    Thank you.
    I will admit I missed that one.
    Next?

    Look, I stated I'm not going to search back

    Just a for instance however
    10026 & 10033 - why has Nicola Sturgeon not attempted to increase exports as part of her remit as first minister?

    I responded in numerous posts about the need to full autonomy in order to make strategic decisions and different courses such as lowering corporation tax as an example.

    This option may provide additional growth and exports.

    Have a great day now! :)

    Come on, join in.
    If your going to call me ignoring facts, reference them and I'll respond.
    If your calling me a liar, reference them and I'll respond.

    P.S. I don;t run, but my life is not in here either.

    Have a great day! :)

    For one who's life is not on here you sure spend an awfy load of time here but.
    The evidence is right here in this thread for all to see.

    You're doing more to show folk how single-minded & devious the SNP & followers are than anything I've seen in a long time. Which only helps us Unionists, so for that you deserve a big "thank you".

    I'm sorry, I'm struggling to understand the topical discussion point here.
    Could you please clarify?

    NOT an answer.
    No further autonomy is needed for the Scottish parliament to promote Scottish exports.
    Both the Welsh & Northern Irish do it.
    Why not Scotland?

    It is an answer, you just don't like it

    [edit]
    Ok, lets consider the Scottish government wanted to increase the sale of Scottish exports.
    Lets consider whisky.

    Can the Scottish government adjust the duty on Whisky to promote more exports?
    I've said before and I'll say again, you can't hold the Scottish government to account on these issues until it has full autonomy

    "my life is not in here either."

    Too difficult to understand is it?

    It is not an answer and it has nothing to do with liking it.
    You're dodging the issue.
    Like you often do.
    So again, just for you:
    "Both the Welsh & Northern Irish do it.

    Sorry, it must be because I'm not that clever.

    The topical discussion for this thread is about all things Scotland.

    Whilst I am Scottish, the thread should not be about me. I know you'll respect that ;)

    Here a link to the OP post for some ideas on topical discussion points

    For clarification, I put in an edit you may accept as an answer.
