Scottish Independence Referendum 2

[Joe pike]

Just a quick list off the top of my head how incompetent this SNP government are.

1/Had to pay Alec Salmond £550,000 becaUse they had acted illegally

2/ Edinburgh sick kids hospital,years late and unusable-only 200 million.

3/Ferries - Another 150 million -still not usable.

4/Bifab investment -40 million squandered.

5/ Prestwick airport -40 million squandered

6/45 million loans written off

7/ScotTish Parliament vastly over budget.

8/ Police and ambulance nationalisation.No emergency services are run from Aberdeen now.

9/ Education ruined

10/Scottish National investment bank.

 

Anybody have any positive policies they have carried out?

Bit early in the day for a spot of

However off the top of my head, free prescriptions and eye tests for all has made a huge difference as has the 600 hours of funded early learning and childcare a year.

The SNP have a report commissioned by them that states they don't know how they'd be able to afford current pension levels. Free prescriptions are welcomed but were free for those that couldn't afford them anyway. In the grand scheme of things they've played at being politicians, minimum alcohol pricing, smoke ban in boozers, nanny state politics. The big things like education have been a mess.

Spot on.They want to control everything.

Yousaf's hate bill would knock out 90 % of the posters on here.

What about that child guardian for every family they were forced to abandon as well.

One question 

If staying in the UK is so good and the SNP are so bad why do you think the majority of voters keep voting for them?

 

Anyway a Sturgeon and a Salmond trumps a Pike

Its only a matter of time before Healthcare is centralised. Well in name anyway. We’ve been doing work for Orkney and Shetland for a good while now.

Really nailing the big issues there...

(Notice there is nothing about education improving, the positive impact their nationalisation of the emergency services has had. Also, no mention of  the negative impact that free uni education, or the limiting of spaces in courses - such as medicine - has had in terms of unis actively seeking to bring foreign students in at the expense of Scottish ones).

There is the fact that Scotland has the highest drugs deaths in Europe, shows the SNP's approach to drugs is not working.

Worse than that, despite making it a key focus of the SNP, the poverty gap in Scotland has widened of late.

Like all governments, some success stories but they also have their problems and failures as well.

Don't you think the fact that a key part of the strategy they want to implement (consumption rooms) is being blocked out of hand by the UK Government (despite a House of Commons committee recommending trials of them), has a bit of a bearing on that? 

[maryhilldon]

I blame minimum alcohol pricing,  made smack a more affordable alternative.

Ive always thought the gaelic signs on the "Poileas" cars was a fantastic policy.  Not only was it a good use of taxpayers money, but it certainly reassured me about the threadbare case for independence.

Im also currently impressed how the SNP are defying parliament by refusing to hand over legal advice which the parliament voted they must share.  They high regard for democracy and transparency makes me proud to be Scots and - once again - highlights the huge gravitas of Holyrood.

Mainly because they are stupid, frankly.

Not really, there would just be deaths in / around consumption rooms instead. 

They are in charge of policing and education, that should be ample to make solid headway against drugs deaths. 

But, its just too hard for them and so they give us "we were going to copy someone else's  idea, but the bad English wont let us".  Pathetic.

Aye very true- and the hate crime bill will doubtless go the same way as the named person scheme.  (but not before we have all paid through the nose for them to try to defend their rubbish in the courts).

Then you cover it up then deny it.

Fuck knows what "being Christian" means but you kafflicks and your cruelty to children (including the nuns in the care homes etc.) is a pretty inhumane "religion" to me.

Your opulence in your show house in Rome from the stolen ill-gotten gains looks just the same as every other construct that passes itself off as a "religion", totally corrupt and founded on lies. 

One of your better posts RS

Saw an interview a few weeks ago and some poor soul had lost 7 of their family but 1 child was saved.

She said it's a miracle by God.

What about the 7 who die DIed?

Religion can get to fuck, cause of so many wars and killing folk. If you want to believe in a god ot some sorts fair enough but nae need to be killing folk over it.

A lot of drug related deaths aren't purely down to 'shooting up'. Fake Valium has accounted for a percentage of drug related deaths over the last couple of years. 
 

Also,  by allowing users to bring their own, they are allowing it to be continued to be dealt by the 'scheme dealers', with no control on quality. Quality and mix has a massive impact.

Indeed. I guess I'm just trying to point out that the Scottish Government can only play around the edges.

Dundee is to blame. Highest drug deaths per capita in Europe. It's their mentality, fuck all to do with government policy. They dig goth culture, The Smiths and they don't mind dying. Moobs was wanting Trump to nuke Scotland. These cunts have taken nihilism to beyond the pale.

@manboobs109

The best way I've heard it described, by a junkie, is slow suicide. They know they are killing themselves and don't care. 

As DD1903 says most of the 'drug deaths' aren't from smack. It's various different opiates, real and fake, taken as tablets. Legalising drugs, giving them fix rooms, increasing detox facilities will have minimal effect, you need to give people something to live for.
