Theatrics of Unionist duo on Question Time were cringeworthy

The National

Both Bowie and especially Sarwar are the perfect examples of everything that is wrong with Scotland when it comes to Scots attacking all things Scottish for their London puppet masters. To be fair to him, Andrew Bowie at least comes across like he has some manners and a warped kind of dignity, but Anas Sarwar came across as a totally spoilt wee brat who constantly tried to speak over the presenter and ignore all efforts to rein him in as he delivered his usual absolute drivel trying to rubbish the NHS staff and constantly mentioning the ferries, as he completely ignored the enormously damaging and farcical decisions from down south that are hundreds of times more costly.

It was an absolutely pathetic spectacle to have to watch, and the only thing more pathetic to witness was the tiny wee handful of audience members who actually clapped at the end of Sarwar's constant drivel. Perhaps I am reading this wrong and they were simply clapping in delight that someone had eventually managed to take out his batteries.
When, oh when, are we going to get an SNP politician who will demand to be heard, call out the downright lies, not sit down when told to until they get their point across, and to point out every much bigger failure they have made down south rather than sit meekly and accept it?
On a slightly different note...
Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte has told the world they will need to learn Russian if their countries do not spend tens of billions – money few of them have – on defence, which in reality is quite simply to help enrich the armament companies even more, which in turn boosts the US economy.
Watching this excuse for a man sook up to the orange clown at the Nato summit really prompts the question: is the Western world full of complete clowns when it comes to leading their countries and organisations across the world? If it is not, they are certainly doing a good job of pretending they are, with the likes of what we see across the pond and over here in Westminster and now at Nato.

Lastly, we really have to ask ourselves what on earth are the SNP doing, only managing to gain a tiny 20% or so of the vote from the polls of people's voting intentions from across Ayrshire and the South of Scotland, whilst the reviled Tories and Farage's new party have around 50% of the intended vote between them? OK, we all know there's a hotbed of sectarianism which blights this part of the land, which would rather place a vote that damages their own family's prospects, but it also points to many people wanting to escape the absolutely monstrous mess down south but who also seem too feart to dip their toe too far into Scotland so tend to mainly stay close to the Border, judging by these results!
We can all understand the move away, but for the life of me I can't understand why somehow with the cahoonas to make the move north in the first place, who can then witness the truly awful impact of the damage done to Scotland under Westminster rule with their own eyes, and then vote for more of the same! It's for the birds, it really is. There really is nowt as queer as folk.
Could you imagine what could be achieved without a shower o' wee timorous beasties representing us all?
