Detournement Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 It's going to be interesting to see how Sturgeon handles the potential nurses strike. Radio Scotland said Humza refused to discuss it today which must be a first on any issue for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 The Scottish Embassies are basically the SNP version of No Work Jobs. Big Val could be our Vito in France. Get them to f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Val could be our Vito in France. Get them to f**k. They are not an SNP anything. The first "Scottish embassies" were actually established by the Scottish office in 1975 and continued with enthusiasm by the first labour devolved administration's. The idea has been built upon over the years because it has been so successful. Last year showed Scotland had a 14% increase in inward investment as opposed to a UK average of 1.8%. Any cost these embassies incur is likely dwarfed many times by the investment gained. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had higher inward investment because the SNP and the Greens sold off our renewable assets to Big Oil for buttons. It's f**k all to do with Sturgeon's pals troughing it all over the continent. Even if you believe the spin that gets put on this it still doesn't make any impact on the Scottish Government budget. Scottish Government spending is a zero sum game and every penny that is spent on Haggis truffles and complimentary whiskey is money that is coming out of social care and the NHS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You inadvertently make the point. The Scottish government are not doing it to bring in direct revenue for themselves. They are doing it to bring in revenue to the wider Scottish economy. Its strange that British Nationalist commentators found no wrong in it when it was seen as a successful venture established by a Conservative secretary of state, and then carried on and expanded by following Labour administrations. Now its all "haggis truffles and complimentary whiskey"...........cringe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
