One of the next things up here is going to be increased discussion around a possible 2023 independence referendum.

The cost of living will bite in October when they raise everything by 25% and when people need to put the heating on!

My Mum had the heating on two nights ago. Money to burn and not a thought for the polar bears that will die.

I have to disagree!

If you don't like something you can voice your complaints and if enough people do that, change will follow.

Who will you complain to?

Did we not already have one of them?

I suppose it depends what side of the fence you view it from (in terms of election results, % of the vote etc) however as many political parties do when they want to drive something home, the SNP's mantra is 'the Scottish people have given us a mandate ...'

WRONG! The Scottish people who voted SNP and believe a second referendum should be held have given you a mandate. That doesn't equate to 'the Scottish people' collectively.

Unsurprisingly they'll be like the proverbial dog with a bone on this. Part of me hopes a second referendum is granted, and then lost, as that'll hopefully shut pro independence people up for a more reasonable length of time. Of course be careful what you wish for as they could win. The thing is, because they also trot out the line 'there's been a material change ...' they can pull that one out the bag whenever they like. So in theory, if they lost a second referendum in 2023 or whenever it's held, a few years later they could be calling for yet another if something sizeable happens in UK politics, which let's face it is possible.

I'm very proud to be Scottish, however I am also proud to be British and see no real value in us 'breaking away.'

I feel that way too. It would be Brexit on steroids.

Your MP is a good start.

You've seen several public outcries over the last few years, where a decision is made and the general population disagree vehemently so a U turn is executed.

Like that!

I've said this before and I'll say it again. I'd rather Thatcher were PM instead of Joris.

Thatcher had a vision, she had policies and she was a respected leader with honour - many people who hated her policies, agree.

Thatcher was respected by world leaders.



Boris stands for nothing and is devoid of honour or integrity

I complained to my council leader about people parking on the Grass... he just blamed the police...

 

[securespark]

Did you ask him to do something about it?

Yes he was with his cronies taking photo sessions.. I asked what are you doing about it.
He blamed the police.
