Scottish Government moving the goalposts

[BCram]

Its all set up for eck to come back to unite the masses.
Its in the stars

I don't think that is an entirely daft idea, horrific, but not daft!

Devastating news for the collection of UKippers, Brexiters and far-right oddballs and nutjobs that pollute social media and the pro-British parties, the SNP on course for a 12-seat majority in Holyrood, with other pro-independence parties taking that up to 21. Some meltdown there's going to be come election time

Chances are the 50.1% achieved by the Scottish Proddy Party in 19 oatcake will be blown out the water

Just a wee list of Scottish Conservative policies. Not the sort of post I would normally make but you did ask for examples.

Sector-specific Job Security Councils to help laid-off workers transition and find skilled work, based on Sweden’s hugely successful retraining programmes.A Town Centre Rescue Plan to help small local shops adapt and free up planning restrictions.A ‘Scotland First’ procurement strategy to have the government spend more money locally.A Scottish education guarantee to age 18 and expanded adult learning programmes.Community Right to Buy schemes for local pubs and other employers in fragile areas.Scottish Enterprise reformed on regional lines and new Rural Growth deals to spread high-quality jobs and business growth across the country.A yellow/red card system for businesses who make late payments and bid for public work.A new research and development target with better incentives for innovation.A Hardship Fund for businesses facing localised lockdowns.

All sounds good but it's just window-dressing.

The way the SNP have behaved over the Salmond Committee has shown that there is a problem when Holyrood wants to hold the Scottish government to account. Something needs to be changed and I don't think another government which has independence as it its main motivation will do that.

Totally agree with you that the influence of the British state must be removed immediately from all Scottish devolved matters, including separation of the civil service from London control, which has caused all the issues from the start.

Conservative and unionists defeat the SNP again......6 polls in a row morecfolk favour Unity......SNP on course for minority admin......but support falling.

Another devolution referendum now being discussed.

Close Hollyrood maybe the best answer if it's the will of the people.

Probably is as well.

Johnson can close the devolved parliaments any time he likes, don't need a referendum.

It's what his mate Putin would do.

Did you see this? Must sting a bit, eh, but never mind a tory councillor replaced a tory councillor in a tory area

The failure of the conservative and unionist party to stop their supporters from rioting across Glasgow last week, destroying memorial benches, pissing over statues, broken glass anywhere, has been a catastrophe for the linesman and his sidekick, Galloway. People don't want this lawlessness every week, as would be the case if the british nationalists were in control.

But unlike the SNP and nationalists he respects the will of the people.....so we would have a vote on it.

I reckon 54% would vote to close.

Only 33% of Scots want a 2nd Indy ref......that stinging you feel.....is pride😂.....gotta hurt.
