Ric Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 I see Murdo Fraser, with a completely straight face presumably, called it "economic vandalism". Murdo Fraser, of the Conservatives, the Conservatives that implemented Brexit, called the SNP/Green agreement "economic vandalism". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual the headline doesn't match the article content.In any case it's just the opinion of one middle class Western environmentalist - she is not the fount of all knowledge as the media seem to portray her.In general her "analysis" is oversimplified pish that is fundamentally antidemocratic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly galling but politicians have to play along with the pantomime of sitting, nodding and smiling as a school child pontificates about climate change because the 'general public' are morons who think there's actual value in what Greta Thunberg says. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Wee Greta is getting smarter as she gets older. Anyway on the topic of the SNP/Green deal which is less likely to happen Indyref2 or Rent Control? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye because the SNP can only have policy on devolved issues. If the SNP are unequivocally against new oilfields they should come out and say so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SNP have already stated that there will be no new nuclear power in Scotland. A reserved matter but something they will use the planning system to prevent this. Just like they have stated with shale. Your post would lead one to think that only energy policy has an affect on the climate. Other areas are within their powers such as transport, building standards, landfill etc. We have also made out climate targets legally binding which would mean either the SNP are playing to the gallery (stop giggling at the back) or they are serious and believe that there is currently the competence (I said stop the giggling) in the Scottish parliament to meet their self prescribed goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Sannox Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 In 2014, these SNP loons tried to sell us indy based on some farcical oil price. Now they are reduced to getting into bed with a couple of vegetarian cyclists looking to rid us of the aforementioned “alleged” cash cow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
