Is this the end of the beginning of the end for the Herald?

Clickbait award for the week!

In the Herald today, as they fight man and woman and other, to keep their leaky boat afloat, Neil ‘Really’ Mackay writes:

‘YOU’VE got to hand it to the SNP. It defies political gravity. Today, the party is like a unicyclist crossing a chasm between two mountains on a high-wire while juggling with both hands and balancing a beach ball on its nose. It should be plummeting to earth, screaming as it falls, but no, it just keeps going, defying the odds. The party is riven, splitting into factions. Its track record on key domestic issues like education is woeful, and there’s been such manoeuvring against Nicola Sturgeon that she’s had to confirm she wants to stay on as leader.’

You’ve got to hand it [a p45] to the Herald. It defies cognitive gravity. Today, it’s like a unicyclist crossing a chasm between two mountains on a high-wire while juggling with both hands and balancing a beach ball on its nose. It should be plummeting to earth, screaming as it falls, but no, it just keeps going, defying the odds. The paper is riven, splitting into factions. Its track record in writing on key domestic issues like education is woeful, and there’s been such manoeuvring against the Scottish people that it’s had to confirm it wants to stay on in Scotland.’

Readers of this throbbing organ will, of course, know that the SNP’s track record on education is positive, contrary to the myths being bounced back and forward between Unionist media and politicians. See:

As for the party being riven by factions:

When you haven’t paid your mortgage off and the editor is on your back, I suppose you just have to do what you’re told.

  1. Idiotic britnats really believe independence is just about the SNP. Bless. Independence is more important than any one party or one individual. The cause of independence is paramount; the cause is everything.

    PS. Can’t wait for scummy papers like the Herald to F*** Off and die.

  2. A Plant:-

    A.- a person put into place in order to mislead or function secretly.
    B.- any of photosynthetic, multicellular organisms…..lacking the power of locomotion or conscious thought.

    Any of the Herrods collection of “false flag” agitprop hucksters—we want indy–aye right!

    Is Scottish “journalism” now a function of MI5?
    How could we tell the difference?

  3. Wonder how the Herrod will play the Westminster child abuse scandal.
    David Steele now to quit due to his inaction over Cyril Smith confessing to abusing children.
    Wee Wullie—“Nothing to do with me, Gov”?

    Or the Tories handling of allegations of child abuse against Peter Morrison, Tory MP for Chester.
    The Tory party supressed these “rumours”………………
    Senior officials knew about allegations against Morrison for YEARS but did not pass them onto the police.
    Morrison like Smith was knighted.
    And on and on the disgusting report goes.

    Westminster has covered up child abuse, rape, harassment, bullying in the Parliament for years, but you would never learn this from stories in the “Scottish” press, radio and TV.

    The corruption did not stop at the M25.
