Salmond and Sturgeon Want the English Fish for More Fat Subsidies

CLAPTON

Interesting to see the SNP are continuing their much predicted campaign of doing as much harm and damage as they can to the people of England, by voting against sunday trading.

Whilst I have no particular view about sunday trading, the total hypocrisy of the SNP and their totally faux arguments show a total lack of moral or principled values.

Doubtless the usual SNP acolytes will support their absurd arguments

Sunday trading, we should have a new thread. I've lived on the continent and no Sunday trading was a huge annoyance.

It'll never happen in Britain though because our economy is so consumer centric. Imagine all the empty Westfield malls on Sundays...

Um.....you do realise big shops were only allowed to open at all on Sundays in 1994. Before that it was illegal in England & Wales. Even today they are only allowed to open for a certain number of hours per day.

the point has nothing to do with Sunday Trading (by all means open a thread about it if you wish), the point is bout the SNP and their wish to harm the rest of the UK and total lack of any moral or principled political compass.

I realise. I was just saying a thread about Sunday trading would be interesting. Nothing intended.

No, I did not realise that 1994 was the specific date. But that isn't really relevant.

Scotland last year ran up a £15 billion deficit that was proportionately twice the size of the UK’s, according to “devastating” official figures that prompted a sustained attack on Nicola Sturgeon’s honesty about independence.

Must've missed the part where Scotland goes independent and runs it's own economy, rather than getting a fixed block grant from Westminster every year.

Again, must've missed the part where Scotland and her MP's are now independent. If this was an English only matter and wouldn't impact current Scottish constituents at all, why wasn't EVEL used ? The Unions ( USDAW), and Labour are against too.

It's the Tory rebels that are Cameron's problem.

Is that the part where scotland cuts its benefit spending and raises tax to balance its budget?

you know the parts that are clearly laid out in the SNP document called .... 'the money tree and how it applies to an independent scotland'.
