The institute for fiscal studies right wing? Think you have started the Christmas sherry early this year 😅

Prevention is always better than cure. However the days of turning up with trivial ailments is well and truly over. You are triaged before you get to hospital and directed to NHS inform.

Really? The NHS has a productivity problem, more doctors and more nurses than in 2019. It’s a money pit that consumes money at an alarming rate but has worst productivity figures than most comparative European health systems. I am mindful that this is not the politics section and this thread should probably be moved.

Your trip down memory lane is very nostalgic, however I did say current SNP government. The FM thought it would make prudent fiscal sense to freeze the council tax in some sort of populist publicity stunt at a time when local councils are struggling (indeed some may be on the brink of bankruptcy) this freeze will benefit everyone one, however should it benefit everyone? (Bands F,G,H) add onto this a raft of universal benefits and your looking at major cuts in services. I think one of the council run care homes in Paisley is in line to be closed in 2024.

It’s never pointless to ask you might not agree with the views but never pointless.

Comparing apples and pears (no pun intended with Michelle) Mrs Mone case was not a criminal case, still don’t think it is? Morally very dodgy but not criminal. The £600k that went missing involved the highest public servant in the land and her husband and was a criminal case from the start. Do I think the beeb is biased, absolutely, but not with the example you provided PS.

Veracity

Looks very nice. Hope they still have the beer garden.

No not seen it. However season 5 of Fargo is on prime and it’s excellent.

“Checked for veracity” that made me chuckle. You can be the official veracity officer for the general nonsense section of BAWA. I will however have to check your not “non-diverse” or the other posters will rebel in horror. Good luck with your new post 🫡

We are now feeling the full force of poor economic management from the current SNP government.

Your summary of the Guardian is a bit harsh, I know it’s a dog whistle for the loony left but it does still have some integrity.

So honest 😅

Surely this can’t be legal? You can’t treat applicants for a job differently based on their gender and skin colour.

Off with their gas!

Oliver Cromwell didn’t burn it down. Which was unusual for him?

You missing the Labour Party conference? Corbyn is gone and ain’t coming back.

Could be a new revenue stream for the club🤔 Each week the club put out a photo of some maintenance or construction work at the stadium or training ground with a ladder, scaffold, or teleporter and then you have to guess where the unsafe worker is in the photo. An update on spot the ball. £1 a guess with maximum of 5 guesses. Winner gets a black and white hard hat.

I think we should just blow up the whole world so nature can eventually reclaim it. Humans really are a plague on the planet, couldnae agree oan the colour o' shite. Adam couldn’t resist that apple 🍏

Lucky for us that the USA, U.K. and most western governments have known Iran is funding Hamas and are not calling for a ceasefire 👍🏻 free Palestine of Hamas.

No it’s not. Hamas and all the other jihad terrorist groups are all funded by Iran who want Israel and Jews destroyed.

Still pretty decent 👍🏻

I have not watched the video yet for context, so don’t judge me too harshly, however it appears in your text above that you don’t believe 1200 people were murdered on 7/10 ( the use of the word allegedly) ??? I don’t believe the west or Israel is hypocritical in thinking that Hamas are terrorists, as you can see from a section of the very lengthy table below, they have been more than happy to claim responsibility for terrorist attacks in the past and present. As for the argument around civilian deaths, again if Hamas are removed from Gaza the will not be able to use civilians as human shields in the future. I am all for a Free Palestine ……from Hamas.

Can’t be Elvis, Sunday sport said he was on the moon.
