Three men, perhaps deluded by a bit of power, to varying degrees offensive, but somewhat in the shadows of Prince Andrew and Harvey Weinstein and in no way connected to Cyril Smith, have been presented by our media as triggers for civil war within the SNP. The Horrid has often been in the vanguard if jackals and hyena packs have vanguards:



Few of us have, of course, believed these wish-fulfilment headlines and polls tell us that they have no basis in reality. The SNP and the wider movement will not be derailed by the sins of a few individuals. The last six polls, through the Mackay scandal and during the Salmond sex case, show little sign of any effect:

If a media feeding frenzy on the former First Minister and sex has no effect, what could?

I certainly hope those column headings are incorrect – or the SNP are in trouble!!

Civil wars aint what they used to be.
Dorothy MacMillan and her lover Boothby. Ennobled by cuckold Harald MacMillan.
John Major and his “bastards”.
How about May and the ERG. And her “decapitation”. Her successor exiled long serving member out of the Tories, because they told the truth about the unfitness of Johnson to be PM. Or his buddy/enemy—the slithering Gove.
Wilson and “Stumblebum” Brown.
Brown and Blair.
Corbyn and most of his MPs.
The Lib Dumbs are the most polite of enemies, but also the most vicious—see Jeremy Thorpe, the whispering about Kennedy, the expulsion of Steel (while Cyril Smith and Chris Rennard sailed blithely onwards……….).
The SNP have a long, long way to go before a REAL civil war erupts.
Most of these “journalists” will be sweeping roads before then.
