 Time up!
Topic Originator: Parboiled  
Date:   Wed 30 Aug 09:47

Holyrood is introducing time limits of 45 seconds for questions and a minute for answers in debates and FMQs. Going from being able to haver away as long as they like to this strict regime in one fell swoop seems rather ambitious I must say.

Some of them can barely read out the planted questions and answers wot have been writed down for them to parrot. They will surely struggle with this.

Add to the mix a timorous wet lettuce of a PO who is hardly Miss Whiplash …fun and games are in store!

Watched FMQ’s today with watch at the ready.

Early days, but while there was some flagrant ducking and diving the PO had no cause to book anybody for time wasting..but can they keepy uppy?

I didn`t see yesterday`s FMQs but I`m surprised D Ross was able to frame a question in 45 seconds.

Elsie used to need at least half an hour to warm her tongue up.

Ross was fair miffed his constituents will be saddled with a trial of non investigative crime. They will be on guard outside their sheds with shotguns…

I`d be quite happy is there was a non investigative crime involving Ross and a shotgun
