Most of the article is about sarwar and his performance so they put a pic of Ross there. I do think they have handled the ferry situation terribly. I don't get how a state owned company wouldn't get the contract. The ferry companies like calmac also need to get a grip as well. They get millions in subsidies without it having to justify what they spend it on. I'm sure I read that calmac get over 800 million in subsidies. I think local councils have increased the cost of docking in their ports but calmac shouldn't be getting as much as they ro with a free range. They also get used to get money from Europe for fleet maintenance. With that now gone they will do be wanting more. Google and see how much calmac get and you'll be shocked at the amount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've shifted from being a pro-Indy left wing party to a centre right party filled to the brim with middleclass self centred careerists with little interest in actually achieving the stated goal of the party because they have a captive audience of circa 45% of the population. Sturgeon took over a united movement and has split it with this obsession with gender identity and her own ego all whilst building a personality cult that Jonestown would be jealous of. Brexit was an absolute gift. The election of Boris Johnson, another absolute gift. Without any shadow of a doubt the worst Prime Minister in living memory. I cannot for a second believe that Salmond would have sat on his hands the way Sturgeon has. Quite simply, the Union could not be in safer hands. The lack of strategy or forward planning to take independence forward has been pathetic. The lack of ability to secure the swing vote following brexit has been pathetic. The same huge questions which lost the vote in 2014 remain unanswered and that is despite 7 years to develop answers to these questions. Independence to Nicola Sturgeon is nothing other than a tool to win elections. She's a charlatan with absolutely no interest in anything other than her own ego. If she delivers a referendum (let alone Independence) I'll eat my shoes. *I realise you have an opposing view on the constitutional question. Good post.
