cdhafc1874 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 How much can the government reasonably do about it? I'm not being cheeky I genuinely haven't a clue. Not hellish much.Ineos are their own company, they can import what they use from wherever they want. (within legality obv) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It's been said that Sillars would start a fight in an empty room and as I've looked and listened over the last few decades, it certainly seems to me that through the ages he has made arguments that have been robust. But, there's always a but, there are reasons why he found himself sidelined in favour of Salmond. His comments today on Nicola Sturgeon speak of a needless recalcitrant nature that have obviously limited him. On the one hand he says Nichola should make way for someone else,then immediately says there is no one good enough to replace her.Very helpful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish Government have no grounds or the powers to hinder or ban imports of foreign ethane. It only looks bad if you don't think about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 For f**k sake. The story about flights to Europe being grounded in a no Deal scenario will be a moot point if there's another 20% knocked off the pound, nobody will be able to afford holidays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelex at Glasgow Airport yesterday were selling Euros at 0.99 to the £. They're always robbing b*****ds anyway, but it's still pretty frightening. John Lewis have it at 1.1 just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob the tank Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 In fuerteventura last month a pint of tropical was twice the price of a pint in my local anyway, without the crap exchange rate. I certainly know a lot of people who are really having to think twice about holidaying abroad, or even holidaying at all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 So in the critical month triple lock wise for inflation it rises to 3% thus pensions will rise by this amount in April. You would have to assume there would be some "massaging" of the figure to make the pension rise as close to the minimum 2.5% (soon to be done away with) as possible so safe to assume in the real world it's above 3%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I have to say I'm a little embarrassed by the snp's 'performance' in Westminster today at Prime Minister's questions. The leader (is it blackford?) stumbled through his question, saying breakfast instead of brexit. He also repeated himself, resulting in a telling off for not being brief enough. The question itself was hardly great either. Then someone else rocked up with a red card for the linesman guy who is doing the champ league game tonight. A completely immature and embarrassing publicity stunt that was again, quite easily slapped down by May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
