Kind of ironic and shows how sad politics has become! .. So now we want people who have phrases like “Smirnoff Ice is the drink of the Gods” to be representing us and shows how bloody stupid and immature this person is! ……
I’m also slightly concerned that they have chosen to describe her as “a lesbian and bible reader”, I was pretty sure people should have been voting for her based on policies not sexuality but that seems to be the most important in describing her! And maybe the bible is the wrong book for her to be reading as it doesn’t condone lesbianism, football or praying to false gods who drink Smirnoff Ice!
She is disgusting. She brings shame on Parliament with her low conduct.
Lesbians and Homosexuals are anti-life aren’t they? So in their right mind would vote for these disgusting creature?!
good for her. I neither share her politics or beliefs but she stood up to be counted and was, and won. well done. she is young; you all were once. she brings a freshness to parliament and a credibility that parliament has so often lacked. you may not agree with her politics, but at least acknowledge her achievement and the fact that she is entering a world that most 21 year olds would so fear. good luck to the lass. I wish her well.
The SNP seems to comprise of lowland Scots most of whom seem to be of Irish immigrant stock.(like Sean Connery)
Highlanders despise Lowlanders so I suspect it won’t be long before they are at each other throats. And Cameron, being of Scottish stock, will intuitively know how to divide and rule them.
And Steve Mc is right about this immature idiot, Black…she shames Parliament and the very many cultivated and educated Scots who abhor the boorishness she represents.
Hey, what do you know……get real…….don’t do what I do; do what I tell you
Everywhere one looks; they are making laws that contradict Christian teaching and common sense
Get over it……..whatever………apparently
