Granny Danger Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I think Stephen Flynn will be pissed off at the meeting with the Israeli representative. The sooner he replaces Sweeney as party leader the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A specific example of that was Act.il (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act.IL). The main funder of that effort, Sheldon Adelson, was also Trump's largest donor. Which is why Trump was praising Adelson's widow in the recent viral clip. The Scottish far right Twitter ecosystem, awash with pro-Trump and pro-Israel sentiments, is no doubt boosted and to an extent shaped by these US-Israeli propaganda operations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Days Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 New Highland jail just 6 years late and 4 times the estimated cost. Between this and the ferry fiasco no wonder the economy here is f***ed.

Granny Danger Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 No government of any political persuasion should get a free pass, they should all be held to account. That said when I look at the level of the Scottish government’s mistakes in recent years and compare them to the unprecedented f**k ups of the Tories at Westminster, both in terms of social impact and cost, I think Scotland has got off lightly in those matters that are devolved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Architecturally, the entrance building takes the form of a central roundhouse with an integrated family centre as a focal point for visitors; historically roundhouses were used by communities not only as homes but as places of work and for communities to come together in. The main building reflects the flow of the River Ness and the colours of the Highland scenery. The long winding wave building form through the site means that, from street level, the building can never be viewed in its entirety and is not visibly institutional or custodial in the architectural concept or design of the public facing elements. Internally the focus has been on delivering good design in communal and service delivery areas for staff, visitors and prisoners which are modern, but also secure, safe and ordered. Well that's nice. https://bakerhicks.com/en/news/first-stage-design-and-construction-contract-awarded-for-bakerhicks-designed-prison 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. 1) Am not, and have never been, an SNP member. 2) Am at work. 3) The thought of voluntarily attending an event which is mainly politicians and political enthusiasts, of any colour, giving speeches, gives me the horror. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 The SNP can't have a proper reckoning and reset until the investigation into Murrell and co is completed, and any subsequent legal proceedings, with a bit of luck before the Holyrood election. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
