Nowadays no one seems in the slightest bit care for spelling.

Yup. I, for one, revel in my ability to spell misogyny correctly.

And that's twice this morning. **** you, predictive text.

Edit... just the once now. Admins deleted the first one. The pricks.

You only have to look around us. The only two small European countries near us which are poorer are Wales and Northern Ireland. All the independent ones are richer and enjoy a higher standard of living. That surely can’t be a coincidence. And there is no plan from Westminster to change that. They really don’t care about it.

Scotland doesn’t get its own ranking but surely we can assume we are below the level the UK is at. All our independent neighbours are above us. Not sure how they manage this without the broad shoulders of the UK though?

OK thanks. Combined with the same type table of prosperity for individual UK countries within the UK, it's a pretty damning picture.

How any unionist can possibly claim we are incapable of matching those countries is beyond me. Do they think so little of themselves? Are we genetically inferior? I really struggle to understand sometimes why there is such a lack of ambition for our country among some people?

Part of the reason is inequality in Scotland.

Level it all out and take the country as a whole and we’re struggling.

That doesn’t take into account how good life is here for some. There have always been a relatively small number of people doing very nicely under the status quo in Scotland. If you live in a huge house worth millions, can afford to bypass our health and education systems by paying privately... why would you vote for change? The Tories were considered to have been “wiped out” in Scotland, yet their vote has always held up at a solid 15% or so.

Then you have those somewhere in the middle who can be easily terrified into thinking that the only change available is to sink to the bottom of society. Scots are horrendous for tolerating stuff out of fear of it possibly being worse, so we have a decent number who can be easily frightened, especially older folk.

Some people’s position I can understand. Some I cannot fathom.

No criticism of the union that got this pay settlement for its members, but maybe an indication of the type of deal that would have sat well with many.

You would have thought that a competent opposition leader would know about these things and at least put it up for comparison. There will always be calls that it is too little but the idea of your salary rising by an eighth over 3 years would satisfy many

This sums up Davidson for me, her being that type of character and carrying that reputation around would normally be a big enough cross to bear. The sort of abuse we're seeing here isn't needed.

Seems to be a Farage type political figure needing the attention and trying to be relevant.

She simply couldn't handle it when Nic fired back at her on Friday inside the Parliament. Was a joy to watch her face.

Never mind that, I want to know how many World Cup stars the UK is buying and what Scotland's Barnett share of those is going to be.

On a more serious note, if we don't park this COVID related debt as VERY long term debt (50 to 100) years then we are out of our minds. Even with it we're not in a bad fiscal state. Our dry fiscal reputation and record means that we could announce we were going to restore the finances on that element over the longer term and the money markets would barely bat an eyelid as long as it was clear we were serious about it. Try that as Argentina or whatever and you're toast, do it as the UK and you're fine.

They are Unions for Senior Civil Servants. Maybe easier to accept changes of terms and conditions when you are the boss. I don't like pay deals that take hard earned terms and conditions. They usually come along after a decade of pay restraint when workers are desperate and have no choice to vote for them. They very often regret it down the line as is the case with many of DWP

I’m sharing that widely.

It feels a lot like 1981, not 2021. Lots on here won’t remember it, but it feels like similar times. The difference being that then the sitting Tory Thatcher government was massively unpopular, Michael Foots Labour and then the SDP were rocking big polling leads for months at a time. Then the Falklands came along and everything changed. Now the Tories seem untouchable in midterm and no one wants to know why millions of families can’t feed their kids.

It really is. I think the UK are something like the 6th richest country in the world and we have people queuing for food because they can’t afford to buy it themselves. The generosity of others is what’s keeping people alive while the government are awarding billions to their mates. It’s scandalous.

Enough brits are selfish, arrogant, unfeeling, gullible pieces of excrement that this and other crimes against the population will continue and get worse for a very long time.
How will the streets look when there's no NHS and the state pension age is raised to whatever age the advisors tell them poor people will be dead by?
Britain...a ****ing mess of a country. Those who think they are comfortable just now need to be looking over their shoulders.
