Brexit. We’re out!

The bonging of Big Ben is neither here nor there let's face it.

For a Tech savvy country , I feel disappointing no one knew any music lovers with decent PA system to borrow ...

The bonging of Big Ben is neither here nor there let's face it.

I agree

He made it 'a deal' by going on the news and blustering on about it when he could have kept quiet
The government could have fixed this at minimal cost by sending someone up with a hammer and ear muffs or reconnecting the electric motor they used to temporarily make the chimes work for new year.

Had similar thoughts when I heard all the noise ...
Gave my local support with 1 of a six wimpy pack of rockets .
Wind blew most of the noise away.

Err, well done on winning the flag vote.

our local car accessory shop does number plates. he's preparing for a huge increase in sales as motorists get rid of the grotty eu flag and replace with a unionflag/english flag/welsh flag....... we'll leave the Jocks to keep theirs.

Not really, seems like your bunch are no different to the the ‘Westminster’ lot and like hearing the sounds of their own voices (something you constantly refer to).

Then there’s the thing of interfering with ‘decision-making of the neutral management group’?

Think you’ve shot yourself in the foot bald electrician, with this point.

Maybe I am having a senior moment but please explain the part above

On a side issue
Was at a house today getting keys for a landlord job (just over £1000) as the property needed brought up to standard prior to being let (Scottish Government laws, day job etc) and the last 3 opinion polls were mentioned which puts independence in the lead

The client (85 yrs old) proudly pipes up that all her family, all her 4 kids, partners and 4 grand kids are now Yes / pro indy.
She even told me the family had made sure the younger ones are on the voters role.

You do know Tel that you don't have to have the EU symbol on your number plate. You can have it if you want, you can also have any of the home nations flag or indeed the union flag. You can even have no flag or symbol if you want, so why does he think people will rush to change their number plates next January?

Yes, the parliament decided to change the policy on the flag situation, its more democratic and accountable to have the whole parliament decide on such a matter- that way nobody can hide behind a small comittee

Ken Macintosh wouldn’t agree with you. I feel your hole is getting deeper.

PS Clearly you don’t read your own bull pup offered by your party. If one thing I’ve learnt over the years, is not to believe any politician. For what it’s worth, I’m not a lover of Boris, but it’s all we have at the moment. I would not trust your Nicola as far as I could krankie her.

That just proves what all the official figures show... that education standards in Scotland are lower than the rest of the UK...

Ken will have to go with the will of the democratically (proportional) elected Scottish Parliament

It's not about Nicola, it's about independence.
Once we get independence I will not be voting SNP- they are a means to an end.

There is no other horse in the race that is supporting independence.

Why would you not still not vote SNP if they have done as much good as they say they have? Are they not exactly telling the truth?

As much as I like the places and people of the UK the rest of the UK is leaning rightwards politically where Scotland is more left. That is the reason labour are failing.

Yes- we could stick together but it should be the decision of the Scottish people through a referendum to stay in or leave the union of parliaments.

That’s the conundrum, your leaning left wants to split the Union, it’s not a swear word. Westminster, as you phrase it, is made up of representatives of people’s across the UK. The last election screwed (albeit fed up up with Brexit crap) was also fed up jwith Labour. Popularity is short term.

The SNP do a better job of running Scotland compared to Westminster running the UK, some examples

• Scottish Futures Trust - the ONLY method of procurement in the UK is PFI, the Scottish Government set up their OWN PFI organisation to cap excess profits and return same profits to the Scottish Government.
• NHS Procurement Scotland To help the Scottish NHS the procurement pools the buying power of all health boards in Scotland and saves - the Scottish NHS buys many things cheaper than the NHS in the rest of the UK
• Banned many types of combustible cladding in 2007 onwards -----------------------The Building (Scotland) Act 2003 which came into force introduced the mandatory regulation which stated:
  “Every building must be designed and constructed in such a way that in the event of an outbreak of fire within the building, or from an external source, the spread of fire on the external walls of the building is inhibited.”
• Changed procurement law in Scotland to require apprentice and other benefits. Community benefit requirements are defined in the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 as a contractual requirement imposed by a contracting authority: a) relating to: training and recruitment. availability of sub-contracting opportunities.
• Regulated private landlords and required electrical checks and fire detection provision
• Regulated letting agents and required them to be registered and meet minimum standards
• Introduced the PRT - private residential tenancy - landlords cannot evict tenants without reason. No 'no fault' evictions any more for tenancies after Dec 2017.
• Introduced over 1100 hours of free child care for parents free child care for parents
• Built over 70,000 new affordable homes in Scotland -of these 48,813 are available for social renting, provided by councils or registered social landlords (RSLs).
• The small business bonus scheme gives relief on property taxes for businesses which have a rateable value of £35,000 or less. This means many small businesses in Scotland pay no rates on their premises. It was introduced on April 1, 2008 by the Scottish Government.
• Baby boxes
• Banned fracking
• Set up a Scottish National Investment Bank
• Queensferry Crossing
• Borders Railway reopened

That my point. Why will you not keep voting for them after your referendum then?

 

[baldelectrician]

They are better than the craap we have as an alternative at the moment

We get 2 votes in the Scottish Parliament elections - one for constituency and one for list
The list votes can be a waste as the votes get divided by the number of seats a party wins in the constituency plus 1.

The SNP need a good opposition and checks and balances.
The poor opposition does not keep them on their toes and under less scrutiny. When we are independence many of us will not vote for SNP in the list at least and the small parties will rise- particularly the Greens
