williemillersmoustache Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Perhaps being in no way accountable to or dependent upon the views of thew electorate makes it easier to speak your mind. Like the guy who lost to Pete Wishart and still became a government minister the next day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accountable or not, he was bang on with pretty much every point he made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've certainly got much more time for "let's all work together" Unity Salmond than I have for "still seething and lashing out at being correctly ostracised for being a toucher" Salmond.

I wouldn’t touch Salmond with a ten foot pole. Anyway he’s totally irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The never ending slavers about the ability to borrow for specific capital expenditures but not day to day spend. Obviously not tedious as you are showing how ignorant you are. The Scottish government can borrow for revenue and capital expenditure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duries Air Freshener Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 10 hours ago, Dawson Park Boy said: Yes- D Ross and most of the SNP ministers are hopeless. Politically, I am totally opposed to Salmond but, as a political communicator he is streets ahead of Nicola and the rest. Duncan, who I don’t know much about, was articulate and honest in his views. Made a welcome change. Agree with this, DPB. Salmond has character flaws (don't we all?) but is a superb debater and communicator. Sturgeon isn't as competent, but has an incredibly broad appeal. She lives a lie and has cultivated an image/persona that appeals to all the 'right on' groups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry_Tibbs Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) At a time of spiraling living costs, while the SNP are introducing savage cuts; to local government, universities, policing, the courts, enterprise and real terms cuts to the health service. How can they possibly justify spaffing another £20 million up against the the wall in what is essentially a vanity project? On 12/06/2022 at 11:22, Granny Danger said: There’s an underlying point. A country that does not have full financial autonomy will never be able to determine its own future. Certain craven creatures are quite happy with this state of affairs. It's an undeniable fact that rejoining the EU would necessitate joining the Eurozone(Euro) and abiding by rules set in Brussels by people you've never heard of, let alone voted for.

G51 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Tough one for Sturgeon on EU membership. Rejoining it is a very popular policy among independence supporters, but unfortunately the EU is also very bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're putting out a paper on it soon but it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't start with a Swiss/Norwegian model to start with, something even Farage said would be best for the UK before the Brexit vote.
