But for the Tories, they are solidly, intransigently ~100% NO, so they might as well dig in around it.
They're playing a very dangerous game. Using English votes to dictate over a country that rejects them. No wonder they're planning to roll out soldiers onto the streets.Quote:

We already have that pro-independence majority at Holyrood. Can't he count?
In other news, my dog has declared he won't try to block the dualling of the A9.Quote:

I really hope people there are clued up enough to see right through this, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Where did you hear that pkc are introducing the workplace parking charges? I live in pkc and have not heard anything.Quote:

Can't you provide a link. Reason I ask is that this is a quote from the courier dated 15 February2019Quote:

Come on Fife, you are struggling to prove this because the Scottish Government did not introduce the possibility of a workplace parking levy until this year as part of the Scottish Greens budget proposals, so how could a Council have voted on it beforehand?Quote:

I've been trying to find information about it via google search. But considering the sheer number of fake SNP bad stories surrounding the policy over the past couple of years, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystake. So bear with me. :wink:Quote:

Every leader of Conservative groups in Scotland’s local authorities came out on Wednesday pledging not to introduce the charges, which could total more than £400 per workplace space.
Just trying to give him a ladder to climb down.Quote:

As for being ****bags gove six months ago said no deal would harm the farming industry so much they would struggle to recover. Now of course as Boris the backstabber has given him a position it's now not as bad as he thought. If I was to go over the lies, misinformation,propoganda etc I'd probably be six feet under. The latest doomsday scenario written by bumblers own staff is apparently fake news. So even his own party is calling it's own internal emails fake news. It's so unreal just how similar Johnson tactics are based on Steve bannons way of misinformation. Btw Bannon has already warned trump and Johnson that populism has a short shelf life and you do eventually actually have to achieve at least some of the things you promise. The quicker brexit is over with the public can see through these charlatans. Mays time in office will seem like an oasis of calm compared to cock up Boris. If only labour could get a decent leader we could keep these ****bags out of office for decades.Quote:

THE Tories have been forced to suspend a senior party member after she made a sick jibe about Nicola Sturgeon's miscarriage.
In a horrific exchange on Twitter, Jane Lax, the party's treasurer in Moray, traded jokes about the SNP leader’s baby loss with anonymous internet trolls.
Ironically, it kicked off on Tuesday evening when notorious Unionist account Agent P shared an interview in which Sturgeon detailed the abuse she receives online.
“The GERS figures must be imminent,” Agent P declared.
Replying, another anonymous account, Femme Sag ���� #2135 on the list #NOTMYFM, tweeted: “Has she mentions [sic] her fictional miscarriage yet?”
Lax then replied: “Is that when she dropped a book?”
look forward to the BBC and MSM reporting this one
Absolutely disgusting, you’ll be waiting a long time before you see the bbc run this story on their news program.Quote:

An absolute lunatic as you say.
Her Twitter account is full of stuff like that. You did well to get a response from her. She’s the lunatic fringe that’s also part of the establishment.Quote:
