    Jackson Carlaw resigns. He couldn't have had that job long it seems like only a few weeks ago he took over.

    Any whispers on who the Tory rapist is?

    (The answer "All of them" is neither big nor clever.)

    Why has he not been named? I thought as soon as an arrest was made the name is in the public domain?

    To be honest after the whole Alex Salmond touching hair and stroking legs thing I'm more for the innocent until proven guilty line on these things.

    Whoever it is probably is indeed a rapey Tory scumbag right enough though.

    Won’t be named until charged at which point it’s public record.

    If it was somebody famous, it would have leaked out by now.

    Unless of course it’s somebody from the correct sort of family.

    It’s England remember, “ born to reign over us”

    Not caught the news all day then I come home to see Ross Kemp has been stung in the face by a wasp and Lebannon has experienced an explosion of biblical proportions.

    2020 truly has no humanity.

    A non-starter. The principle of subsidiarity was enshrined in the Scottish Constitutional Convention’s output from its continued work and lobbying for devolution after 1979. The work of the Convention, itself boycotted by the current party of government in Edinburgh due to its still being in the huff after March and April 1979, provided the basis for the 1997 Scotland Act and the two-question referendum of that year.

    It was always the intention that practical decision-making should be carried out wherever possible at appropriate local levels, allowing communities to apply their own practical solutions to relevant local issues without central government interference.

    It’s not working that way, Canon Wright. Sorry min. Shetland has Sullom Voe. And fash. A bit like Bush’s ‘how did our oil get under those towelheads’ sand?’

    Local authorities have been emasculated through ‘power grabs’ including funding cuts and a sledgehammer approach to centralisation of, for example, the emergency services. One size fits all, mother knows best, and we have coppers on horses ready to break up riots at Aberdeen v St Johnstone matches. Yet, when it comes to the current difficulties, the Education Secretary can, unchallenged by ‘Gary’ on Radio Central Belt, declare repeatedly before U-turn 1, that “local authorities have the statutory duty to deliver education”. Head teachers and their staff are knackered making safe return arrangements before a book has been opened, or a weak kid, ripe for bullying, has had his/her heid shoved down a lavvie. “Judge me on the educational attainment gap”. ����

    To quote Swinney in 2014 (now mis-attributed to someone of the opposing view as a “4 legs good, 2 legs bad” easily remembered by the proles), local commumities are “too wee, too poor, too stupit” to be trusted with resources and to decide what’s best for their local area. Subsidiarity and further devolution beyond Edinburgh is dead. Freedom, eh?
