F for Fake:

Sturgeon and the SNP deceive Scots.

They have overseen a litany of failures, scandals, hypocrisy and alleged corruption yet nothing happens.

Ask SNP why?

A Thread. Image
Nicola Sturgeon promised when she became FM to be judged on Education. So let’s take a look at that first. Image
But don’t worry, Scottish kids are doing brilliantly in our National tests/exams, our Scottish exams, you know, in Scotland.

But internationally you can’t pull the wool over our record slide since SNP took over. SNP didn’t tell the truth.

Ask SNP why?

fullfact.org/scotland/johns…
There has been concern over the number of Scottish kids removed from the PISA tests.

Ours doubled from 4.1 to 9.3% whereas the other PISA countries only average 1.7% of pupils who do not sit the tests.

Ask the SNP why?

tes.com/magazine/news/…
Then we have seen a shambles in our devolved NHS… and this was all long before Covid. Image
Pre Covid we had a scandal over the new super hospital in Glasgow, Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

Two children has been infected and died. Safety & the environment was not up to scratch.

Did heads roll? Jeane Freeman retired.

Ask SNP why?

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
Sturgeon, ever the opportunist, used Covid to strengthen her personal brand.

However, did this narcissistic approach to leadership mean bad news must be hushed?

Edinburgh was probably first British Covid hotspot.

Yet we didn’t get told.

Ask SNP why?

scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…
Sturgeon didn’t have the great pandemic the Nat media would have you believe.

She also took Boris Johnson as her lead, but going earlier or later to score petty points.

Covid infected care home patients were returned from hospital.

Ask SNP why.

dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
SNP don’t like being warned about the consequences of their actions.

Here’s a classic from the Nats.

Why do they not listen?

Ask SNP why.
heraldscotland.com/politics/19717…
Of course the SNP were warned as we said.

But they do not listen.

They know best.

Who could have foreseen this? Just about everyone.

Ask SNP why.
heraldscotland.com/politics/19967…
Another SNP classic was the infamous Police Scotland VAT bill. They were warned well in advance that creating a National Force would lead to this.

Nats put their fingers in their ears as usual as blamed Westminster.

Ask SNP why.
accountancydaily.co/hmrc-warned-po
Eventually the nasty Tories relented under Theresa May.

Treasury changed the law.

Did the SNP thank The Government? 😂😂😂. Not a chance.

Humility? Not in their lexicon.

Why did the Nats pursue this?

Ask SNP why.

Sturgeon’s judgment of character is appalling.

When vile cybernat “comedian” Janey Godley’s twitter hate finally caught up with her Nicola had signed off the £12k she was paid for an NHS advert.

Ask SNP why.

heraldscotland.com/politics/19789…
Sturgeon’s own career nearly ended when she made a pig’s ear of things with a fraudster.

She’s a solid judge of character…

So why is she still in politics?

Ask SNP why.

theguardian.com/politics/2010/…
Sturgeon’s own legal career ended abruptly under a cloud.

Where’s the transparency?

Why don’t we know? Is Nicola fit to lead?

Ask SNP why.

express.co.uk/news/uk/141893…
During the Salmond affair, the inquiry found Nicola Sturgeon misled Holyrood.

So why hasn’t she resigned?

Ask SNP why.

politico.eu/article/nicola…
This “it wisnae me” or “lessons will be learned” or other such excuses are ill afforded to Sturgeon’s opponents. Image
Wendy Alexander, former Scottish Labour leader had to resign over a row over donations.

Sturgeon was a vociferous cheerleader to see a strong woman out of politics.

Ask SNP why.
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/…
Sturgeon also betrays confidences.

She’d run out of a Cobra meeting to the nearest mic to be first with an announcement. Yes, she’s that insecure.

She also embarrassed Kezia Dugdale live on TV.

Why does she go so low?

Ask SNP why.

dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
Nicola Sturgeon is viewed as moral, ethical by some.

They don’t know the narcissistic politician from Dreghorn.

Why did she pose for photos at, of all places, Auschwitz?

Ask SNP why. Image
Sturgeon loves being a hypocrite and when called out or caught she uses the old “playing politics” line, yet that never applies to her.

She was caught out & embarrassed during Covid by Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham.

Did she apologise?

Ask SNP why.

manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…
Dubious morals extend even to Finance Secretaries.

Derek MacKay, once the Golden Boy, was texting a 16 year old. And it wasn’t to exchange FIFA 21 tips…

Apparently his inappropriate conduct was well known, but swept under the carpet.

Ask SNP why.

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
Former SNP leader Alex Salmond is a bit of a joke figure.

