Phillip Couser Tom Drysdale The SNP have made quite a spectacle of being uniquely incapable of running their own affairs. Then there's Scotland. Ferries, Education, Justice, etc. etc. etc. They are indeed uniquely incapable.
Phillip Couser Craig Smith What hostile media ? The SNP have caused the major issues in we are facing in Scotland and no wonder your friends are asking what the hell is going on.
SNP are not Scotland and we are sick of them running us down. We need change.
Phillip Couser Craig Smith No it isn’t and our deficit was actually £28b but oil revenues in 2023 were £9b and that was used to reduce our deficit to £19b. That £9b did not go south. Again tell me the issues down south that impacts us up here. The English get the worst deal of the 4 countries.
Phillip Couser Tom Drysdale For the last 17 years the SNP have shown me how an independent Scotland would be “governed “ . They are actually worse than Westminster. No thanks
Lesley Riddoch I was visiting friends in England over the weekend. I was saddened and infuriated in equal measure at the totally distorted perceptive they had on matters in Scotland. These are bright people, but they can only respond to what they hear from a totally hostile media.
Phillip Couser Craig Smith No it doesn’t it adds to the reality of our financial situation.
Phillip Couser Craig Smith Tell me the other sides factors. We don’t collect enough revenues or taxes that’s the facts of it. So if you don’t mind what’s Westminster got to do with our failures and not collecting enough money against our spend.
Phillip Couser Lesley Riddoch Awww poor misunderstood Scotland.
Tell me what don’t we understand?
Phillip Couser Tom Drysdale I’ve been hearing these limp excuses for years. Transport Education Justice and Health Care are all worse than they were previously. The Millions squandered on pet projects that don’t deliver and legislation that doesn’t work. Independence before competence and joke ministers
Phillip Couser Craig Smith Less division you say, division in Scotland has been caused by the SNP and the Greens.
Westminster actually props Scotland up. We have a £19b deficit and Scotland doesn’t need to find a penny of that deficit as Westminster covers it.
Craig Smith Just back from weekend away catching up with friends in England. I was frustrated and infuriated in equal measure at the lacking of understanding of things in Scotland. These were bright people, but what do you expect when they only get a distorted picture thro a hostile media.
Phillip Couser Don’t you just wish we could go with the facts and not a Huge distortion of them.
CllrJoolsBellSNP 🌻🎗🏴 🐈 🐕💛🌻 Lesley Riddoch I am genuinely a bit of an Anglophile, there is so much about English life that I admire. However, what was most saddening was when I tried to bring an alternative perspective was to be labelled ‘anti-English’. This is the result of deliberate division driven by the UK MSM.
Phillip Couser I find it so frustrating. If you were digesting all this from afar, you could easily conclude that Scotland is a great seething mass of mutual hatred. Which is obviously crap.
Thonginmyheart Phillip Couser Why the fuck are you not in the pub drinking Guinness like any normal person?
LBC Andrew Neil Nick Ferrari Sorry, but Andrew Neil is out of touch with reality in Scotland. Opinions such as his will only increase support for independence, which remains around 50%. The hostility of the MSM towards the Scot Gov is starting to backfire as people realise how out of touch it is with reality.
