Wow... Tell me more about this horrific sounding baby box scheme!

It's still a fact that ''unelected'' Green MSPs, who haven't a cat-in-hells chance of being ''elected'', hold the balance of power at Holyrood.

And it is worrying that the SNP created a single police force (the first requirement of a dictatorship) , and that the Justice Minister is a complete control freak - even to the extent that guests at a dinner party can report each other simply for expressing an opinion which is regarded as a ''hate crime''. And then there's the ''named guardian'' and ''baby-box scheme.

It's still a fact that "elected" Conservative MPs who haven't a cat-in-hells chance of being elected in Scotland hold all the power in Westminster to push through the Internal Market Bill which undermines devolution of Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

Nice name btw.

The only thing they don't tell you is that it contains an SNP badge.

That seems... not true

Just another political stunt to feed the victim culture the SNP love to promote.

I know it’s probably wrong to make judgment based only on what I see on tv but does anyone actually like this woman ?

She seems so cold, argumentative, harsh, selfish etc I get the feeling she has done everything she can to hinder westminster through the covid crisis, confusing and setting different rules for no better reason than to point out she has power to do so ?

She seems as power crazed as a bond villain

I guess the Scott’s must lover her though ? after all she got elected somehow

Plenty love for her for those gullabile enough to fall for their victim culture promoting policies and are in the public sector,but for those of us who have to get out there and on with it I personally don’t know anyone who likes her,For me devolution far less independence has only brought negatives.Honestly feel shame and embarrassment every time these SNP MPs stand up and speak in Westminster.

What negatives do you think devolution has brought ?

I’ll start with Police Scotland.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say. what is the political stunt that "feeds the victim culture the SNP love to promote"?

 

[essexpete]

None of this sounds like agricultural matters?

Read the heading of this forum section.

Ashtree, The Crown is a drama it is not a documentary and in large chunks has little if no connection to the facts.

Unlike TFF??

Well,For a start the Scottish parliament cost 414 million to build and is the most unsightly looking contraption anywhere on this island,we pay more tax per head than England,Education standards have plummeted and we used to have one of the best in the world,Community buyouts are hardly a success with most running out of money after a few years and cant seem to agree amongst themselves,Nobody rents land now with this right to buy law,They are now trying to curtail freedom of speech with their hate crime
All the SNP folks are obsessed with independence and gay rights,fair enough but there are more important issues out there like the economy perhaps.The list goes on.

The way they always try to promote us as a

No harm, I agree if it wants to happen let it happen. Scotland was never part of the "empire" though, it joined willingly following a disastrous attempt to start our own empire which resulted in 25% of the national wealth being squandered. Scotland was bankrupt and needed access to empire and England granted it through the act of union. We were never colonised.

Glasgow was known as the second city of the empire,couldn’t have done us that much harm.

That's not right, actually. Right to Buy certainly hasn't helped, but farms have been 'withdrawn' from the tenant market for longer than I've been alive. Estates have never wanted tenants and the Westminster TAX system is the problem there.

The lack of tenancies is not a Scotland/Devolution only issue. Try and get a proper, secure, tenancy in England and you will meet the same dead end as in Scotland

Whats the point of dishing out baby boxes to newborns,some need them undoubtedly but more dont,a waste of taxpayers money,Yer SNP always give the impression that we are a browbeaten victimized country all caused by the evil Westminster.

She’s certainly dishing out the bribes at the moment!

Maybe where I am is the exception but most of the estates round here who have worked the ground in hand have been a disaster,some sold off ground and others have gone in to contract farming,Certainly the Westminster tax system is a problem with this also.

They've been a disaster here too. Too many farms layin ruined all across the UK. But estates have been taking farms in hand and ending tenancies since at least the 70's. It's nothing new and definitely not since Devolution/Right to Buy
