800 million coming our way.....guid auld Tories.��

Conservative thinking is actually quite widespread in Scotland. It does not translate into votes but perhaps more people will see now is not the time to strike out on our own. EU seems to be having problems so trying to sell a change of allegiance from being part of Britain to part of the EU seems a difficult call. Just imagine what kind of bribe the SNP could have got from David Cameron or Theresa May if they had been able to support their Conservative governments.

The view of Conservatism in Scotland is intrinsically tied into the idea of self serving upper class English pricks like Johnson and Handoncock who command, deserve and get no respect from your typical Scotsman who is generally very intolerant of the type of extreme snobbery these people demonstrate. Maggie using Scotland as an experiment for her universally loathed poll tax is also something that sticks in the craw of many - just showed us, as a nation, total contempt.

It was Scottish Conservatives who wanted to adopt the Community Charge system. Lord Younger was the driving force. They were warned by Nigel Lawson that it would not work. He was right and Thatcher was wrong to allow the experiment to go ahead.

Social Conservatism is the biz.....I noticed the rainbow flags flying on the bridge today......flown more than the Jack in Scotland now.

Bringing the big Jack out of retirement for away games when I get back, compliment the Mr Hitchens flag very well.😁

The important thing is that this £800 million will spent on what it is intended to be spent on.
The SNP MSPs are up in arms because they wanted the £800 million allocated through the Barnet Consequentials which means that the £800 million is not ‘ring fenced’ and it can be spent on any of Nicola’s per projects.
It has been reported that almost a year ago the Scottish Government received £97,149,000 from the U.K. Government to be spent replacing illegal cladding on properties throughout Scotland.
To date the Scottish Government have not spent a penny of this £97.149 Million.
No doubt the pro independence MSPs will be hoping to divert some of these unspent funds to support their demands for a second ‘once in a generation’ independence referendum.

Do you actually know why the Community Charge was introduced into Scotland before the rest of the U.K..

Sorry but it was not the reason why the Community Charge (correct name) was introduced.
I am looking forward to Deeranged’s explanation why it was introduced.
