Despite Wee Burney insisting that independence would result in the oil flowing, the wind never stopping blowing, the Scottish Groat leading the world economies, immediate entry into the E.U. and the absolute insistence that no SNP member disagrees with her, the first crack and dissent and realism comes from no other than Angus Robertson.

"Independence is not as easy as we have been telling everyone" It's actually pretty fascinating to observe people who are so fundamentally opposed to their own country being independent. I wonder if it's linked to some kind of psychological trauma or condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time you hear our southern friends complaining about our free prescriptions, you can always tell them that they have better roads. I actually agree with the first part. However until we have complete control over our finances we don't have complete control over expenditure. We are effectively determining how to best spend a budget that someone else is setting.

However until we have complete control over our finances we don't have complete control over expenditure. We are effectively determining how to best spend a budget that someone else is setting. We blew at least £29m on the scrapped Glasgow Airport Rail Link. This was due for completion in 2013, however it was scrapped in 2009 due to spending cuts, despite being signed off by the Scottish Parliament. Turns out they look like going for some kind of a rail link after all. Should have built it in the first place. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-24352404 "£840,000 in taxpayers' cash was used to buy land near the airport which was owned by businessman John McGlynn. It was later sold back to him for £50,000" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 You can't 'blow' money by ceasing to build something: and the costs were sunk against the wishes of the Scottish Government by Labour and their busted flush lackeys at Holyrood. The same brains' trust that brought Edinburgh its disastrous tram project, again against the better judgement of the Scottish Government. Better luck next time, you trainspotting weirdo, Labour drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 They've had 8 (eight) years of having the chance to throw every little thing at the SNP government and they still can't make anything stick, with the SNP increasing it's share of the first vote in three consecutive Holyrood elections. What an absolute fucking minter for the Britnats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A £1.13 billion Glasgow City Deal was announced in 2014. Any future link would be out of that budget apparently. https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=13045 As for the original Glasgow Airport Rail Link with the spur line near Paisley St James, that's water under the bridge it appears, and it's likely to be some kind of a slower tram-train system that may not be here until 2025 if it goes ahead.

Highlandmagyar Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 When, and only when, the Scottish Government (whatever their political flavour) has control over the whole of the Scottish economy can we condemn them for failings in our services. Whilst Westminster hold the purse strings it is ridiculous to criticise the way the Scottish Government split the resources that are handed to them. Utter bollocks by you. What a surprise!

speckled tangerine Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hustings in Dunfermline on Thursday. I have my initial prefered candidate although i'm prepared to hear what they say before making my final decision. Compare this calibre to "Scottish" Labour and it's fucking obscene. The daft c***s sent me an email asking me to consider standing in Glasgow next year. How they got my email address is anyone's guess! They are embarrassingly incompetent.

invergowrie arab Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Anyway back on topic I'm backing Tommy Shepherd but it will probably be Robertson by a mile. Angus is a good guy but I would rather someone who isn't so in with the bricks. Alyn Smith just seems a little pleased with himself. McEleny should have been binned for his abuse of the party's mail system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
