vikingTON Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) 5 hours ago, Salt n Vinegar said: Demonstrable benefit? Well I suppose if you discount a country-wide general improvement in fire safety regulations, removing the consequences of failure to replace batteries, all alarms going off at the same time, probable earlier detection and resulting less damage and more importantly fewer fatalities then you would think there were no benefits. I'm not discounting these benefits - I'm asking you to put an actual, tangible and realistic value on them. How many fatalities will be avoided each year? What is the sum total of these benefits in real money terms? Spoiler Because some people will still die in house fires regardless. Once we have that figure, we can make a rational comparison with the costs. Which will allow us to determine whether a legally binding government mandate is really the most effective and proportionate response to your sudden concern about house fires (which emerged, as soon as the SG decided that for you).

Detournement Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Does it effect your home insurance? Because if it does the main impact will be fewer people getting payouts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who thinks an independent Scotland set up by this woman would anything other than a capitalists' paradise is utterly deluded. Rather than selecting parts of her quote, why not mention all of it. Where she stated that all companies who have, or are, profiting excessively from the pandemic or increased energy prices should contribute. There would of course be an option if, after independence,she did turn out to be some sort of Thatcher in disguise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cynic in me would suggest that this McDermid bloke/woman must be a member of the “civic and joyous SNP cult”, hence the outrage from Sturgeon. Not a peep from Sturgeon re Goodwillie’s previous 4/5 seasons at Clyde. Selective outrage.

That should be enough to get someone emptied from this or any other site you utter cretin. Just crawl back under the rock in your cave and stay there. Have to defend Glen sannox here. Assuming he doesnt know Val McDermid personally, how is he to know that she identifies as a male or female/bloke or woman? Another self id bonus. Cant have it both ways Billy/Jean/King/Queen/Him/Her/Guy/Gal/Lad/Lass/cock/hen/dog/bitch/bull/cow. If he doesn't know her pronouns, how can he accurately describe her? Or him?

Goomba Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Sturgeon's Goodwillie comments were disingenuous and reek of opportunism, as proven by her recent dreadful treatment of Helene Gray on twitter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It is not bigoted to have a view against yours. Even if Scotland is festering under a snp government that is gaslighting its electorate. To gaslight is to convince someone that what they know is not real. Like being forced to accept a man is a woman. When I see a man walk down the road dressed in womans clothes, am I to accept that he is a female? No that doesnt work with me, if he wants to be a woman then I guess he will complete his "trans" as in transitioning. Then i will accept he is a women. Until then no. So maybe you should eff off, and @J_Stewart too. You pair of bigoted misogynistic bigots. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
