    Heh...

    Politicians lie.

    Not exactly a shocker.

    But only the SNP fanatics are desperate enough to waste £200,000 of their money taking it to court and losing...;)


    So that'll be a no then ... thought so

    Hmm, quotes from people with their own agenda.

    Not quite what I asked for.

    Prove to me she told a deliberate misleading lie.

    Prove that she was telling the truth.

    If we're going to see the End of the NHS as foretold then we are now about 1/8th of the way there. Are there any signs of the imminent destruction of the NHS? Anything that was worth putting the parents of cancer sufferers through hell for?

    I don't see it but then I keep being reminded that I wouldn't because I don't live in Scotland.

    Funny though, I notice that it's only the Unionists that don't live in Scotland that are out of touch. Separatists that don't live in Scotland have their fingers on the pulse. Just a thought, apropos of nothing really.

    Nah, you'd probably better save that for the small group of SNP fanatics about to be pursued for Carmichael's £150,000 legal bill...:)

    Speaking of which...

    I see the now legendary Mistress of MisInformation Joan McAlpine is running for the SNP again...

    Maybe she can harp on some more about those missing whisky export taxes that all go to Westminster. :)

    Speaking of liars....

    What a difference a day makes.

    Particularly after the internet uncovers documents that prove you were a bit, ahem, "economical with the truth" to the Scottish Parliament... ;)

    Anyway, back to those bridge repair budgets that were cut by the SNP.

    Never mind though.

    I'm sure most people will find a way to get around somehow....

    @Hamish - is that underspend cumulative? In other words, do the SNP have a "War Chest" a-building?
    Union, not Disunion

    I have a Right Wing and a Left Wing.
    It's the only way to fly straight.

    The Scottish media really is grasping at straws now. A 50 year old bridge at the end of it's life, never built for the volume of traffic it gets today... needs constant repairs due to metal fatigue. The SNP knew it wouldn't hold out, and despite repeat condemnation through the last 8 years, from all of the other parties.. are building a new one.

    I hope Labour do get their inquiry. Since it will show fully how inept they've been over the years regarding the FRB. Not least by refusing repeatedly to consider building a replacement. And handing a huge billion pound underspend back to Westminster which could've been used towards repairs when they were in power.

    Ps The helicopter is rented for a few weeks at at time I believe. And paid for out of SNP money.
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?
