I’m just curious why he joined a Hearts message board to talk about the SNP when he doesn’t talk about Hearts. Since he apparently doesnt talk about Hearts because he has real mates to talk about them to, the obvious answer is either he has no real life pals. Or that he’s just some kind of oddball that wants to talk to people on the internet about the SNP and we’re just the unlucky ones who’ve ended up accepting his registration.

I have paid taxes since leaving School and have received very little return in the form of benefits or other public monetary support. I'm happy that others with greater need have . I don't complain that the Greater Glasgow Area receives a much higher proportion of Scottish Public spending per head than its population would suggest. Its progressive use of the public finances.

Don Dan Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Energy minister Paul Wheelhouse announced in October that fracking was “effectively banned” as the government unveiled the results of a four-month consultation that found overwhelming opposition to the process. Nicola Sturgeon later told MSPs: “Fracking is banned in Scotland – end of story.” Fracking has not been banned in Scotland despite “mistaken” statements from Nicola Sturgeon and her government suggesting it had been, the Court of Session has said. A judge ruled that unconventional oil and gas extraction has not been outlawed in Scotland when considering a bid by petrochemical giants Ineos to start fracking in Scotland. At the Court of Session, Lord Pentland rejected Ineos’s attempt to overturn the Scottish Government’s decision to outlaw fracking on the grounds that a ban wasn’t actually in place. Lies or incompetence from the SNP either way Sturgeon needs to resign. Misleading business and the electorate is inexcusable.
