"the UK shopper and consumer could have previously expected just about any product they want to be on the [supermarket] shelf or in the restaurant all the time."
When was this?
"Just two Ugandan shillings a month can keep Abigail with a supply of asparagus tips......without them she faces ridicule and loss of social status at dinner parties held with the local ERG set.
Do you remember your family going without? We can stop this pain for just two Ugandan shillings a month.
Thank you!"

I agree with that but the whole debacle is once again obscuring the fact that state pensions in U.K. are poor compared to other European countries.
If the rise had gone ahead the biggest beneficiaries are those who are not even of pension age yet due to an accumulation effect.
If folk live that long........

Douglas Ross believes that vaccine passports in Scotland are a very bad thing.
Douglas Ross believes that vaccine passports in England are a very good thing.
Douglas Ross is a very principled politician, and in no way a hypocritical, sleekit, grandstanding, evil little fucker.He's also a vote loser according to the latest polling. He'll be terribly disappointed about that.

What a load of rubbish.
We are talking about the same Scotland aren't we.
The Scotland that "exports £17,455 per head per year, while the UK exports £8,626"
The only nation in the UK that has a positive balance of payments.....(and has since records began) yet we are miraculously saddled with this huge ficticious debt whilst saddled to the UK.
Aye...no one can survive on whisky right enough.....but the UK economy needs it...It makes up more than 20% of the entire UK food and drink export.
This too wee, too poor, too stupid argument only applies to unionist minds these days.
Mate, he joined on the 5th August and just happens upon the Independence section of the politics forum - as you do.
The posting style trots out the same old pish just like a number of other banned posters who's names escape me but it wouldn't surprise me if he's another stooge either paid by SIU, or instructed to spam sites like this by the Scottish Tories or whomever.
We see you Bruce. Nice try.

Spoken like a true yesser.
The world has changed. The political dynamic has changed. Power brokers are no longer governments, but global corporations who now influence every strategic aspect of government policy making.
Governments no longer serve the people that voted for them, but serve their corporate masters.
As I've said, governments have turned us into the fools they have always wanted.
I'm not saying indy would be a failure, but the chances of success is small. Also our track record on domestic policy since devolution that we have full control over is littered with failure.
To be clear Scotland is a cottage industry that cannot balance it's books. If it were a business it would already be closed down. 75% of our meagre trade is with England. Don't be thinking that on any indy, the English will be making it easy. Haggis, whisky and tartan are not staples that will sustain a nation.
Indy would also bring massive uncertainty for a nation that produces little more than the centre of a donut. Borrowngs that all governments need would be at high rates. Not counting the 10% of UK debt of two trillion and counting that we would inherit, wouldn't see us off to a great start. As for joining the EU for handouts, it aint happening, as we would never meet the criteria and Sturgeon herself making soundings away from the idea, particularly when a hard border would be needed with our biggest trading partner in England.
She needs to come out with a coherent plan on her economic modelling, costings, investment. infrastructure and so on. She's had long enough to do so, but as yet it remains all sound bytes and jam tomorrow.
To add, having Swinney as the first Chancellor of The Exchequer of Scotland should be enough to see off even the smallest of investors and the smallest of enterprises closing overnight. Then there is the foreign office portfolio. So I suppose yet another job for Humza. He's failed at everything else. Might as well let him fail at that too and give him a full house. Those under Sturgeon are rank amateurs and incompetents and would give the toughest the fear. Can you seriously have faith in such a crew in charge of an independent and sovereign nation state on a world stage? You'd be the bravest man in the lan

So far we have evidence that exports from the UK to Europe have bombed, we are literally throwing shite into the sea and we know that the NHS is unable to provide medication or perform simple tasks like blood tests.
We know that food is rotting in fields, prices are up in supermarkets (and generally) and the lack of staff is harming business generally. We see that supermarkets are running out of basic items. We know that incremental expense such as roaming is/will be coming.
Any fucking benefits yet?

Fair enough.
Thats a proper response to my question.
Out of interest, is this being resolved by the NHS?
My medication was eventually sourced from somewhere, two months supply. But this was not an isolated incident for my condition limited to my part of the country, according to my medical specialist. Stuff is in short supply all over the place. I'm not particularly looking forward to a few weeks time when I dance this dance again.
I had a good laugh yesterday at the NI tax rise to "mend the NHS".
You can chuck as much money as you like but when you don't have the products required (or the staff for that matter) it doesn't matter.
And what's more- this Government won't accept the reality of the here and now and have no solutions.

I thought it was a very solid performance. Defended very well and let's not f**k about here, Scotland had the better chances in the second half. For all the flannel from crocker on sky we were never "hanging on".
I've watched Scotland play and you knew we were going to concede- but I didn't have that feeling tonight.

Well, what disasters are you experiencing?
Couldn't get my MS medication manufactured in The Netherlands as the supply chain is fucked- Brexit.
Had a relapse.
Enjoyed the sweet smell of sovereignty as I fell down the stairs because I couldn't walk properly.

More a very fickle claim to fame rather than meeting someone.
P K Harvey pished in my hoose 6 months before I move into. It. She might even have had a bath.
Is P K Harvey a tribute act that plays P J Harvey songs to miserable aging scenesters in pubs?

I blagged my way into "The End" club in London pretending to be Stuart Murdoch of Belle &Sebastian. It was Brit Award night in 99/2000.
Mr C (from The Shamen) came into the VIP bogs and correctly said "You ain't that geezer from that band" but laughed, told me it was "top blagging" and patted me on the back and had a chat.
Sister Bliss was the DJ. Never met her but got free drinks which didn't really mix well with the pingers. The absurdity of youth!
Edit- Mr C owned the club. He was sound.

We had a rack full of those books at the back of the French class. Whenever the teacher couldn't be arsed teaching, she just told us to read them. One day, one of my pals decided to go absolutely full tilt graffitiing one book with the filthiest stuff he could think of. Bearing in mind we were about 12 it was all stuff like drawing a speech bubble from some woman's mouth and asking the shop keeper to "Lick my cheesy m1nge".
He went at this for about half an hour, just filling every page with it. Everyone else at the table was in stitches at it. Near the end of the class, the teacher called him to the front and to bring the book with him. She'd been watching him do it all class. He got sent to the head of department's office where he was basically given a lecture about what a pervert he was. Was absolutely hilarious seeing how white he turned when he was asked to bring the book out to the front.
Happy times.
Same here but with German textbooks. Tippexing out the actual words and replacing it with swearing, filth and obligatory nazi stuff.
The best one was some German guy with a hat and briefcase visiting his wife in hospital. The speech bubble said "can't pay your medical bill? Then f**k off!" I'd written BUPA on the guys briefcase.
I got caught and sent to the deputy head.
"Are you going on the Marburg exchange trip Mr Tangerine?"
"Yes sir"
"Then you'll find that not every shopkeeper looks like Adolf Hitler. But I did enjoy the hospital skit as a piece of social commentary"
My dad had to pay for a new copy of "Deutsch Heute" or whatever the f**k it was called. This was 1989.
When Thatcher was deposed in 1991 he was one of many teachers hi-fiving each other that day, which probably saved my bacon thinking about it now.
