Scottish Budget 2019


Recommended Posts

Budget in a couple of days. No overall majority for the SNP so reliant on other party support which won't come from Labour or Conservative and it looks like the Liberal Democrats aren't interested unless independence is taken off the table. So looks like the SNP will have to do whatever the Green Party want.

 

I don't think we will see any changes to tax rates this year but dont expect the changes in thresholds to keep up with Westminster.

 

More money for schools, police, NHS will be announced but I expect services will continue to decline.

 

Also expect another year of underspending far in excess of any 'cuts' in monies received from the UK treasury.

 

More pointless 'guarantees' enshrined in law no doubt as well.IMG_20181209_161634.jpg

Is there a Gaelic language budget for signs where nobody speaks it?

Ask the parties - Tory, Labour and LibDem - who signed the legislation at WM and Holyrood that ScotGov now follow.

Where are these areas btw?

I and my kids speak Gaelic everyday. I pay taxes too. Can't remember a 'Gaels don't pay tax' exception.

Serious question, is there any Gaelic speakers in Scotland who can't read English?

Depends how badly it's written.

"are", not "is"

It's about keeping a language alive, but you know that, and don't care. A fair position for a philistine, but rhetorical questions are dull.
