Park it in and get on with delivering the ferries. The need has not gone away. Our ability as Scots to rake over past mistakes whilst ignoring successes is certainly world leading. Upwards and onwards or we will certainly underachieve. I'm not a Scottis Government basher but it was one helluva mistake, and very avoidable. I know why they thought they needed to do what they did but they should have made sure there was a real guarantee with penalty clauses.

Despite having the dosh and being a big Rangers Fan he resisted all attempts to get him involved at Ibrox as far as I know.As I said…no fool and was, at least for a time, close to those at the top of Scottish Politics. Incorrect, "he couldn't get it on his terms" would be far more accurate.....what he was doing at Ferguson's wasn't all that different to the sharks that were taking Rangers apart.

Actually, we are in agreement. He couldn’t get his terms at Ibrox so demurred. He could at Ferguson so he went ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two and a half times the original quote. PS I should add I'm still astounded the the PM, and every half wit that attended these parties during lockdown should lose their jobs. That's only fair as ALL politicians should be held accountable for their actions. Back in March this was my opinion, still is, no excuses, nowhere to hide, binned, every last one of them.

At a time that democracy is under the cosh in Ukraine it surely is time to show the rule of law ,common decency and fair play that we do not allow politicians to get away with lying and cheating.

ALBIONSAINT Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 I think if he doesn’t go (which he doesn’t look like doing voluntarily) and his MPs don’t vote for him to leave, then it’s pretty much the end of democracy in this country as we know it. Remember he is the first prime minister ever to be charged and given a fine. It makes you wonder what else he has been up to but denied.

stlucifer Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Not the first lie he's told. We are currently looking for the 350,000,000 a week for the NHS. Perhaps he used this to pay the tory fines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledfan Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 It's not a coincidence that they announce the fines and a draconian policy to send refugees to Rwanda when it's Easter break and non of the big hitters or political shows are about. Everything is calculated and taking the piss out of us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlucifer Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I hope the Civil servants in the home office walk out and refuse to work with the bullying racist that is Priti Patel. .Does this even make financial sense? Britain has promised Rwanda an initial £120m as part of an “economic transformation and integration fund”, but the UK will be paying for operational costs too. A set amount of funding will be allocated for each migrant, expected to cost between £20,000 and £30,000 a person for the flight to Rwanda, and the first three months of accommodation there.
