‘Loser’ Trump fires back at ‘irrelevant’ Salmond

Hey what's that?

If Salmond is a complete has-been, then he's our complete has-been.

Trump needs to mind his own business.

With that, I take my leave for less frequent, if intermittent, posting. I'm off. -- we are visiting our daughter over Christmas.

Merry Chistmas everybody, may all fantasies remain so.:)

Well, I'm pretty flabbergasted that you're willing to claim "Oor" Alex as your own :-) nice one string :beer:

He must have gotten under Donald's skin for him to bother responding at all. He is quite adept at that. I like it!

Have a very merry Christmas, enjoy spending time with your family.

I've no idea if the debate will arise again in my lifetime. Do you?

Best not to make any assumptions. The future is unknown.

Why are we still discussing currency? That was an issue pre referendum, it's not relevant now.

Are any of the parties committing to doing that?

absolutely certain that a new referendum debate will occur in the near future _ in fact if you took any interest in scottish politics you will find comments from both uncle Alex and auntie Nicola.

the currency issue will be a key issue for any future referendum _ just because you don't understand the issue, it doesn't mean it isn't relevant.

yes the vile Tories are committed to balancing the budget (that means achieving a zero deficit).

I'd have to agree with them, it's in the hands of the electorate. Not the politicians. So, they can repeat as much as they like, the people will decide.

Stop patronising me or I will ignore you.

What will the issue be regarding currency then? Do you know something the rest of us don't?

They can say they're committed all they like but are they on schedule to achieving this? I think they failed in their first term at making a dent or reduction at all even though the talk was good. It's a great sound bite isn't it. No one wants to saddle the future generations with an ever growing deficit.....can they achieve this goal?

The deficit has been reduced : as anyone with a little knowledge of the subject will know.

"the plan" - would've been interesting if Al got the YES vote if you'd be bleating about "the plan" when oil revenues dropped through the floor.

Edinburgh - 21 December - The Scottish National Party has increased its lead over Labour in the last month, with its standing apparently unaffected by reported problems in the health service and the disruption caused by the closure of the Forth Road Bridge, according to a new survey by TNS
. The survey of 1035 over-16s in Scotland also found the economy has become a more important consideration in voting decisions since the summer, and that more people in Scotland oppose the renewal of the Trident nuclear weapons system than support it.

With under six months to go before elections to the Scottish Parliament, support for the SNP in the constituency section of the Holyrood election was steady at 58% among those who expressed a party preference. Labour slipped by three percentage points to 21%, while Conservative and Liberal Democrat support held steady at 12% and 4% respectively with others up two points at 4%.

In the regional list section of the vote, SNP support was two points higher than the previous month at 54%, with Labour down five points at 20% the Conservatives on 12% (+1), the Liberal Democrats on 4% (-1) and the Greens on 9% (+4).

Tom Costley, the head of TNS Scotland, said: “The past month has seen the political agenda return to devolved issues such as healthcare and transport, with opposition politicians attacking the SNP government’s record on hospital provision and on maintenance of the Forth Bridge. The criticism appears to have had little or no effect on support for the SNP.

TNS also asked respondents their opinion on replacing Trident with a new nuclear weapons system. More than a third opposed the proposal (38%) with 29% supporting it and 26% undecided.

Thanks, and to you.

Has the SNP banned old people from voting?

fantastic news

by May there will be a huge SNP majority and an irresistible momentum for another referendum in spite of the all the faux nonsense on this board by the acolytes denying any such things.

Putin and ISIL will be queuing up to congratulate Nicola and offering fraternal greetings although the Kurds and Yazidi will probably be more restrained in their enthusiasm.
