oneteaminglasgow Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Sorry - "worst in Western Europe"? What are you basing that on? If it is PISA, then we are ahead of Germany, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, France... In other words, most of Western Europe. If it's the Daily Mail, then you're probably right...Fucking SNP can’t even intentionally drive down educational standards for ethno-nationalist reasons properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we really too small, too weak and too powerless to make a success of self-rule? “ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Maths we got 489. Which is behind Portugal, Iceland, France, Latvia, Czech Republic, Ireland, Germany Norway, England, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Holland, Poland, Belgium, Estonia and Slovenia. So not good at all and our score has dropped by 30 points in less than 20 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wright scores Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 On 11/03/2020 at 22:17, MixuFixit said: One thing in the UK budget that I presume will have to be adopted here is dropping non domestic rates on small businesses. As far as I know this is a significant source of income for LA's and most talk up till now was on devolving rate setting powers to LA level. It seems like a popular move but also like quite a big expense for Holyrood who presumably now must compensate councils who will still need to provide the services rates paid for. Highlights how cavalier it was to not give time and notice as has been done previously. Is it not the case the Scottish government will get a pro rata share of this expenditure through the Barnett formula which they can then apply similarly up here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly think it calls for a national realignment. I always thought that the empty-headed Natters were the most despised species on the planet until I went to 'the Tesco' at lunchtime and couldn't buy a tin of kidney beans for tonight's chili due to panic merchants. So I would be happy to send English stockpilers 'up North' so that you can make your own pathetic country of the vain and the selfish and have the decent Unionists down here to form a country of sensible people. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antlion Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) England would be pretty barren if it was only peopled by folk who approve of political union. Filter it down to anti-Brexit advocates who are also STAUNCH BRITS from north and south of the border, and then down further to ones who are also “decent”, and you’d be lucky to populate Llanwrtyd.

Detournement Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Back to currency. If we are using Sterling an independent Scotland would have zero options to fight Corona virus. Corona virus has killed the current SNP position. It has to be a Scottish independent currency. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For independence to have a chance in the next decade we'd need to match or surpass Italy for covid 19 deaths, not something I'm hoping for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
