Nicola ... again. Shut up woman! Are you for real?

Personally Nicola, I wouldn't have worn a red outfit when making that announcement, or maybe it was intentional?

I don't think they are anti Scottish vibes. Just people saying what they think.

I’m not anti Scottish. Marydoll now it’s your turn interpreting MY posts‼️
(Anti-SNP ... now there’s a thought though).

I agree with you about Liz Truss Marydoll.
Fortunately we have Ben Wallace ...

So what would a heavy weight be like? Someone who slammed their first on the table and told those pesky Ruskies to get back in their box else the full force of the British armed forces would be unleashed upon them? Or perhaps got together for a cosy chat over a COT? Which. country in NATO has someone more competent? America?!!

I have no confidence her, it is embarrassing to watch her.
Unfortunately, there is no-one to take her place. There is a distinct lack of statespersons (in the true definition of the word) in this incompetent government.

Jaberwork, I am speaking about her ability as a politician and diplomat. At no point did I advocate that she slams her fist on the table etc. Please do not tell me what I think about the situation in Ukraine and stop making assumptions about my views.

This exactly what I posted about earlier. Posters rush in, before actually thinking, before they post.
Still the inaccuracies continue to be posted, despite posters being told that the OP is not accurate.
Does no-one actually read, before posting?

As for Shortbread Senate, it may not exactly be xenophobic, but it is offensive.
I have a friend who is an MSP, not SNP by the way, it is insulting and disrespectful to use that term. There are a lot of talented members of the Scottish Parliament, who are trying their utmost to do their best for the Scottish people.

What saddens me are obvious anti Scottish vibes on here, stirred up yet again by the the same poster.

Good thinking Nicola , we’ll have ‘No Flying Zone Over Ukraine’ then when Russians attack Faselane you’ll get independence but unfortunately there will be nothing to be independent for . What a plonker .

? A Scottish Plonker she certainly is.

Thank you fairfraise ? SOH is often missing if it involves the SNP I’ve noticed!

NS runs an administration with a population not a whole lot less to Greater Manchester. The woman has delusions of grandeur.....

So she wants to get rid of our nuclear weapons and then provoke Russia?? ?

Reading this, I hardly think "Shortbread Senate is bordering on xenophobia" as mentioned above. Where is the sense of humour. Welsh and Irish people have always had fun poked at them.

Ug. Please read other posts occasionally. Eg Marydoll,s

Read what NS actually said

Slightly different slant to the OP

Thank you Lucca!
It really annoys me, when posters read threads like this, without doing any research of their own, rush in and accept the OP, as the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
Because it has been posted on Gransnet, doesn't mean it is totally accurate!

As for Liz Truss, that woman terrifies me! What a lightweight!

Thank goodness we have Liz Truss.

Plenty of Ukrainians want a no fly zone - let’s all tell them to shut up.

If a man said this( and many do) would you say - “shut up man?”?

Slightly different slant to the OP

Ms Sturgeon's comment was actually quite frightening. I'm glad she is not in charge of defence. What surprised me is she is not a stupid woman, but I really question her wisdom here. If we have a no- fly zone over Ukraine, which Russia then ignores. We are all in this war. The only way to protect a no- fly zone is with military intervention. Putin has been testing UK reaction times for years, why do you think Russian fighter jets have been flying over here every so often? Sadly, our First Minister seems not to have noticed.

Is Putin across the Atlantic?
Yes
Has Russia moved then Yammy?
No

Blossoming

I am shocked that a woman is telling another woman to “Shut up, woman”, on the day after International Women’s Day. Long live the patriarchy.

Saying measures should be considered is not the same as advocating their immediate adoption.

Indeed it's not, is it Blossoming. It is quite likely that more countries will use these measures as a "red line" against the threat of the use of chemical weapons. This would be the next step in Putin's "play book" if he follows his normal pattern.

But of course, rather than find out the facts, it's much better to tear into another woman. Sadly, I don't think that is likely to stop at any time soon.

Which sea do you think the Baltic runs into the Pacific?
Is this a trick question?
Are you talking about the direct route (as the crow flies) or the long way round, or the scenic route as the satnav says?

Oh good grief, such obvious tactics ?

"Shortbread Senate" is verging on xenophobia.

Still good at the "Copy and Paste" I see Urmstongran

Is Putin across the Atlantic? Has Russia moved then Yammy?

Turkey has already blocked the Dardanelles to Russian war ships so they can't exist into the Med.
Nicola Sturgeon can say she might put in place a No fly zone over Ukraine because she will never have the power to have to do it.

Ukraine gave up their nucleur weapons and look what’s happened.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good Gransnet OP story! ?

Oopsadaisy1

Well thank goodness she isn’t our Prime Minister then, bad though Boris is.
Does she still want to get rid of the Nuclear bases I wonder?

On Question Time last week a member of the Scottish parliament said if they get independence they will get rid of all nuclear weapons and set an example to other countries. Another member of the panel was a Russian man who has lived here for many years and he was incredulous that she didn’t seem to grasp the concept of a nuclear deterrent.

Well said Coastpath and Marydoll.
As always … provocative, inaccurate comments from UG
As for “shut up woman” ……unbelievable.

What has covid got to do with it ??
