Aye, OK. 

 

Tories, who capped public pay, reduced public spending, lost our credit rating and trippled the debt, reduced scotlands funding year on year and had/have the tagline - all in this together-are not the party of austerity. 

 

It's the SNPs and labour's fault and they champion austerity. 

 

Fantastic stuff. 

 

 

 

 

 

“...reduced Scotland’s funding year on year...” 

 

Please explain how, when U.K. public spending has increased year on year, Scotland’s funding has reduced under Barnett. 

 

You might recall, from earlier this evening, that I posted the annual change in total public spending in graphical format. Does any year in that series display a reduction?

£100M a year to keep the filth at bay from Scots. 

 

Could be spending that elsewhere. How many NHS staff could £100m a year pay for?

 

tories. Utter riseable filth.

Once the EU funding is withdrawn ( and we pay the exit bill) from various  areas, who will plug that, the Tories.....

What exactly are "we" told to do?

There have been a number of decisions made by Westminster I've disagreed with.

Likewise Holyrood. 

The fact they're Scottish mistakes makes them no more palatable.

When Scotland played Brazil in the opening match of a previous World Cup,  Holyrood  decreed that all of its employees should be allowed to watch it in working time if they wanted. Source me - I watched it

You are not treating like with like.

 

Holyrood is the Scottish parliament

 

Westminster is the British parliament.

 

Now, if there was an English parliament, I'd be wondering what the hell the SNP were doing there!

 

Again, should the running of the UK be stopped so that the representatives of one constituent part should go and watch a football match cancel the whole proceedings?

 

Had it been Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland, would Parliament have finished early for everyone to go and watch the game?  I doubt it somehow.

Was just wondering about that. On reflection it was Donald Dewar as the Secretary of State for Scotland who decreed  that his Scottish Office Employees  should be allowed to watch the  game. So to  address another poster it was granted by Westminster

Yes, but not Westminster itself i.e. the House of Commons.

 

To say that civil servants in Scotland could watch the game is not the same as the House of Commons downing tools!

Are you honestly suggesting that the SNP were more concerned about parliamentary business and some meaningless votes than being disruptive? Disruption is their new raison d’être (source - Blackford himself). 

 

Even if the votes were of consequence, their time-wasting foot dragging through the Division Lobby is the behaviour of surly children.  

 

A reading of the Hansard Report might prove interesting.

 

I might add that the strategy was claimed to afford them a chance to speak out against continuing austerity. Quite ironic given they brought austerity to Scotland before the Tories were in power (source: Sturgeon herself).

I can't be sure but I would think Sturgeon has had plenty to say about it.

 

She chooses to be anti trump .

There's not a lot wrong with that.

 

But aye Geoff it is all a lot of shite.

I find it laughable the double standards and the ease that the joke that is opposition gathers to oppose Trump.

 

Sectarianism is no easy nut to crack.

I'm for independence and one of the many reasons I'm for it is so that Scotland can deal with that with out hiding behind the excuse of blaming England.

Which embarrassingly is the call of many.

Aye okay. You can type "pish " and "shite" all you like but these are serious questions. 

If you're talking about diversity you have folk saying They're simply celebrating their Irish heritage.  There's a fine line between doing that and promoting bigotry/ terrorism. 

Similarly you can't just dismiss people with an Orange background as outright bigots with no redeeming features. 

Well clearly you can but you're looking at it simplistically.
