Malcolm Posted January 5 Posted January 5 John Swinney arranging an additional bank holiday for June 15th so that Scots can enjoy the World Cup? Utter nonsense. Who is paying for this loss of productivity? Cut taxes instead you clown. Quote

I've just seen a troll explode 🤩 Hardly exploding… pointing out the stupidity and anti business stance of the SNP government who think that its sensible to try and bribe the electorate with a wee day off when we are in a productivity crisis. makes me all the more determined to vote against the snp.

Toepoke Posted January 6 Posted January 6 If we can have a bank holiday for a royal jubilee then Scotland reaching the World Cup is fair game IMO. The proposed timing of it is a bit naff though, we're not even playing that day. Quote
DoonTheSlope Posted January 6 Posted January 6 A complete waste of effort. Considering most workplaces run to the English bank holiday calendar this will benefit those in the Scottish government yet it will be used as a look at us method for the upcoming election If it mattered and he had any sense he’d have sought permission for a bank holiday the day after the Brazil game Where’s the bikes they promised last time anyway?

Malcolm Posted January 6 Author Posted January 6 its a nonsense. Every time we get imbecilic decisions like this, the more I think they should shut down Holyrood. Cant be trusted to run a bath never mind a country. Quote

The Scottish parliament doesn't go into recess until the end of June, so this will potentially give people who work there the opportunity to fly out for the weekend of the Haiti game. I guess some people have had a word in Swinney's ear to that effect. Quote

TDYER63 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Just to see the Billy Brits and Tories explode confirms its the best decision Swinney has made since taking over. If they have to die on a hill let it be this one 😆 Quote

I knew a guy who wouldn't vote SNP or for independence because he "heard* Alex Salmond wanted to ban Orange Walks. Didn't think I'd hear a dumber reason. Then along comes Malc to say - Haud my pint.
