if that's the case then we should all pack our shit up and move on , a don't buy it she's powerless otherwise the torys statement she's just a council leader are true if thats the case it's pointless people voting for her , why waste a vote on lip serviceWhat can she do though Niall? Posted thisthe other day on another thread when discussing the issue with Kelly......
Trouble is Kelly the Scottish Government are dependent on institutions like the police and judiciary whose ranks (from top to bottom) are rife with the same BritNat/Loyalist ideology as these pricks. Aye the Scottish Government can create legislation to try and combat this shit but you need the police and the judiciary to enforce that legislation and they won't do that for 2 crucial reasons......
1. Like I said these 2 institutions are filled with people who see cracking down on these scumbags as 'going against their own' therefore they will do the bare minimum they can get away with.
2. Why would they assist a government that is run by a political party that is the very antithesis (seeks independence from the UK) to the ideology that permeates throughout every level of their institutions when it serves their purpose to undermine it instead.
Couple all that with a rabid media/press that are equally hostile to the Scottish Government for all the same reasons, who can blitz the airwaves and front pages with all sorts of bullshit and twisting of the narrative to manipulate public opinion, who will print partisan press releases from the Unionist parties like it's actual news then this particular Scottish government is virtually powerless when it comes to not only dealing with this shit but pretty much everything else that goes against this ideology.
The SNP might have been voted into power by the people of Scotland but it doesn't mean they actually have that much, not when all these institutions above can act in unison like a 5th Column of the British state and undermine them at every turn.
Now given this is what she's up against then she's virtually powerless to do anything in response.
yep if some twat won't do the job there asked you remove them and if the next cnt can't do it you remove him as well ,or stand back and watch your majority go down the stank just to appease bigotsLeaders have to lead! mon wee Nicola
The SNP wont rock the boat here. Nothing they have done so far in power has shown they have the stomach to confront the bigots. Any action from them will have to be forced. As much as I admire NS she seems to have a massive blind spot in combatting Scotland's shame. Hopefully she is emboldened if global action on prejudice continues to grow.Leaders have to lead! mon wee Nicola
Let's see what happens when the statue protectors come oot,think the Green Brigade played a blinder here,they knew fine well what would happen,and the cops reacted as predicted. ☘
Whit can she do then Kelly cause I'm fucked if I know how she can tackle it when pretty much every institution that she would need to make the necessary changes are controlled by people who to their core are politically and ideologically opposed and openly and viciously hostile to her, her party and her government.
When fundamental institutions like the Police, Judiciary, Media etc. is completely politically and ideologically opposed to a government then they have the power to not only undermine but wreck that government's ability to govern, now imagine how much worse that is when these institutions all act in unison and have the full weight of the UK establishment at their back.
As hard as it is to hear the Tories kinda have a point when they say she's a glorified council leader because the truth is when another government decides what powers you can and can't have then you don't have any real power at all but that's no her fault that's ours as an electorate for voting to keep that system in place.
So instead of packing up our shit and moving on we should be pulling together with like minded people and pushing harder for our Independence as a country. There's nae point in people continually moaning about this sort of shit while at the same time voting to keep the system that perpetuates it in place.
Every one of us know what's at the root of all of this, the Union is the foundations that all this crap is built on, it's what gives these people their power and keeps them there so we can either face up to that reality and deal with it or we can continue to sit and carp about it for eternity!
HH mate
if waiting on independence to try and change things then sorry but peoples faith will deminish month by month by inactions ,this is a problem the whole of scotland is sick to the back teeth of,saying she has is powerless and will stand back every summer while the scum take to the streets isn't the type of leader i would want to lead me to independenceWhit can she do then Kelly cause I'm fucked if I know how she can tackle it when pretty much every institution that she would need to make the necessary changes are controlled by people who to their core are politically and ideologically opposed and openly viciously hostile to her, her party and her government.
