This is absolutely diabolical. It has nothing to do with independence and if passed by the SNP and Greens, all opposition parties should pledge to recind it at the earliest opportunity. That means SNP MSPs not getting re-elected and a big change on the local elections to get the message across.

Yes as I've pointed out since march 2020, once they have these powers they won't let them go

Had a look at a cple of properties in Berwick estate agents, maybe just out of reach this now but it's a possibility to move to the land of the free.

It's disgusting.

Mind I was told on here I was overeacting.🙄

Yes. Possibly even me telling you to calm down. Need SNP supporters to take a stand to help the country. Be interesting to think what arguments would be effective.

I own a property that I rent out. I want the tenant to move out so I can sell up. She wants to move out and get a council house. I can't evict her (wouldn't anyway) unless she stops paying rent. Tenancy agreement says 8 weeks notice, council says six months because of Covid. I will give her six months notice when the time comes however the council, with SG backing, will contest it and she'll stay where she is - beacuae there are no council houses for her.

My only option is to raise her rent to a level she can't afford, however if the increase is too much I'll get told I can't.

They're shafting everybody. So much for my pension, it's ****ed by these idiots.

It's called authoritarian socialism.

You are my public barometer.

You have went from we have to do what we have to do.....to now seeing what I was on about with vaccine passports and those that won't show passport and those who remain unvaccinated.....it dosent stop at them...they eventually come for everyone....just look at Aus and NZ.....as I said these powers need taken from them or it will be like this every winter.

She and her party backed by the Scottish msm are trying attempting a coup........it cannot be allowed to happen.

The good news is Northumberland's nice if pricey.

And Dundee is one of their strongholds. God knows why.

And Dundee is one of their strongholds. God knows why.

I think we are a cantankerous bunch. We are the only city to have been sacked -twice- and there is more military history in Dundee than Edinburgh Castle. We always support the underdog in preference to going with the superior force because we know that supporting the superior force have done nothing for us in the past so why not "twist".

Most people think that the SNP is a way of sticking two fingers up to Westminster and they see the SNP as a protest vote. I think that's fine for Westminster but it is not at all the case at Holyrood. At present we are getting some support from Holyrood via the creation of Scottish government jobs opposite the V&A Museum and the Tay Cities Deal. It will be interesting to see how the SNP at Holyrood and their Green colleagues respond to their refusal to use the fossil fuel resources in the North Sea. Energy prices are rising and we must be mad to think that not developing carbon capture technology is a sensible polcy, not using the north Sea fossil fuel resources to create fuel security in the short term until the wind farms come into being is also mad, IMO.

SNP have sold off the seabed for £700m. Will they ring fence that money and create a Wealth fund along the lines of the Norwegian one? I don't think they have even thought about it. Bribes for the young with a free bus pass to buy independence and then once they achieved their dream they can retire as heroes of the republic and leave the rest of use to struggle.

The only good thing is that many who vote SNP do not want independence and should there be another referendum they need to be much farther ahead in the polls, IMO.

We need to remind all politicians that they are not our masters. We choose to let them act on our behalf and perhaps it's time to remind local councillors that being SNP supporting might not be a winning plan if they support the rise of a dictatorship.
