Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 07:47:12 PMSo in essence you don't like Farage because he is calling out the SNP for their poor performance and you think your only chance of an independent Scotland is through the SNP.

You may well be right in that but it doesn't alter my opinion that the entire UK is going to the dogs and none of the existing parties are even pretending to care any more or at least make no effort to fix the one problem that ensures the decline will continue - completely uncontrolled immigration.

I'll stick with my hope that Reform get their chance. They may well fail. None of the rest will even try.

I don't think Farage hates Scotland, he was right in my opinion to call out the SNP. The SNP's policies on women have done them no favours.  The Barnett formula probably needs adjusting too.    

I think a lot of Scots are becoming concerned about the size of the ethnic minority population, in Glasgow for instance, around 20% of the population are non UK born.  One in five!  They haven't had much reassurance that won't increase even more.  So they may turn to Reform.  But there will always be the die hard 'anyone but England' tribe.

And the new florist shop was booming
But Andy had left it too late
A bunch from the garage was his fate

There aren't that many male teachers in primary schools.
Men do run the risk of being accused of inappropriate behaviour .

But there is a difference 

In a school there are plenty of people around .
Teachers are not that intimate with students ( changing nappies etc ) 
Accidents are more likely dealt with by the school nurse .

Also primary school children can speak .
Babies and toddlers can't

I would not leave my baby in a nursery with a man .
Men who want to work with very young children are suspect
They may be ok but why would you put a defenceless infant at risk

I would tell them where to stuff their Union and so should the government .
Ban men in nurseries

I wonder how far this could be taken though.
Could Mother's then demand no men in infant schools too?

Quote from: muddy on Yesterday at 11:26:33 PMIt's funny we always  used to laugh at the pantamine dame but now she / he has become a bizarre reality it not funny anymore.
This ghastly parody  of womanhood  .

Yes,  these men dressed as women don't seem to have a clue about subtlety do they.   
It is the very gaudiness of them  that gives the game away in seconds.

Sad but seems inevitable

And would probably make a better PM!
