So the SNP vote to remove the pay cap in Westminster but in Holyrood where they have the powers to do it they voted against a Labour motion (last month) to remove the pay cap. Hmmmmmmmm

BTW can someone ask Sturgeon what she thinks of Brussels demanding further austerity on France yesterday as reported by Reuters?

Tory cuts = evil.
Brussells cuts = ?

This is a major story given the lefts anti austrrity narrative.

A crossways cut in brussels helps them cook faster and more evenly.

Aye there are some seasonal workers in Scotland but numbers aren't high.
Partly because the call for haggis-hunters has declined in recent years, mostly due to the breeding grounds being turned over to more profitable (read:bigger) produce like sheep and deer, also due to changes in diet and the encouragement of "healthy living".
And partly due to the driech cauld weather (that's cold & wet to non-natives) of ours which seems to put lots of even seasonal workers off.
The peely-wally-teethed midges dinnae help either.

On a more serious note, G@@gle is your friend.
Here is one piece to start you off:

Interesting video. It was in English which helped my understanding.

When do you think the "seasonal worker visa" will be introduced. Some say there are logistical issues in coping with 3.2 million EU nationals being issued with ID cards that might delay it.
In the video Amber Rudd (speaking in English) said 7 months ago they were looking at seasonal worker visas so there should be an announcement soon.

These new carriers comming on stream by 2020 are another projection of British military power, and another very visible aid in the comming negotiation, given these will be deployed in the Straights Of Hormuz, through which much of Europe's oil supply comes. These straights are on the list published this week of choke points where conflict could throw the global economy into a tail spin.

As ever the Remaoners don't pick up on these things and still frame us a weak petetioner to be thrown scraps by Brussells. Yesterday BTW the German arm of Deloitte published a report concluding German car sector will be harmed more than it was in the financial crash if the Brexit deal hampers trade by way of barriers and tariffs.

Remoanrs and Nat Europhiles simply do not get Brexit at all, not in the slightest

One of them will never see service because we can't afford to deploy it, and will live out its days as a sort of floating spare parts store for the first one.


That first one currently has no planes. When it does have planes it will only have 30, a third the amount it should have had before it transpired we can't afford to buy any more from the Americans.


Assuming we do sail it off somewhere and its Windows XP OS doesnt get hacked by Anonymous, then we barely have enough warships to actually protect it with a carrier group.


Assuming we do, a dozen Russian hypersonic missiles could sink the entire fleet in half a second.


Therefore, you are quite right Conrad. This is an excellent metaphore for Brexit. An expensive, pointless exercise that we can't afford, that solves none of the problems we face, and is designed to appeal to purple faced Telegraph readers.

The only thing the SNP are consistent in is their inconsistency.

If we fact checked this post how much would need corrections and/or retractions?

I understand you don't like the idea of Brexit, but come on... without checking this reads like hyperbolic misrepresentation.

You always run the country down.


Also why do NASA use TRIED N TESTED OLD AND RELIABLE computer software?


Think for yourself, stop regurgitating tired standard old lines.


I have a pro recording studio with all latest gear in it. I use Windows XP (just updating to Windows 7), because it works and is tried n tested and not full of problems and not trying to do too much. Lots of producers use this same tried a tested software. It's why the Space Shuttle used ancient MSDOS and other old platforms.


You act as if the people in charge of building these ships are dummies and don't spot the obvious stuff a master planner like you does. I guess you could win more matches than your teams Manager, just as all armchair experts imply.


As to one of these ships being for spares, honestly it's not worth even debating such silly myths.
