Interviewed on Radio SNP this morning, gorgeous, pouting John Swine, Education Secretary in Scotland, best part of England, said:
"I am still very clever indeed. Yes, I did tell the Scottish Qualifications Authority to adjust teacher estimates of their pupils' performance in a pretend exam in order to maintain standards, and keep disadvantaged schools firmly disadvantaged. And I was right to do so.
I'm very sincere. However, Nicola has graciously given me some of her valuable time, in between talking to our smart, successful nation, to kindly give me a good talking-to, baring her little teeth in my direction, and explained that lots of very clever, promising young people, Scotland's future, in fact, and all wielding the vote, were very upset by being moderated from an A grade to a Z grade, and had kicked up a big fuss, writing letters on their phones, battling against the disadvantage of not being able to write, and gorgeously pouting to the camera, whilst flicking back their long blonde hair, telling our healthy, happy nation how upset they are, having been given a Z grade after not being in school for months, not being able to see their friends and not having undertaken any revision or sat an exam. So Nicola asked me to have a big think. And consider my options. She's a very enabling leader like that, invites one to have a big think and make the right choice. The right choice for Scotland and its Forever Party of Eternal Bliss, or the SNP as we call it for short.
I have reflected and taken advice and considered my options. And I realise that Scotland's young people have had an unprecedented time over the last few months, not going to social, sorry, school, and not seeing their chums and getting upset, so, I have entirely reversed my previous thinking about standards, I have immediately told the Scottish Qualifications Authority to examine its options and to reinstate teacher estimates of pupil brilliance.
And I am very sorry for getting it so wrong. Although I didna'"
A student speaks, flicking her long blonde hair: I'm over the moon... and so are all my pals. I was upset, since my teacher had told me I was a very clever girl and I should have an A. So I wrote a letter, and see what happened."
mr ishmael, as ever, had a relevant thought about the progressive lowering of standards - sorry, raising of educational standards:
Dirty old men at - and who read - the daily press delight in front-page 'photos of jailbait sixth-form girls bursting out of their blouses as they open their annually ever more superlative A-level results.
They're back to school today, Scotland's smart, successful young people. Thank god fasting - that'll keep them off the streets, at least for the couple of hours of the school timetable.

Nicola is also having to put some stick about as she has been very, very disappointed by the behaviour of Scotland's smart, successful footballers. No, she's really, really disappointed by
“privileged footballers” who “seem incapable of living up to their responsibilities” She said that eight Aberdeen players who visited a bar in the city “blatantly broke the rules” agreed by the Scottish FA, SPFL and government." Two footballers at the club have tested positive for Covid-19, and a further six players are going into 14 days of self-isolation after coming into close contact with the others. Nicola said: "We are expecting members of the public to behave in a highly precautionary manner right now. When a football club ends up with players infected...... let’s remember this is not through bad luck but clear breaches of the rules"

And then a chap called Boli Bolingoli ( a good Scottish name,
hen), who plays for Celtic, has admitted travelling privately to Spain
last week, failed to quarantine upon his return and then played against
Kilmarnock on Sunday. Raging, Nicola said:
"At
a minimum, you should not be expecting to see Aberdeen or Celtic play
over the course of the coming week and we'll set out conclusions beyond
that.
"Consider today the yellow card; the next time, it will be the red card."
The First Minister has asked the Scottish Professional Football League to have a big think, consider its options and make a good choice. In response, the SPFL said it would introduce punitive measures for rule breaking players and launch an education programme. Good to hear some people are going to be getting an education.

Smart, successful, wet Scotland.

