Thankfully we are moving away from reliance on 'dirty' energyQuote:

Scotland gets over 2/3rds of it's energy from renewables and it's been growing. Nuclear power plants should be reducing in number, not growing.Quote:

Proceedings against BoJo dropped. Basically his defence was he did his lying in his roles as part of the Leave campaign, not as part of his duties in public office, so misconduct in public office doesn't apply.
tbh, I think that's fair enough even though he's a contemptible *****bag. I think the court publicity would've been counterproductive anyway.
Hard to argue with that.Quote:

The fact that it got this far will have given Boris a few sleepless nights, and if the publicity and the fact that it got this far plants a seed of doubt in the minds of politicians before they come out with some of their more outrageous promises, then it has been worth it.Quote:

The radio said there that four of the Tory leader candidates have admitted abusing Class A drugs. What the...

I saw that in relation to Michael Gove. My initial reaction was cynical and wondered if it was a calculated PR stunt where they thought the benefits of appearing relatable and “real” would outweigh any fallout.Quote:

That's where I am. I daresay some of the small and big C Tories may find it shocking but we live in a time when a lot of the electorate in their 20s through their 60s have probably dabbled with drugs at some point in their life.Quote:

It’s not the drug use that’s a problem. It’s the typical hypocritical pish about regretting it. All he regrets is that it’s about to come out in someone’s book.Quote:

Lets hear you're take on the Spanish Ambassador being sacked for mentioning Scottish separatism/independence and the Rockall Snp government v Irish government spat over fishing rights?
Come on Je me Souviens?
Let's tell the good Scots folk the current situation!
Come on Je me souviens?
At least the Modfather tries to argue his best despite limited arguments that at least demonstrates a fighting scots attitude. You don't show that which tells me you're just a trouble maker with no real hard interest in what happens here in Scotland. If I'm right you'd be better doing one.
Mon the Scots.
Nah. Its no just tories that are sleekit lying *******s. Its brigadoons like je me soveins or whatever his/her user name is.
I've every respect for those who show the fighting Scots spirit despite how way wrongful it may be because I myself either wrongly or rightfully have inherited it.
I'm proud Scots but also recognise just how much we here in the UK should display it against other than.
Mon the Scots and UK
That Michael Gove seemed like a nice young man on The Andrew Marr Show today. I don't think he told any lies at all. Preferable to Bojo or Fauxrage for PM.
Mutterings in the papers about Labour getting rid of Watson and Starmer from the shadow front bench. Ffs.
Gove introduced legislation when he was Education secretary that banned teachers being caught using Class A drugs from returning to their jobs.
So you can't return to a classroom to teach, but you can still expect apparently to run the country?
That's where this news story bothers me - not the fact that he's taken drugs - I couldn't care less about that. It's the hypocrisy of his actions.
I find him as unpalatable as Johnson - some of his proposals during his time as education secretary were horrific (he was behind the proposal to remove non-UK authors from the English curriculum) and he's been a ****ing hopeless environment secretary.
I wonder why he fessed up? The story must have been about to be sensationally splashed over the papers so this is his attempt at damage limitation. Watch people coming out of the woodwork with Gove's chinged up shenanigans. Cant wait.