He was never the big beast the media would have us believe yet he was extremely successful just not in airport lounges…

Ask SNP why.
thetimes.co.uk/article/harass…
Former SNP MP, Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh has been in several parties yet her judgement is surely in question.

Yet SNP vetted her for election.

Ask SNP why.

thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/perth-…
Rising star Humza Yousaf is accident prone but also incompetent.

Imagine a Tory transport minister caught driving without insurance. Would he be sacked?

Why wasn’t Humza?

Ask SNP why.
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
Morals count in politics, don’t they?

One odd entry in the SNP story is Michelle Thomson’s private details appearing on a sex website.

Michelle’s identity was harvested by others.

She lost the whip yet was exonerated in a fraud case.

Ask SNP why.

theguardian.com/technology/201…
Another controversial case is Natalie McGarry.

As it is currently on going, will leave it there.

But read up on the case.

Ask SNP why.

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
For older viewers, John Major’s Tory Government struggled on from scandal to scandal & after 7 years they fell.

SNP defy gravity. They have individual scandals a plenty.

Take Margaret Ferrier. Read her Covid story. Above the law?

Ask SNP why.

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
Our Chief Mammy is a voracious reader. Or so she says.

So why then does her administration hate the rest of us reading? Why close so many essential libraries?

Ask SNP why.
scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/scottish-…
SNP boast they are stronger for Scotland.

Unless you are a Local Authority it seems.

The evil WM cut our budget by 2.8%.

Our heroic Nats cut council budgets by 7.5%. WTF?

Ask SNP why.
dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…
Glasgow isn’t really that famous for its rats. Never seen one in all my years living in the city.

But our SNP chums are changing all that. Nearly 7,000 sightings during the year of #Cop21

SNP ignoring the day job?

Ask SNP why.

glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/19816875.…
The SNP do not like criticism as we’ve seen. But they do not like how journalists hold OTHER parties to account!

Incroyable Christian Allard may scream.

Imagine Boris telling BBC or Sky how to interview Keir Starmer. Nuts? But in Scotland?

Ask SNP why.

express.co.uk/news/politics/…
SNP duplicity & corruption isn’t just at Holyrood. Come on lads & lassies!

Nepotism is rife. And Glasgow’s Council Leader let her hubby rent council property for… £1.

Is this allowed?

Ask SNP why?
glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/18050874.…
The SNP, in an attempt to look like they know what they are doing, jump into bed with seemingly anyone.

Even Chinese conmen.

They escaped censure over a fake £10 billion deal. Labour or Tories would have been rightly torn to shreds.

Ask SNP why.
heraldscotland.com/news/15190603.…
Dodgy deals are the SNP’s forte.

Something wasn’t right with a £586 million deal to buy Lochaber smelter.

Why no transparency?

Ask SNP why?

scotsman.com/news/politics/…
The Government gave Scotland billions re: Covid.

Inexplicably £5 billion, that’s BILLION cannot be traced or accounted for by the SNP.

Audit Scotland cannot believe it.

How can money be issued with no paper trail? Corrupt or incompetent?

Ask SNP why.
heraldscotland.com/politics/19998…
SNP aren’t just shit with our tax payers money, their own donations from fans, I mean voters go missing!

How can £600,000 ring fenced for #indyref2 simply vanish?

Ask SNP why.
scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/scottish-…
Contrary to what we think Scotland CAN build ships. Complex warships in fact. Rosyth built not one but TWO colossal, state of the art Aircfaft Carriers for the Royal Navy.

Bravo!

Except the SNP ignored this feat of engineering.

Ask SNP why.
express.co.uk/news/uk/822958…
The latest scandal to hit Sturgeon & SNP is the Ferguson Ferry Fiasco.

There is so much going on, perhaps more to it, we can sum it up with this:

Audit Scotland have said there were “serious misgivings” about the contact yet it went ahead.

Ask SNP why?
scotsman.com/news/transport…
More calamity and embarrassment on ferries.

Not content with the Ferguson Fiasco, two new Calmac ferries are now being built on the Clyde…

No strike that… in Turkey.

Yes, Turkey. Not even in the EU.

Ask SNP why?
scotsman.com/news/transport…
Here is a handy timeline of the Ferguson Ferry Fiasco…
scotsman.com/news/transport…
2013 SNP saved failing Prestwick. Can’t let an airport close on our watch!

What’s the market economy? Alien to the Nats. It was never about socialism but PR. Scotland (the SNP) cannot lose an airport.

It’s been a shambles costing millions.

Ask SNP why.
scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/scottish-…
Another common SNP move is to keep what goes on quiet.

