"Mr Matheson's criticism of the council tax freeze is rank hypocrisy, given that he was elected on a commitment to a five-year council tax freeze - a freeze which has been fully funded by the Scottish government through additional revenues every single year."

To me, that article seems to be more about Labour and SNP arguing with each other rather than a proper discussion about electricity generation. IMO as soon as that happens you can pretty much ignore any numbers they start spouting. You just know they will be manipulated to suit their own agenda. Sounds like Greatrex wants to build a new nuclear power plant. Can't see the SNP ever agreeing to that. He also seems to be saying that if Scotland becomes independent electricity will stoop flowing across the border. Maybe he thinks that we wont be able to use volts in Scotland because all the volts belong to England?

Me neither.

Hmmmm..........A Toby that looks like a fud? Interesting.

To be honest, I'm not too bothered about the SNP policy on corporation tax as I think it's fairly irrelevant.

Whit's a NPC?

FFS min, that's half the fun.

Aye, that was very sneaky of them.

I have nae idea what that means, and no, I'm not going to Google it to find out. We were watching a film with subtitles (aye, it was Swedish). She says "I can't keep up with these subtitles, they are too fast for me, can you turn up the volume a bit?" Which would have been even better if I hadn't got as far as pressing the button on the remote before realising what she had said.

My other half says that about me.

We had a physics teacher who would throw blackboard dusters at kids who answered questions wrong. Not just cloth dusters, these were those ones with big lumps of wood attached. The kids who were clever enough to know the answers or fast enough to dodge the dusters turned out better than the ones who got the dusters between the eyes (not sure why?). Evolution in action.

Are you sure she is the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with?

That's nothing to worry aboot. A lot of the times I try to click on "my content" my fat fingers give me "manage friends" instead, which wouldn't be too bad, but it just leads to a blank page constantly reminding me that I don't have any friends. Have you changed to low energy bulbs? If not, why not? Has the 15 years in food retail made you massively overweight? Stop eating so much. Happy to be of help.

I think you like to join in too sometimes? No?

Aye? So you just dislike their policies? Like the policy on corporation tax?

This is the problem with statistics, folk just distort them to suit their own agenda.

Did he hate the SNP too?

See whit you can do if you put your mind to it? All that constant moaning like fuk on here has finally got though to the people that matter. Think how much more you could do if you joined the Party.

Kids are so molly coddled these days, it's no wonder the younger generation can't stand up for themselves. This is what happens when you take the option of corporal punishment away from teachers.

Sounds even better

Bit close to the knuckle with that one, Mario?

Och, that's just being Tobyist. If you said "He is a Tory, he will be a khunt" then that would have been OK.

That's a cracker.Think I might use that one.

Was there not another similar stooshie about abolishing the student grant? Murphy (as president of the NUS) voted in favour of abolishing the student grant even though the NUS had voted against abolishing it at their conference. It was a long time ago, so might be a bit muddled?

I don't understand why no journalist asks him "Would it be OK to get free education for 9 years, even if the student didn't graduate at the end of it." Maybe next time he is on Off the Ball, Tam Cowan could ask him?
