Are you an idiot or decided to simply ignore an unambigious vote result?

Everyone who attempts to point out the faults with snp nationalism is a 'troll'.
What currency, benefits, welfare, pensions, jobs, careeers etc?
Ought to be ashamed of yourself leading the poor into destitution and the ill of health into probably death.

I am not sure how knowledgeable you are about the work done in Scotland by the various Drug and Alcohol Partnerships I referred to earlier. Most have taken an approach in recent years based on destigmatisation and trying to avoid criminalising people, and that, to some extent has been effective. It’s no different from the rest of the UK. I think when you talk about being denied the right to save the lives of addicts you are being overly emotive and that is irresponsible.
I would recognise that a devolutionary Scotland has been slightly ahead of the game in thinking about how to align government policy closer to a human rights-based approach. There has been a greater focus on treating societal ills in the broadest sense - looking at them not as criminal or spend-to-fix but as public health or social health - or basing our standards and expectations on UN-defined rights and the PANEL principles. That is laudable and it’s no doubt common knowledge that the approaches taken in this country to public sector reform and improvement attract attention from many quarters.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Its actually getting to the bit where I realise none of the snp separatists actually care a tuppeny bit about Scotland and its folk. None of them argue the currencey or what impact depreciation of currency would have upon it whatever it was called.
If you want to remain poor vote tory, if you want to destitute yourself vote snp/greens. If you want to avoid any of the first two vote Labour.
The Snp bots do not care about you or how your life unfolds. All they care about is breaking up the UK. if that's you're lifelong goal also by all means side with them but you were warned.

But instead we are tied to the ‘just say no’ brigade in the Tory party. We have them in Scotland but they are a minority. Unfortunately the numbers in England mean they are in power in the UK and the Scottish Parliament is powerless on this issue.

You shouldn’t flag it up if you aren’t confident about your premise. You’ve got a lot of talk but not a lot of proof.
Criminal law in Scotland has changed masssively over recent years, and likewise in the rest of the UK. The recent guidance on the presumption of avoiding short sentences has been trialled in Scotland and looks successful. England and Wales look like adopting it.
It is getting a lengthy list now C but how about acknowledging that Drug and Alcohol Partnerships spread around the country are the critical element in drug treatment services?There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

The SNP could quite easily make some stuff up to give people a false sense of confidence. I respect them for not doing do.

I can acknowledge that I’m no expert in most things. It often results in pretentious educated snobs looking down their nose at me but I plough on regardless. Sometimes I learn something but it’s rare.

Maybe also because the SNP have flip flopped so many times on this issue some people have little confidence in them having the ability to deliver this. This is their 3rd attempt in the last 10 years so again perfectly valid to challenge and ask questions to the people proposing to make significant change.
Or if you like yes the SNP should come out and say actually we have no idea if the £500 you pay each month for your mortgage will increase or not.Last edited by James310; 25-05-2019 at 08:15 AM.

You're banging on about tackling poverty and deprivation, yet it was a Scottish Labour leader that helped deliver a Tory government in 2017 and the continuation of horrific policies that impact the most vulnerable in our society. The fact that you see the SNP as more of an enemy than the tories says it all about Labour.
You're precious about the union, but Richard Leonard could do with learning about Holyroods spending power. He has spent plenty time calling for more money to be spent in certain areas, without once identifying what he would cut to pay for it.
Thankfully most voters can see through this nonsense, reflected in Labour continuing to languish in the polls.

If however every month I am wondering how much money I need to exchange to pay my mortgage and will it be 30% of my income or maybe 40% this month, then yes that's a worry for me, and it should be for most people as well.
We have always had the issue of the £ going up and down against other currencies but unless you run an import and export business or are required to regularly exchange money then it's probably of little interest to you. It will become of interest to a lot more people if we move to a separate currency, hence why people will ask questions that they don't ask today.Last edited by James310; 25-05-2019 at 09:19 AM.

If you were equally as concerned about the economy and the strength of the pound as you are a Scottish currency I’d be there with you and want to know the answers. However you seem very laissez faire to the current economic climate and the effect of Brexit on the £, but have your forensic magnifying glass on independence.

Has your life changed significantly since 2016 and when the £ started to depreciate against the €? Is it something you need to think about each month?
Of course I am going to question this minute detail, it is something I have an influence on by the way I vote if there ever is another referendum.

The points lost on them, that young Scots have died due to the current UK set up of governance, and the inability to see a way out. Power is everything to them.
They don't really care, as long as they can redesign their vocabulary, and throw the R away.
Michael Gove, anyone.
