I met a young Scottish nationalist the other day in a work function and he was absolutely vile. There were drinks being served and perhaps he couldn't handle his.

However, as soon as he assumed I was English he began using the foulest language imaginable about English people. Apparently we are 'all' Tory voting see you next Tuesdays.

I said, excuse me, I am not a see you next Tuesday. And I have never voted Tory. A lot of us don't.

On finding out I was Labour he became even angrier as apparently Labour doesn't understand Scotland's special snowflake status, or something and have never done anything for the country. Unsurprisingly I was treated to a spittle flecked rendition as to how English Labour voters are all see you next Tuesdays too.

I was really taken aback by his hatred and racism actually.

Put me right off Scots Nats actually. I assume they aren't all like that. But now I'm wondering if maybe they all aren't like they in the way that UKIPers aren't all like that too.

Sorry you were a it vague there. Was he a SNP member, activist or voter? Or just a weirdo bigoted nutter?

There are plenty of people of all sorts of political persuasions who are worth avoiding till they've sobered up.

Scottish education isn't even devolved. It was simply never united in the treaty of union (300 years ago) in the first place.

All devolution did was transfer responsibility away from Westminster's "Scottish Office" (based in Edinburgh) to the Scottish Parliament. The people affected can vote in the Scottish election relevant to that activity. But that's years away. Voting the SNP out in the Westminster election on Thursday won't get rid of any Scottish education ministers.

But hey ho, let's all have a moan at the mysteriously over-popular SNP by whatever means we can grab.:beer:;)

The Scottish tories are sounding like they'd regard 10 MPs as a triumph instead of a catastrophic landslide defeat. I guess to a party with that low a number of MPs that would be a glorious 900% increase. The SNP would have to blink back the tears about their 16% drop in MPs in the parliament they've stuffed with their B team. :rotfl:

Did NS say judge me/the SNP on education or not?

She very clearly did...so was she mistaken in thinking the Scottish Government had control over Education in Scotland?

Yes she did, over the term of the parliament she was voted in for.

On topic, I see that NS has just talked about the policing and how Scotland maintained police levels whilst the rUK have reduced theirs.

It's hard to see how the SNP position on security can be criticised especially given recent events

That great success that is Police Scotland, the only Police Force to be paying VAT. :rotfl::rotfl:

Here is one question for you, how have police dog handler numbers fared over the last 10 years? What is the average mileage driven during a shift for a dog handler?

SNP, and it was a corporate event in the industry I work for. He was essentially at an evening work event shouting at a colleague that that colleague was a cu.. etc because of his nationality.

I was prepared to shake hands at the end as I assumed he was crippled by being a moron. But he couldn't even do that and stormed out on his own.

All organisations have challenges and I accept that Police Scotland could be run more efficiently.

You do raise a very valid point about Westminster paying back the VAT to Scotland that none of the other 44 forces in the UK have to pay as they are council run.

So whilst trying to make efficiencies by centralising the force, its hit by Westminster who refuse to repay the VAT to Police Scotland.

I fear this question goes off on a tangent that is not relevant to the point about having presence in the local communities

Its a strange phenomenon that sees a majority returning party in the seats they contest are criticised in such a way.

The electorate have their opportunity to vote on Thursday and I'm confident that the SNP will return more MP's in Scotland than all other parties combined.
