To be blunt... it doesn't really matter what people in England think about it or how the English media chooses to spin it.

Seen plenty of Scots criticising it as well although they're probably not considered the 'right' Scots

I also just don't get the "Childishness!" part being a thing.

"Breaking News! The House of Commons is Childish" ... ... . Did I miss the day that it wasn't?

It's just bizarre what Blackford thought would be achieved by the House sitting in private anyway? Why would kicking journalists and the public out help his cause? And why could he not wait twenty minutes for the vote?

There were several SNP MPs down to ask questions who lost the opportunity to highlight issues they supposedly care about because they all walked out. And they claim it was not a publicity stunt but then all headed straight to tv studios and took a load of selfies together outside parliament

Well yes I agree with that. I was replying to

Mainly. The UK wide media are not talking about the power grab, they are taking the piss. If there had actually been something done to highlight the power grab, maybe more people would understand the point of it. as it was, it looked like he just did not want to wait 30 mins and had a bit of a strop.

Now you have explained whats actually going on I agree that Westminster is behaving appallingly towards Scotland. And if the whole point of this was to get publicity then it clearly worked. But to deny it was preplanned or whatever like many seem to be trying to do on FB is just bloody stupid

HOC is always childish tbh. It astounds me that the people we vote into power go on the way they do in a professional setting.

Honestly Livia, I get that you've given up on SD's but if you don't want to bother engaging in anything then maybe just actually don't engage?

Scotland receive an unfair share of public money. Even the BBC spends more on Scotland than in England. How is that allowed? Hope some English MPs walk out today over that and make it good and childish.

SNP membership applications rise by 10,000% after MPs' mass walkout in Westminster

And yet Maasfrict and Lisbon were just fine and dandy with the SNP.

The hypocrasy is thick in the air.
