when Labour doesn’t vote with the SNP, you call them inspired by tribal hatred...

...No I did not say that.  Stop making stuff up

Try reading what I post...

I cannot think of a single positive policy put forward by labour in Scotland.  Partly because the SNP stole their social democratic clothes and partly from the tribal hatred labour have for the SNP leading them to automatically oppose anything the SNP propose

nice bit of editing.

Its obvious you do not want a debate just a bit of point scoring.  You omitted all the other pejorative stuff you made up

You do have a tendency to deny saying what any reasonable person can see that you have said TJ, and then accuse other people of 'making stuff up'.

You strongly denied that you had said Labour is motivated by tribal hatred of the SNP but you then are completely dismissive of evidence that you did.

Stop accusing people of making stuff up when it is obvious that they haven't - it's just daft.

And this is a bit rich:

Its obvious you do not want a debate just a bit of point scoring.

When said a few hours after posting this:

I don’t think you understand how Holyrood or councils in Scotland work. Never mind.

You decide to shut down the debate because you patronisingly claim that I don't understand the issue.

Although the real reason is undoubtedly that you couldn't explain why the SNP opposition on Sterling council was demanding a proposal which SNP controlled councils don't seem to apply. Rejecting the proposal was 'disgusting' according to you but there doesn't seem to be a problem if SNP councils don't implement it.

The town is Stirling

Holyrood is a proportional system and works very differently to Westminster

SNP councils do not have a national manifesto and what you put up was a false equivalence

By editing out the other things I was objecting to polite camera action totally changed the sense of the statement

You castigated Labour minority controlled Stirling council for not accepting an SNP proposal to provide free soup and rolls to school children, calling it disgusting, and yet you apparently don't have a problem with SNP controlled councils not providing free soup and rolls.

I'm not sure I would call that a false equivalence, double standards would be a more appropriate description, IMHO.

The quotes in that article are amazing in their shamelessness. They're basically

We did this thing that makes everything worse for everyone because we though it would help us. Turns out it didn't so now it's a stupid idea.

"presented unionism with another reminder of its shrivelling demographic and political position."

It was always going to happen but it's still remarkable imo.

In other news, no voter ID only affected a small number who turned our to vote.

Not sure if they counted all those who didn't bother trying to vote as they knew they didn't have valid ID......
