Yes.

I hope he's withdrawn for a good scrub followed by appointments with a barber and decent tailor. Always looks like he has spent the night upside down in a hedge.

I never thought I'd be pleased to find out Derek Mackay was in charge of anything but long may he reign as SNP election campaign director.

Shame Pete Wishart hung on.
Aye, Scotland's angriest man.

True. Looks like there'll be 319 Tory's plus 10 DUP - so 329.
Opposition will have 321 less 7 Sinn Fein less speaker = 313.
329 v 313 is just about workable.
Shows what a difference the 12 Tory gains in Scotland has made to this election.

Sounds braw...

Whyte lost the Ticketus case and is personally liable for £18m. Doubt he's paid that somehow.
I'm sure I read that Whyte's lawyers have had to pay that (or possibly their PI insurers, dunno) - don't think Ticketus have been left out of pocket - just very red faced.

Board is not what it was as it's now run seemingly as a pro-independence propaganda outlet. There's about 6 people with about a million posts each who seem to live on it, and set the tone. I'm practically the only anti-SNP voice on here, and that can't possibly reflect the views of the TA as a whole - I reckon there's plenty who have drifted away. I get some choice responses to my very occasional posts, and I genuinely don't care, but I can see how it would put others, who might have a worthwhile contribution to make, off. Raise the level of etiquette a bit, and don't just tell people to GTF just for saying something that goes against the majority opinion. At the moment it's not so much a forum, more of an echo chamber.
True. Still good to pop by for a laugh though.

I guess he is saying you are not as socially responsible as most scottish folk
I'm not socially responsible because I haven't visited someone in hospital, crossed a toll-free bridge, had a free prescription or visited my local A&E (I have no idea where it is - could by the Vicky but I think the A&E there was closed - possibly Hairmyres...)?

Please elaborate...
I know losing your job would have a serious financial impact on you, same as everyone else i presume.
Tell be how the SNP would have taken your job away.....
The only Jobs the SNP have taken away are mainly Labour MPS...
so please explain your point...
I work for a large financial services company - the vast majority of our customers are based in England - our office in Glasgow would have closed (for a variety of reasons, but regulatory divergence being the main one).

Just evidence that the SNP are doing a better job than Westminster. And then we could move on to the prison service where prison wardens openly admit that the prison service in England and Wales (no mention of Scotland) is on the verge of implosion. Whether they benefit you or not is not the point here. The point is it is two areas where a party you claim are no good are out-performing Westminster. I'd also like to know what do you think Tory and Labour MP's elected in Scotland do for Scotland? It is common knowledge they act in Westminster's interests first and Scotland's second - quite the reverse from an SNP elected MP.
Anyone can cherry-pick certain areas. Sturgeon said education would be her number one priority - new literacy statistics show that only 49% of S2 now performing well in writing.

I am presuming Regenmann lives in Scotland and has done all of his life. Therefore, life for him under an SNP government cannot be so bad as he is still here. If these are too many assumptions perhaps Regenmann can refute them.
I'm a bit old for upping sticks just because there's a party in power that I despise - if I can see out a few more years in my current job (a job I would have lost had the SNP had their way in 2014, which would have had a serious long-term financial impact for me) I'll have to give serious consideration to spending my retirement elsewhere.

An NHS (I may add) that is performing better in Scotland than the rest of the UK. Okay still a mess but less bad all the same.
Whoopee-doo.

I can completely guarantee that at some point - and if you're in your fifties, no matter how fit and healthy you are, it'll be sooner rather than later - then you'll need to use the NHS.
Charming
I didn't realise the NHS was an SNP creation. I would only go anywhere near the NHS as a last resort.

Really ?
You never visited anyone in Hospital ? No
You ever crossed a toll bridge in your car ? No
What about your council tax ? Has that went up every year ? No, and I disagree strongly with that. An inflationary increase each year would have been fine.
Never had an illness that you needed a prescription for ? No.
What about your local A&E still being open ? Never visited an A&E in my puff (and I'm in my fifties).

My father would be spinning in his grave, but a lot of things the tories have done have benefited me. My wife is forever pointing this out when I say they are bastards.
I'm struggling to think of anything beneficial that a political party has done for me, which is fine, as long as they don't do anything to my detriment.

I thought it was excellent and a bit of a zinger from the wee yin
I wonder how many Scots go about using derogatory names for Theresa May ?
Just another self loathing Scot attribute i guess
To think what she and the SNP have done for all our lives the last 10 years and all she gets is twats rubbishing her at every opportunity.
Sometimes i wish she and the SNP just chucked it and left Scotland to the Tories or another Unionist party.
Let them run Scotland making sure they keep it just shitty enough so that we all believe the Union is needed - like they have done in the last 50 years
We really are a bunch of ungrateful thick cvnts
Connolly was right - We do deserve everything we get
The SNP has done absolutely zero for me.

Here's the full text of the Sunday Herald investigation that Toepoke posted earlier
Brilliant response from Labour
However, the Lodge’s intervention sparked concerns from SNP and Green members. Scottish Green leader Patrick Harvie said: “Most people will view the Orange Lodge as an unpleasant organisation with a sectarian past."
Although Harvie is quite happy to prop up an organisation with a sectarian past - from Andrew Dewar Gibb in the 30s through to Billy Wolfe in the 80s.

Do you not make use of the dental check ups and eye tests? If not, why not? This might sound a bit dramatic but they could help to prevent you from developing serious illnesses and possible even save your life. Dentists don't just check your teeth they can also spot the early signs of mouth cancer which kills many people very year. Your eye test can pick up early signs of a number of serious illnesses (eg diabetes). Picking these things up at an early stage can not only help you live a longer and healthier life, but can also save the NHS a lot of money in the long run.
Sometimes you need to look at the bigger picture.
To avoid being a hypocrite I've gone private for my Hampsteads. Honestly can't remember the last time I had my eyes tested - opticians are just interested in trying to flog you goggles whether you need them or not.

NHS in worse state than Scotland.
Prison service on verge of implosion in England and Wales (not Scotland).
Council Tax rising year on year.
Paying for Prescriptions.
Paying Tuition Fees.
And lots more. So much for Fandabidoze Tory rule and that is before we even get started on a rabid bint and Hard Brexit.
As for support for independence crumbling? Tosh. And I hate to break it to yoons everywhere. The younger generation are the future of Scotland and they are 70% pro-independence - that tells you the direction the support for independence is going. And May's leadership is just going to drive more people that way as well.
I have been paying roughly the same (East Ren) for as long as I can remember now, which simply isn't right - Council Tax I don't mind paying as it funds vital local services - my income tax on the other hand is being frittered away on tuition fees, prescriptions, dental check-ups, eye tests... for people that can afford to pay for these things themselves - it's like me walking into the Busby Hotel this evening and standing drinks for everyone.

Aw diddums, the poor wee public sector souls need to move office. Employers moving location happens all the time and it’s not exactly to the other end of the country.
