Things Can Only Get Worse for Blackford. Thank God!

Wish someone would buy me a brand new Range Rover, I have a 12 year old Yeti, but she gets me around especially in the Winter. :wink: :grin:

I would buy you one if I had a spare £120K

I had a new Discovery a few years ago - it was great but it used way too much fuel for my liking so I got a Merc estate and then got rid of that and got an old Vector and now I have a Mini

Awww Thanks for the thought. My last car was a Discovery and yes they are fuel guzzlers, I only kept her around a year then got the Yeti, much better on fuel and over £100 cheaper to tax.

Are you an SNP supporter?
Would you like Scotland to leave the UK?

As I’ve said before, personally I’d like Scotland to remain in the UK, both for our benefit and for yours. Yet SNP and their supporters are sure that things would be better for Scotland if it left the UK, though I don’t understand why.

Not exactly a supporter as they do a lot of things I don’t like or agree with. But yes I would like to see Scotland back as an independent Country. HOWEVER, I do not want to be taken back into the EU, in my book it’s swapping one overseeing group for another. But they do also keep their promises, they said they would duel the A9 to Inverness they did, they said they would drop bridge tolls they did, they said they would drop prescription charges they did. Ect ect, so I do trust them more than others.

Well no doubt they do spend more on their people than happens in England, but do you honestly think they’d be able to afford to do that when they lose the Barnet Formula payments from England?

Personally, I think that we in the North of England deserve Barnet Formula payments as we are poorer than the South overall. Then, I suppose that most Southerners haven’t even heard of the North!

There must be a lot we don’t know about, and I really don’t want to get into a discussion about independence as it always descends into a row. I haven’t forgotten how myself and a few others were treated back in 2014. Some of the members were really vicious and vile during the run up to the last one. Those members are still here and I refuse to be treated like that again.
This time around I will not take part in any of it, if Scotland gets independence it gets it, if it doesn’t then it doesn’t and I will accept the result as I did last time. But for the record I do not think it’s the time for another one.

I’d like to say that if the majority of Scots want Scotland to leave the UK, then we should all respect their wishes.
On the other hand, I believe that despite the votes for SNP most Scots want to remain part of the UK. Am I not correct?

At the moment I don’t know, as I said I’m not taking a real interest in it this time. Not reading the news on it ect.
Not been to any meetings or discussed it with anyone.

@Rox , When you say ‘they’ Rox, do you mean the EU, or the SNP ??
If it’s the EU , dont forget that UK gave the EU the money first before they
gave it to you ??
Just saying !!
Donkeyman! :roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

Which of my posts are you meaning? I refer to different groups as they. You’ll need to be a bit more clear.
If you mean this one, then I am saying the SNP have kept their word and given a few examples of it.

@Rox , Yep, that’s the one !
So you were speaking about the SNP then, so you find them trustworthy ?
That’s good , wish we could say the same !!
Donkeyman! :+1::+1:

Not Altogether, as I said they do a lot of things I don’t like but if they say they are going to do something then they do it, As I already said in my earlier post.

The majority of Scots didn’t even vote for the SNP.

How are those ferry contracts going Rox ?

Oh and NHS Scotland, drug abuse, violent crime and eduction ?

Sturgeon comes out with the independence strap-line every time she wants to deflect from the crisis upon crisis she causes and wind up the nationalists.

Latest on Bunter and his desperation to cling on to his job.

He doesn’t care about victims, only himself.

I always thought the Barnet Formula payments were from the UK government.

That is true, but it will cease to be true if Scotland leaves and is therefore no longer part of the UK? :thinking:

Yes that is true Barry but the UK government wants to keep us in the UK.

There is a good reason for that too.

The Scots don’t want independence.