She typifies what has become reflexive oppression and narrowness of vision on the liberal left, Sturgeon. A horrible piece of work she is, and in the end an incompetent one too. I hope Scotland throws off her yoke, but it won't.
Horrible gobby little rodent, surfing her way to independence on a raft of the covid dead. An utterly shameless careerist. Hopefully MacMugabe Salmond will arise from the grave and sink his poisoned fangs into her jaundiced buttocks.
Gosh, that's visceral! So you really don't like her, then?
Nobody likes Nicola, mrs i, because she is a bigot. She's a rabble-rousing racist is what she is. It is so very typical of what used to be in Ireland too. Anti-English to their little green whiskers. Too narrow to see that the great dynamo to the o'east (or the mcsouth) is what puts bread in their mouths and shoes on their feet.
Ireland is about to learn a terrible lesson because Leo Varadkar was only a pretend politician - a gay, immigrant-almost poster boy for the new o'woke lot infesting the cities of the south. A very silly, immature approach pretty much guaranteed to beggar his entire nation. The Brits won't do it, of course, because they have cooler heads and won the Ireland game a hundred years ago - by appearing to lose it, as it happens. Sturgeon's boat sailed at the referendum. It is a new world now and Bojo is about to burn the boats on the shore of it. And she knows it, and that's why she is so desperate and so cross.
The human rubbish at Westminster is matched at Toytown level. Hizzoner Khan in London, cringing behind his face nappy in a chauffer driven Range Rover as the no show no dough crowd chanced it on public transport. Some worthless alderman in Cardiff, a bovine Fuck the Pope drone in Belfast and Gnasher, pissed out of her micro brain on the authority the crisis has given her. Independence ? How`s the Norwegian coming along Mrs Ishmael ?
Something about the wee Krankie make me shudder.
If anyone could explain this "we must preserve the Union" bollocks, I would be pleased to hear.
Sorry to be off topic Mrs Ishmael but its an interesting read

And krankie makes me shudder too
Thanks for the link, mr anonymous. That blood tox report makes interesting reading, but the article doesn't convince me because, like millions, I saw video of a brutal arrest, using unnecessary violence by armed and dangerous American cops. So Floyd was not the innocent, law abiding pillar of his community that has been painted, but arbitrary killings by law officers who have been getting away with it until the invention of the mobile phone/camera, should not be tolerated in a civilised society - even the States.
Scotland is absolutely the beneficiary within the Union, mr mike, but the rabble that Gnasher rouses doesn't realise it. Brought up on racism, hatred, insularity and lies about the superiority of everything Scottish, (Scottish education, bollocks!)it is impossible for the average Central Belter to understand that Scotland is simply not viable as an independent nation; that the standard of living, health, housing and welfare currently enjoyed in Scotland are paid for by England through the now-unjustifiable Barnett formula and that oil is no longer a fabulous national asset.
I was astonished by the level of anti-English sentiment when I moved here, which is not really Scotland at all. God knows what it is like to have an English accent in Glasgow.
As you probably all know, I don't do football, and nor did mr ishmael (the only ball game he enjoyed watching was The Snooker). But the moment that crystallised all that anti English sentiment was when a bloke told me he was watching some football match in which England was playing a foreign nation, in order to cheer for the foreign nation - so I asked him, naively, if he had relatives or friends of that foreign nationality. No, he said, I'd support any team against England. And he's saying this to me, with my perfect English accent. That's the Union summed up in a nutshell. And believe me, it is not friendly banter.
Margaret Thatcher was a problem here in Scotland, using it as a test bed for unpopular policies to see what could be launched in England. Margaret Thatcher ended Conservatism in Scotland. I hope Boris can claw back some support because he is the thin blue line and he must continue to resist a further Independence referendum - Gnasher has gained in popularity for her visible leadership through the coronavirus measures - always a neat trick: identify the enemy, frighten the people and position yourself as the only salvation.
Here's a little hope, though - I was chatting to an Ayrshire man the other day about scottish independence. If Scotland leaves the Union, I'll have to move to England, I said. Aye, he said, shaking his head, So will I.
So your a white settler Mrs Ishmael like me,I moved to Scotland 30 + years ago worked in the oil industry, retired now born the same year as Mr Ishmael...My middle son is married to a Shetland lass, Shetlanders are much nicer, youngest son travels all over Scotland with his job
if you have a property claim you might meet him...I think Cleckhuddersfax might have change a lot since you last lived there...sorry about my terrible grammar punctuation i didnt do much writing as a welder...off colour joke for you wee krankies not popular in rural areas ... because farmers dont like barren coos... ill get my coat!
No need to get your coat just yet, mr benjamin, stay and yarn a while first. We moved up to the north of the North on a whim as our gap year - our adventure, in headlong retreat from the City. I wanted to go back to Yorkshire, but mr ishmael shared your view that the West Riding existed only in my imagination, the past being a foreign country where they do things differently, and he fancied the far, far North. That was the best part of twenty years ago, and I have to agree with mr ishmael that Scotland's the best part of England, apart from Yorkshire,of course.
