Being able to break that status quo is different, imo. Yeah sure. I’m not against it, not least because uk politics and the tories are incompatible with the politics of Scotland. The difference to the man on the street might not amount to that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I apologize that you didn't pluck that figure out of your arse after all. But you are aware that the figure of 340 Billion is repayable loans? As in they have to be claimed, and then repaid: The loans, made on “attractive” but unspecified terms, would allow firms to carry out fundamental day-to-day tasks such as paying wages and rent bills and buying stock. In actual funding which you originally referenced, Scotland has been provided with 640million, not 30billion. The 30billion figure is for the UK. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-51835306 Edited Monday at 18:06 by Hunky Dory See above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, he apologised for accusing you of just pulling the 300+ billion figure out of thin air. You hadn't, you'd read it in one place and completely confused what it was for and what portion of it would be attributed to Scotland. You still seem to be doing that if you think you have your figures correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Lothian Jambo Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 2 hours ago, Hunky Dory said: They have recycled the same people over and over again for nearly a decade. I reckon at least 60% of the current sitting MSP's have either been leader of the party, deputy leader, or ran for leader at some point. A a party, they're tragically devoid of any substance/talent. Maybe they could entice Deeks Mackay to switch. Or perhaps Shona Robison or Christine Grahame if we're looking for substance/talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true leader for the masses with zero serious contenders on the horizon. A fat red pussed failed car salesman is the challenger 😂😂😂👍 She swept aside with ease the Yonnys last great hope...Roof. Long may she reign! Give her a knighthood. 😆 Unionist should flee south to escape a fair society and embrace an inward looking, little england toryism where they belong! I love lockdown!

With that said, I look forward to the debate on how best to build the Scottish economy again - but only once this public health crisis passes.
