i agree sheepwash. Vinny waffles on about the poor and means testing , but in effect doesnt give a shit about the poor , only that there is no division in policy in his beloved union.
If starmer wins in scotland , i have already said much to the denial of certain labour supporters like see 2 that he will force tuition fees on scotland. Somtimes , certain folk need the pain of a labour government to come to their senses.
I was just listening and watching his new labour followers of fashion digging that hole deeper and deeper. If nobody sets about breaking the spell, it will just carry on. as history shows you sheepy , westmsinter and its elite never change unless they are dragged kicking and screaming into change. Brexit was a blow to their world view , and now the establishment is fighting back using keir the tory . |

Decisions, decisions Thomas, they still won't have a majority of any kind and as we already know voting for any of them is pointless, we shall see how far they think they can push. Which it seems they think there are no boundaries. |

Which it seems they think there are no boundaries. Not sure sheepy. The snp to a lesser degree , and the tories to a greater degree , seem to be imploding and self harming. Meanwhile , a man who is arguably the worst labour leader in history , appears to have all the stars aligning.
Have to see what happens. With starmer as i always say , you never know , as he does tend to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Certainly despite blips over recent weeks its still all going for him though. Time to tighten belts and prepare to batten down the hatches for another new labour government. Its their elecion to lose now.

Well as you probably noticed in the past there are things that go on around the world that real populists have their fingers in so like you say we will see. I don't see him as much of a threat more like a desperate effort of aligning his stars. |

OK, so who is paying for all this infrastructure, say for example, Berwick Bank? Mostly our own scottish money pays for all the infrastucture colly , but our friends in europe have also helped.
We even contribute to much of the infrastructure in your country.....like london crossrail , hs2 , london sewage system , westmisnter debt , windsor castle repair.
Nonsense. Berwick Bank is an SSE Renewables project. As such why would they do anything other than sell the electricity they produce at the prevailing market rate. Indeed, it is the duty of the directors to act in the best interests of the business. Why do you think anyone who happens to be supplied their electricity by a 100% renewable energy provider doesn't have very different rates to those supplied by providers relying on energy produced from gas. |

Why do you think anyone who happens to be supplied their electricity by a 100% renewable energy provider doesn't have very different rates to those supplied by providers relying on energy produced from gas. Berwick bank needed planning permission from the scottish parliament , will pay business rates to the local scottish council , and is set up on the scottish eez.
Energy policy at the minute as i said up the thread is not devolved.
Thats why we need independence , to take control of our own bountifull energy resources obviously.
MacAskill exposes the "Great Berwick Bank Robbery" outside UK Government Offices
With over 300 turbines and the capacity to generate 4.1 Giga watt and power three million homes the Berwick Bank offshore windfarm will be one of the largest in the World. As such it demonstrates yet again the scale and strength of Scotland’s massive energy resources which can meet Scotland’s needs as well as providing energy for export.
“The Great Berwick Bank Robbery is seen in the fact that the connection to Blyth in Northumberland will take 40% of the energy produced in Scotland and from Scottish natural resources piped directly south without landing in Scotland. Scotland’s energy is being siphoned south without any revenue accruing to Scotland or jobs and economic windfall arising from its landing.
That bounty off our shores, not just in Berwick Bank but across Scotland, should be a source of affordable energy for Scots, powering homes and businesses across the country but instead we see over half of Scots households facing fuel poverty this winter as average annual energy bills are set to top £3,000.
“We are seeing the contrast between Scots families struggling to heat their homes and pay their bills this Winter, some of whom will be able to see the turbines from their homes, and the massive energy resources off our shores. The scandal of fuel poor Scots in energy rich Scotland must end and with Independence it will.”

Scrap devolution. Cut out the wasters. well scots are being punished for voting to stay in the onion vinny in 2014. Not content as colbops says above , with robbing our energy resources like berwick bank , scots along with the rest of the uk are paying the highest electicity prices i nthe world despite producing more energy by far then we need.
Scrap the union vinny.
Revealed: Brits are paying the highest electricity bills in the entire world
New research reveals that the UK has the highest electricity bills. Brits pay more for their power than anywhere else on the planet.
A new study looked at Government data on electricity and gas prices from the past five years to analyse the impact of the worsening cost of living crisis and discover which countries have had the biggest year-on-year increase in energy prices. The data, compiled by BOXT, was shared with City A.M. today

Child poverty in Scotland half the rate of England due to SNP actions
Child poverty in Scotland is at half the rate of England. Why?Two reasons. More affordable housing (https://www.jrf.org.uk/report/poverty-scotland-2021) and the Child Payment: The Scottish Government’s decisive and compassionate move to bring in the new Scottish Child Payment is the lifeline children and their families need, and is a beacon of progressive policy for the rest of the UK. www.jrf.org.uk/blog/scottish-child-payment-will-turn-tide-child-poverty |

The Scots don't know it yet, but they are being lined up to end free University fees, which they think by expanding them will be a poke in the eye. It will just make them an even worse burden. University tuition should be means tested. And we don't need to send >50% of school leavers to uni. |

The scottish people voted in a party to implement free university tuition , and voted repeatedly against your parties that wanted to being in english tuition fees.
Stop bleating , and respect democracy.