This from the Ferguson Ferry Fiasco.

Surely the truth should out?

Why not a public inquiry (Nats voted it down).

Ask SNP why?
Scandal follows Sturgeon wherever she goes. A publisher is being investigated over an award of our money.

Who are investigating? The fraud squad. Appropriate name in this case I think.

Covid money is not all accounted for.

Ask SNP why? Image
SNP like to control everything. They are unquestionably authoritarian. They do not allow dissent in their own party nor question Der Leader.

Even odder is they instruct the media in how to interview opponents! FFS.

Ask SNP why.

express.co.uk/news/politics/…
The SNP claim to be transparent and open. Yet many reports are redacted.

More Orwellian is their deliberate refusal to record minutes.

This is not normal. What have they got to hide?

Do we live in the old East Germany?

Ask SNP why.

thetimes.co.uk/article/concer…
Neddish Nat behaviour isn’t restricted to the zoomers like AUOB or the loony Scottish Resistance.

Indeed burning books is so 1930s & these elected muppets did exactly that.

Ask SNP why.
dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
When Scottish schools were still rife with Covid, what could we do to reduce the spread?

Smaller classes? Social distancing? Online learning again?

Nope. Saw off the bottom of classroom doors.

Yes you read that right.

It was considered.

Ask SNP why.
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
While we are on Education, why have we seen blatant indoctrination of our school pupils across the curriculum? And much if not all is sheer lies and propaganda.

Would this stand if introduced by Boris and the Tories in England?

In Scotland it’s allowed.

Ask SNP why. Image
So I know this thread is a bit all over the place (but like the SNP) I don’t have the time to work on an actual PC to organise things as properly as I could.

I’ve missed out many other scandals etc because the list is endless.

My starting point was @GeorgeFoulkes recent tweet
And there are many, many others who shine a light on the absurdity of Nats.

I’ve not included boycotts, marches, flag waving to any great degree.

There is a great book to be written about how Scotland has been enveloped in the darkness of Nationalism.
Nationalism isn’t normal. It’s toxic, divisive, intolerant and deeply troubling.

We in Scotland need to wake up to the nonsense the SNP spout and judge them on their record in the here and now.

Scratch the surface and you see they are indeed Fakes.

Vote them out. Image

The SNP’s relationship with Europe.

A thread.
Let’s travel back to 1975.

When the EEC (as it was then) in/out referendum was held, the SNP wanted Scotland (and Britain) out of the EEC.

Interesting quote from Alex Salmond below.
After being dealt a bloody nose by being blamed for bringing down Callaghan’s Labour Government and ushering in Maggie Thatcher, the SNP struggled in the wilderness during the 1980s.

In 1988 they eventually came up with a new idea:

“Independence in Europe”

The Strange Case of Nicola Ferguson Sturgeon:

A Thread
Nicola was born in Irvine, July 1970 and attended Dreghorn Primary & Greenwood Academy.

Note: That’s Ayrshire, not Glasgow 👍
Nicola said she detested Thatcher growing up yet in one of the many incongruous elements in her life, her parents took advantage of that most Thatcherite of working class policies: buy your own council house

A thread:

Many Scots are in denial over Barnett, GERs figures, HS2, we export more to the UK, Crossrail, Currency, future of mortgages and pensions, Churchill sending tanks to George Square, the 51st being abandoned and many many more myths, lies and conspiracy theories.

Why?
To create the narrative that England cheats or steals from us.

This is furthered by unpalatable rhetoric by SNP elected politicians who spout knowing lies about our relationship and situation.

They even can’t accept the fact the UK is a country, a unitary state: our country.
Why is independence supporting parties doing well in our elections in Scotland then if it’s all lies?

Well this is where I suggest Flat Earthers, Moon Landing Conspiracy nuts and my favourite the JFK assassination conspiracy theories are useful.

It seems to me people are deliberately ignoring the differences between elections and referendums.

Referendums are single issue votes that have seismic impacts. Massive change is enacted if change wins.

That is why they cannot be every few years.

Uncertainty kills economy.
Refusing to accept the results of referendums is undemocratic.

The position of the SNP/Yes re: Brexit is disingenuous.

A Yes vote in 2014 would have seen Scotland out of the EU.

SNP didn’t campaign for Remain EU. They spent more on a by-election than the Remain vote.
The SNP wrote in their white paper it was a once in a generation vote.

Hold them to that.

Or what does their word mean?

Respect The Edinburgh Agreement.

The worst thing for Scotland is to have another referendum before a fair period of time has elapsed. Why?
