But when you total together the votes of the unionist parties that exceeds the nationalist votes. In reality, SNP has the advantage of a single separatist party. The gullible nationalists, however, still don’t seem to realise that after 19 years of SNP rule, Indy is no nearer.

‘Every Scottish child should leave school with a deep knowledge’ being able to read, write and count. Also, free of group think and indoctrination by the Scottish state.

Is this latest pledge going to be same as the undelivered promise from last time around: free laptops, bikes, etc? Or more likely, another SNP promise at election time that will never be delivered.

For me the most important aspect of this match was a greater desire to win the ball. It wasn’t the greatest of games & for most of it we were playing against 10 men. BUT we won and that gives much needed confidence to the team & supporters. Well done Stephen Robinson. COYR

Limo-man accusing someone of lying- hilarious and so SNP

I would have thought the people in the Inverness area would be more interested in when the A9 and A96 are being dualled. Of course, they’re not in the central belt or Glasgow… The first refusal pledge is just another SNP bribe that will not be met. Remember bikes and laptops…

The SNP promised a Scottish energy company to reduce costs. What happened to it? Oh yes, more undelivered pledges.

So was Swinney… Any chance of some balanced and grown up journalism?

I was really surprised none of the leaders took Swinney to task over the ‘freebies’ myth: - 95% in England get free prescriptions - free tuition fees are capped so not everyone qualifies - rail fares were raised before the cap and services were reduced

Let me guess, there’s an election looming? You must take us taxpayers as fools. Yet another bribe for the gullible. There’s no money to pay for teachers & support staff but there’s a magic money tree at election time for gimmicks. So The SNP

How’s about a ‘price cap plan’ on John Swinney and The SNP govt to halt squandering Scottish taxpayers hard earned money on performative policies they can’t or won’t deliver. Remember ‘free’ bikes and tablets for school kids? Remember the publicly owned Scottish energy company?

After 19 years in power, did you explain to these suckers how you intend to secure an Indy Scotland? Thought not - you have no credible argument. You might get more support if you presented a viable plan. It just seems SNP MPs & MSPs are very happy on the gravy train.

You might get a majority of seats but only due to the vote split between Unionist parties. The number of Unionist votes exceed the separatist ones - so no mandate for a referendum.

Until such time as the SNP produces a credible fiscal strategy & how it will be implemented, I cannot vote for independence. Why is it after nearly 20 yrs no such plan has been delivered? Is it because life as an SNP MSP & MP is too easy? Blame WM for all our ills - job done ✔️

Is that a similar scheme like when an SNP MP’s (Tommy Sheppard) comedy venue got a £250,000 Scottish govt bung during COVID when no other venue did to that extent? That said, I bet this is just another SNP bribe for the gullible before an election that will not be delivered.

Fantastic news - I hope he suffers like the bulls he torments for the enjoyment of sad inadequates who enjoy animal torture

You protected SNP Minister Michael Matheson trousering £11,000 for his iPad streaming and this is the best you can come up with?

I love it when the animal torturers are hurt…

Karma. If the sadist hadn’t plunged swords into the back a peaceful living animal then he wouldn’t be in hospital now. I really don’t care about him. Sadly, the bull will be killed anyway. It’s not a sport but a spectacle for blood lusting psychopaths.

Sturgeon is such a narcissist she doesn’t get the hypocrisy in her comments. It amazes me that some parts of the mainstream media still give her airtime.
