They really are clueless goons, I know that's thrown around a lot with politicians but this is a whole new level of ridiculousness.

Voting for a party where this man is in charge of finance... seriously?

@TT - I think you pointed the same thing out a few pages ago.

Having been away for a bit, I've been trying to catch up with the posts ( about 20 pages + of them). I think I've become a Masochist.

I was surprised that May called for a GE, but on reflection, I buy the rational; a hiatus in the pace of negotiations with the EU, the growing certainty that spoiling tactics from the Lib Dems, the currently myopic Labour leadership, and the whinge machine of the SNP, coupled with the death throes of the Corbin leadership, made the timing good. As has been said the Government needs to have a better mandate to be able to negotiate successfully. The choice of 8th June was a brilliant masterstroke since that is the day I shall return to the UK so I'll be able to do my duty.

I don't see a direct interaction with the Scottish Independence issue, excepting a potential downturn in the SNP fortunes, debated some pages back. I noted that Sturgeon did not like it (which I found encouraging), maintaining that the decision put party interests first and not in the interests of the country as a whole. The party interest barb was a new landmark in hypocracy, but it was so nice to hear Sturgeon's concern for the country of the UK. I never knew she cared!

But there will be an interaction with the Indy thing. The SNP now have to write their manifesto with policies they would follow if:
A). There is a Referendum and they win
. There is a Referendum and they don't win
C). There is no Referendum

Tricky choices to be made, and if only one is given which one will it be and tricky justifications for why it was the only context and why the others were missed out

I wonder what they will do. My bet would be on them ducking every issue in sight.

Time to move on from the narrow circular arguments. A couple of years back it was oil being the saviour. Now it's Scotland turning overnight into a country full of entrepreneurs. Unfortunately it's the policy makers that create such an environment. The blinkered vision of the SNP is shutting out creativity. Instead uncertainty is raining down in buckets.

Your prize jewel of Brewdog is now US owned. Down here micro breweries now get shunned if they sell out. People are appreciating the value of local, unique companies.

Not at all, only 20% was sold and the two entrepreneurs are still majority shareholders

As for the narrow circular arguments, you are restricting yourself to thinking only the SNP can govern and their blinkered vision is shutting out creativity. Once again, post independence any of the parties could come to the fore .

I also don't comprehend why if the SNP is shutting out creativity and the policy makers creating the restrictive environment , how did Brewdog manage to break through. Also isn't the critique that the SNP are not using their devolved powers?

Can you show us anything they have done?

I could, but that does not progress the discussion specifically regarding the posters claims they have not done what they were elected to do.

If we go that far why not back to the treaty of union and how much English money was spent in Scotland since, then we can talk nitty gritty.

Crack on then and show how much income and expenditure has occurred since the union treaty.

Do you think that is reasonable valuation on turnover of £70m (Dec 2016 figure)?

Or is that pie in the sky too like SNP policies!

Well, I'm not the one who has invested £200m+ to aid the expansion into the American and Asian markets.

The investors obviously believe in the potential and rapid growth the company has achieved to date.

I know I posted a pic of Duncan Banantyne saying I'm Oot, but I'm not really him
