They're raising the cost of housing to make housing more affordable? I'm reading this?
That would be stupid. They're not raising the cost of all housing. Only for the people that will most struggle to pay for it.

So, you're just providing vague soundbites rather than actually being able to name one solitary thing that I can value & cherish about my so-called British identity. That's some advert for the Union.
I'll bite again though. Given your use of "thousands", can you name one British tradition from two or more millenia ago?
Here's a map of the island of Great Britain in AD 43, divided into various groupings.
Perhaps you can give details of the British traditions we consiously or unconciously adhere to from (say) the Durotriges or the Coritani?
Those are all names used by mainly Pliny (the elder i think) and don't necessarily correspond to any actual tribal groupings and the territories are at best an approximation and are mostly guesswork.
The Romans would have called all of those people Britons and Celts too. Doesn't mean that's what they thought of themselves as.

Was clearly steaming when I started this. Pretty boozy now. I think what I was trying to get to. The argument against Scottish Independence is pretty much Too wee too poor and to stupid.
Is there a different argument, that someone could convey.
It's all a bit pointless really.

People getting nostalgic for Blockbuster Video.
Blockbuster was a terrible chain that killed off the original local video rental shops, then the smaller chains. All had better prices and a more interesting array of films, especially the older and more obscure ones. Blockbuster just kept a lot of stock of the latest releases and gradually narrowed their selection to the most recent and popular titles, eventually bumping their prices up to a silly degree as they had no competition left. They also refused to stock films that didn't fit with their Christian values, and insisted on being supplied with their own edits of films which cut out scenes they didn't like.
Don't forget cinema-priced sweets and crisps.

Firstly, we're in 2024, I thought bread bins went the way of old fashioned fishing ornaments and a wee gold clock that you could see it's gears moving.
Secondly, takeaways - Indian restaurants are particularly bad for it but others are just as bad - that put a price against a main and don't include any sides at all within the price. I want my meal all inclusive - give me options - asking for an additional £3 for rice or chips or a naan just makes me feel ripped off. I'm happy to be ripped off otherwise I would be cooking something myself - just give me one price with at least 1 side included so it actually forms the basis of a meal as opposed to just some chicken and sauce.
Ordering your own "meal" from an Indian is gauche, unless it's only you ordering. If i saw a a menu that included chips in the price i'd assume it was shit curry.

Celtic pushing up the transfer fees has helped the dons get nearly 7 million for a player welcome to the player trading policy guys.
Thanks Celtic. We are so grateful. X

I think I’ve posted this before but it’s happening more often so it needs to be said.
What is it with folk unable to maintain a constant speed? Anytime I’m on the motorway I have cruise control on and the number of times I’ll be in the overtaking lane and get level with someone and they just magically up the speed by 10mph and disappear. Only for me to then catch back up with them a few minutes later.
Next person that does it is getting side swiped
Same arseholes, when i'm in the left lane, come flying up to about a metre past me then dawdle along about 0.1 mph slower than me, boxing me in as a tow truck/ cement mixer starts looming ahead. Sometimes, wheels like crater face's would be just the job.

News to me...
It was rumoured but unless you've got access to a source I don't there's been nothing official yetApologies, i saw it reported somewhere. I don't think he'd be better than what you have, although he maywell have improved in the last two years.

"This article replaces an earlier version of 18 August 2024, which appeared under the headline “Extreme misogyny to be treated as terrorism under UK government plans”. In fact such misogyny would be treated as extremism, not terrorism, under a planned review of counter-extremism strategy. The version published above includes further revisions and updates."
Typical woke lefty disinformation.
Hopefully they leave misanthropy and self loathing alone. Freedom of hate is a basic right.

No news of rioting last night and no predictions of anything else over the weekend. It looks like the swift action by the police and courts has had an effect.
Then again Elon Musk has said civil war in the UK is inevitable so unless the right wing, racist, swivel eyed loon ball doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about then we’ll just have to wait and see.
Correlation isn't the same as causation.
There was a wee craze. It was blowing out already, like fidget spinners or the ice bucket challenge. Heavy sentences probably haven't stopped anything. I can't prove that but i strongly suspect it.

Don't know why people are so worked up. They can ask. We can tell them to do one if we want, and probably will.
Aside from criticism from the usual gobshites in the media spouting shite for clicks, nothing bad will come of it. And Kris Boyd crying into his monster munch is always funny.

I would tend to agree with that.
Anyone trying to get a job would not get past the interview stage in Scotland (there is probably something similar down south) after such a conviction with PVG checks in place.
I'm also kind of conflicted here, as I believe in giving everyone a second chance, but who is going to educate/ rehabilitate an inherently racist individual on their release from prison?
Apprenticeship at GB News?

Thinking longer term we probably should agree. We might need the favour back one day. Also, if one of the cheeks makes a similar request the seethe caused by rejecting it would delightful.

Personally I’d take the netting down, remove the police & let them batter each other.
It would make the Glasgow Derby a spectacle worth watching for a change.
Place weapons strategically for them to use. Two supports enter; one support leaves.

I don't believe so but I can see she and I bear the same cross.
Purchasing decisions should take into account all requirements and constraints, including storage. This is same airy fairy approach to provisioning that leads to my wife bringing home watermelons when the fridge is already full. No sympathy.

From an opposition point of view, somewhat disappointing this money will come to Thelin, as you feel he'll have a far better idea of how to spend it than Warnock would have.
Warnock's transfer record for us had a 100% hit rate.
It was everything else that was terrible.

Well played Aberdeen. Pretty much a perfect example of a working transfer strategy.
Sign a rough diamond for a relatively low fee. Get a couple of excellent seasons out of them. Make a huge profit. Jealous.
*investors should note that past performance is not a guarantee of future returns
It's not all that long ago ( not even 20 years) that we were looking enviously at Hibs' ability to monetise their youth development as the way forward.
Player trading is quite high risk and the stakes we're playing are increasing. If we can make it sustainable i'll be delighted but it's early days.

The lettuce motif was introduced by the Daily Star.
The Star is a Communist symbol and is on the flag of ChinaClear intimidation from hostile provocateurs here. I wouldn’t be surprised if the banner was made of polonium.

Cosgrove scored 21 and 23 in consecutive seasons for us, the second of which was curtailed due to Covid. A lot of penalties in there and I’ve not included his first and last half seasons with us but that’s the same as Miovski scored for us over two seasons in fewer games.
We did well to get a good fee for Cosgrove but he seems to be treated like a joke figure by our supporters instead of someone who turned into a really good striker for us. If Sokler gets anywhere near those totals I’d be amazed.
Not by me, i liked him from the moment he came on and assaulted Scott Brown.
Guess we'll see with Sokler, maybe he'll start pinging them in for fun once he gets a bit of confidence. At one point it looked like Cosgrove would never score too.

Too wee, poor and stupid

Depending when you grew up your parents might have been paying the electricity board, who charged what they could politically. Because we had a load of coal and gas, it was usually supplied at a price that covered costs.
Since Thatcher bribed voters with tax cuts paid for with their own colkective wealth, there's been a market for different bits of the supply chain. There's been price caps for all bits of this since the 90s. We need price caps because no one really believes that we could have a free market that works for society, so some bullshit regulated market got used instead. As well as covering costs, the cap needs to cover cost of capital, in interest and dividends that need paid to investors.
It's only recently that the price has gone high enough for media types to notice them, so they're now taking an interest in the consumer price cap that has actually been affecting people who notice their bills for 30 years.
It's largely a gas thing because of how we generate our power and buy our fuel. Global gas prices are rising again.
But it's also an ideology thing.
