MarkoRaj Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 That's millionaire landowning farmer's daughter Kirstene Hair. Campaigned on a single issue and ousted Mike Weir who's worked tirelessly for his constituents. She's also a useless c**t. In 6 months she's admitted the Brexit Vote was "too difficult" and didn't vote, refused to bother with early day motions, called for the minimum wage to be scrapped for farm labourers and didn't bother turning up for a debate on the future of the Royal Marines (after claiming she would work tirelessly to ensure the future of RM Condor). For shame, Angus. Genuinely depressing read that. The entrenched nature of Scottish (UK/worldwide) politics gets me down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Aye, the 2017 GE basically threw up a dozen or so Tories who shouldn't even be Councillors never mind MPs. In fact the same happened in the local elections. In our area at least three Tories were elected to the Council campaigning against a 2nd IndyRef [emoji38] Some of them are absolute belters, Braden Davy chief amongst them. Pretty much every one of them could hardly string a sentence together on election night. Just a few words about day jobs and divisive referendum. Probably the easiest campaign ever fought. Reminded me of the single issue candidate in Burnistoun People were asking things about Theresa May losing seats and possibly not having an overall majority and were met with blank looks and more slavering about day jobs and referendum They didn't have the slightest clue what they had actually been elected to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Just now, MarkoRaj said: They didn't have the slightest clue what they had actually been elected to do They still don't. Kirstene Hair is a complete simpleton and will almost certainly be emptied next election now that she's started pissing off farmers and uniform worshippers. She's only 6 months in, so god knows just badly she's going to f**k up the remainder of her time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given they copied the Westminster decision to charge stamp duty on additional properties quickly enough, I’d like to think they’d follow suit for the benefit of housebuyers up here. Over to you SNP LBBT is already 0% below the average house price. How many first time buyers are buying above 145K. It's all bullshit anyway. The increased spending power is capitalized by the seller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermind Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 You don’t get much in the Central Belt for less than £145K, so I’d imagine quite a lot actually. Granny Danger obviously thinks it’s an important issue given he’s frothing at the mouth expecting even more money from the Government 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bully Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I would be interested to know which of the bodies that s33 applies to would cover Police Scotland (Note the SPA are a separate body) and therefore should have been automatically added? Quite clearly the UK government have subsequently issued exemptions to other national bodies and the continued discrepancy smacks of punishment to the SNP but it was quite clearly not an issue that prevented the SNP from continuing with the central(belt)isation of these bodies. Certainly. VATA 1994, s33(3)(f) allows recovery for "a police authority and the Receiver for the Metropolitan Police District;". My reading of that is that Police Scotland should fit the description. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 LBBT is already 0% below the average house price. How many first time buyers are buying above 145K.. I’d like to see figures on that actually. I’d wager a good number, especially in central Scotland.England have the sense to differentiate between expensive and less expensive areas, it seems foolhardy not to do the same here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger obviously thinks it’s an important issue given he’s frothing at the mouth expecting even more money from the Government You obviously do given 145k is the average price. People buying into the top half of the market don't need an additional subsidy to do so. If it is 3500 across UK , even if we are extremely generous given SE England property prices, that is only 350 for Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny that the folks who tend to use terms like that on here are the ones that the terms are most applicable to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermind Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Are you able to explain why you are expecting Scotland should be given more money yet? Or were you just overly desperate to make it look like were getting a raw deal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 A spokesman said: "This panicky, unfunded announcement is something [they]... have tried before – and it failed."A Tory spokesperson that is, when Ed Miliband suggested a similar policy two years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you know that there is one in Scotland? You clearly don't. The Scottish Police Authority is responsible for overseeing Police Scotland. Police Scotland is not a police authority. Just so you can end your confusion - http://www.spa.police.uk/about-us/ Quote The Scottish Police Authority (SPA) was established under the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 to maintain policing, promote policing principles and continuous improvement of policing, and to hold the Chief Constable to account. It holds both the Chief Constable to account for the policing of Scotland, and the Chief Executive of the SPA to account for its role as employer of staff and the delivery of services to the board and policing. 1 hour ago, John Lambies Doos said: Strichener doing his usual here Piss off you thicko, if you have something to add to the conversation then please do.

mizfit Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Got to be able to afford a deposit first to buy a house I’ve got £1400 in saving, probably going to need to add an extra “0” on that before I can get a deposit. So that means sacrificing everything for about 3 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
