The source of income matters though. When the money comes from the SG, it is at the direct expense of some other funded service (as you said the budget must balance). If a council tax rise was allowed and the Scottish Government funding is accurate the that £144m would have been additional income to the public sector.

Only in the UK. So many things wrong with this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/disability-68178940

Strachen is pronounced strayen

I wouldn't believe what you read on websites. I once heard of an organisation that duped people into paying hundreds of thousands of pounds to fund a referendum campaign and then spent frivolously on expensive cars and unused motorhomes.

There that will even it out.

I am sure there is no link between these two statements. If you could just let me know what page on the 2019 manifesto the SNP proposed scrapping FPTP then I might reconsider my opinion. I guess the SNP will have handed back any Short money the took from this undemocratic system?

Sorry, that's a red from me. Thems the rules.

They are genuinely unhinged.

So who would you have instead of Hearts and Hibs?

Yes I agree that the SNP are the most over represented party at Westminster. I also think you need to look up the definition of contrarian.

Just pointing out how ridiculous it is to use the Tories as an example of how undemocratic it is when the SNP were the main beneficiary of the FPTP system.

What percentage of the seats did the SNP get and on what percentage of the vote (7.4%/3.9%)? It is a lot less democratic than the outcome for the Tory party. The same applies even if you look purely at the Scottish electorate (45% of the vote, 81% of the seats).

It's Clyde playing the victim card that has me so interested.

Yes ,why wouldn't I be?

Hester getting in is a complete piss-take.

In would take your own advice tbh. I know for Clyde this is minor in the grand scheme of shittiness from your club. At any normal club nobody would be condoning that behaviour.

Ftfy

You don't have to be there to know "the facts". The fact is that the guy is a representative of the club and made an obscene gesture to the crowd. It is in no way defensible. Especially when you are trying to use events that happened afterwards as justification.

At least 600k from SNP funds seemingly.

Poor Clyde. The only club that we have to implement segregation for. I am sure it was all big bad Stranraer fault.

A more obvious example of "don't back down, double down" you won't find. It doesn't work, the evidence shows this. As a non-drinker this has absolutely no impact on myself but it is bad legislation, poorly implemented and neither benefits the public health or public purse. Bin it.

I think you misunderstand who has the power here. Councils rely on the SG for the vast vast majority of their funding. The Scottish government have in the past forced a tax freeze by telling councils that any increase in charges would be offset by a larger reduction in their block grant. They can do this again if they want a freeze.

I was refering to the £12k he will get for resigning.

Probably needed the payoff to pay for his mobile data usage.
