Commendable really.
We should really pile up the posts ready for when he gets back from work to prevent boredom. Which can only be considered as philanthropic.
 
What did I miss with the mysogeny theme? Someone hasn't just made another Nicola Sturgeon (who for the avoidance of doubt is a national treasure) joke have they?

Why do you feel NS is a national treasure?
I don't live in Scotland so I'm probably unaware of the less publicised achievements of her government and only aware of the more publicised perceived shortcomings of the SNP.

FA used to live in Sturgeonland and saw first hand what the SNP were like running the place.
He moved almost as far away from Scotland as possible within GB a couple of years ago.

General rule of thumb, if you see any of us former BR lot lauding any public figure you can take it that we are tongue firmly in cheek!

You might also notice an aversion to emojis.

Actually, they are there, but only one pixel high, and hidden between the lines, so you might miss them.
 
Ah, ok, thanks. I'm just used to abuse on here really so gentle parodies pass me by.

Gotcha.

I see the SNP as populists. Indyref was more snake oil than Brexit and fundamentally and not that subtly anti English.

Her greatest achievements include cardboard boxes with baby formula and a blanket sent to lots of new parents for no good reason, reducing locals' access to universities in order to ensure they remain free so that anyone can go, a ferry with a hole in it 5 years late and the cost of the several ferries they could have had, Prestwick airport remaining open (which I can recommend if you enjoy peace and quiet), making Boris Johnson's COVID policies sound good by repeating them with sincerity and a Scottish accent, and a recycling scheme recycled from 1990s Canada that was against UK law. She also had a 0 for 3 record in spending as much money as possible having legally settled issues settled once and for all in the UK government's favour at maximum cost.

Oh, they also had great success in making Glasgow the drug overdose capital of Europe.

Don't forget they did seriously (I think) talk about cutting the bottoms off school classroom doors to improve ventilation during the pandemic. That was pretty special. But by then it was rather a case of the stable door.

First Aspect. You have left. Get over it man, just chill.

And if I could actually post an image in here, as in not micro style, I could show you some comparatives across the dUK on A&E waiting times, crime rates, water quality, teacher pupil ratios et al, the sort of things you'll never hear via the Tory controlled Beeb.

That would be quite a lot cut off.
