I worry about you. You actually believe the guff you post, you, time after time, show a lack of understanding and time after time move the goal posts. Never mind, tick tock.

"you've conveniently forgot, which is surprising as you loved every tragic minute, the fairly recent Covid thingy?" "Tories getting (rightly) slaughtered for sheer incompetence & being out of ideas on policy. You started banging on about Covid" Caught you out yet again by quoting what was actually posted, oh no... Oh I doubt I'll need them, there isn't likely to be enough utterly gullible people like yourself to back the Tories into yet more failure. Beep, beep, beep, reversing

No, i know you can't understand anything beyond your tedious rants but it shows that things aint as bad as you make out.

Your not very good at reading as I never said you refused to answer a fact, I asked you again, WHERE DID I BLAME COVID FOR ALL THE COUNTRIES PROBLEMS. Get the Kleenex out for July 5th, you'll be needing them, and not for your usual pastime.

So good news stories about Scotland - gold star Tories Bad news stories about Scotland - F for the SNP 😂😂

What utter nonsense, what ‘facts’ have you placed that I’ve refused to answer?

None in my lifetime have done a particularly good job, but the last 14 years of the Tories has been the worst. I'm genuinely surprised anyone would try and argue against that point given the evidence of decline. I feel it’s just a reality that devolved governments are fighting those battles with one arm tied behind their backs though. (Scotland & Wales)

Just read that Obika has decided to retire from professional football. 20 goals in 77 appearances, more than decent in a team that were mostly struggling. And THAT goal against Hearts probably saved us from relegation in the Covid season, OBIKA Our best wishes to our former striker Jon Obika who has today announced his retirement from playing. Jon scored 20 goals in 77 appearances at Saints including a vital win over Hearts in the curtailed 2019/20 season. All the best from everyone at St Mirren, Jon!

You better tell the Scottish public, they seem to be able to find money for most things. #costoflivingcrises #scaremongering The 2023/24 SPFL season saw: • Highest year-on-year attendances in the SPFL era • 25 SPFL clubs post year-on-year attendance rises • Championship attendances grown by more than 50 per cent year-on-year.

Blazing saddles on bbc4 at 10pm tonight, brilliant stuff.

Correct sir.

Sheesh, your some boy at running away when the facts are placed in front of you and for the umpteenth time fail to answer the question. Roll on July, your tears will be almost be tsunami proportions.

Lots of Road to Hampden threads have been posted on General St Mirren Discussion over many years. Simply because we have been involved in every one of the various competitions. We are involved in the Scottish League Cup 2024/25 . We start our journey on the road later than some.

Some potential banana skins there I’d say for Aberdeen, United and County.

I have contributed only to criticise the inclusion in a Saints forum. As I said. It is, ATM, other football. Because I don't think it should be in this forum it doesn't mean I can't post my opinion of this.

Many people are but the average consumer price to wages ratio is usually better than when a government took office. That is not to say that everyone is better off. This government has overseen wage to price ratios worsen considerably and it is about to get even worse. No matter who takes power.

Some great groups. Could potentially see some top flight clubs pumped out in the group stages. We will enter as a seeded team in the knockout phases. Would love another opportunity to win this cup. The win in 2013 was sublime.

Admittedly this decision would have been put forward by some financial “intelligent” civil servants. https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/1046585/gordon-brown-s-gold-sale-spectre-still-haunting-after-25-years-1046585.html#:~:text=So%2C between 1999 and 2002,ounce%2C generating US%243.5 billion. “Gordon Brown's political career probably won’t be defined by his decision to start selling the UK’s gold stocks between 1999 and 2002, but 25 years on the badge as the man who called the bottom of the market is not going away. For those who have forgotten or weren’t around, the then Chancellor decided that as gold had no intrinsic value the UK could use the money better elsewhere. So, between 1999 and 2002. the Treasury sold 400 tonnes (12.8 million ounces) from the UK’s reserves at prices estimated to be between US$285 and US$300 an ounce, generating US$3.5 billion. At the time it raised eyebrows, but it must have appeared a seemingly sensible move given that the gold price had gone nowhere for decades. History (and hindsight) though are cruel mistresses and gold has since risen 1,000% to currently sit at around US$2,350 an ounce and make 12.8 million ounces worth about US$30 billion. Hal Cook, senior investment analyst at wealth platform Hargreaves Lansdown has done the maths: “After allowing for currency movements between the dollar and the pound, the UK has missed out on a return of 980% in sterling terms on the gold that was sold. “With Consumer Price Inflation (CPI) of only 85% over that time, that’s a lot of missed gains, even in real (after inflation) terms.” Cook adds that not only has gold soared in value, it has comfortably outperformed other potential investments. “The MSCI All Countries World Index is up just under 500%, the FTSE 100 210% and the MSCI USA index 670%.” https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/gold-news/2019/may/07/worst-deal-uk-history-20-years-brown-sold-britains-gold/

So during periods of high unemployment, for example, many people aren't worse of financially and that doesn't cause governments to fall??

No. At least not financially. That's a very simplistic way of looking at things. Generally speaking we are normally better off money wise. Even through the Thatcher years financially we were better off. It's the waste of revenue and reduction in services that normally dictates a change.

Really?? Isn't that why they normally get voted out🤷‍♂️

The difference is that, in most cases, the government DON'T leave us worse off than when they got into power.

👍👍👍👍
