, Yorkshire born, Labour leader in Holyrood, it is nonsense. Other examples are available.

Anyway it is *not* about being locally born - as Holyrood has demonstrated. A former ’Scottish’ Labour leader, Richard Leonard was born in Yorkshire. I might disagree with his politics, even if he was to the left of the current HQ, but I never questioned his interest and knowledge of his constituency.

Wen (wen@mastodon.scot)'s status on Saturday, 25-May-2024 23:31:11 JST Wen @AnthonyFStevens @Theriac @CloudyMrs @soren No I have not. I have confirmed that I can understand how a Scottish based MSP can know his constituency and represent his constituents regardless of place of birth. For goodness sake, one of the Labour candidates was standing for an English constituency not very long ago!

You need to know something about the constituency and the country first.
