Doakes Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Met her once in Paisley town centre before a game, right outside the banky, she held a St Mirren scarf for a photo always seemed alright tbf Think she has allowed herself to be dragged into the "woke" debates a bit much in recent years Should always reserve the right to say "I appreciate the question, but today we're talking about ferries/roads etc" rather than getting dragged into debates that only impact on a minority Can't say that I'm overly upset, no closer to independence and some fresh ideas and a new perspective might be a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, don't forget the recent ferry embarrassment. That's just off the top of my head, can't be arsed searching about for any more disasters. For balance let's even that up slightly by giving you MoD "Ajax" contract, £5bn spent and not one of the 589 vehicles promised to be delivered by 2017 has yet appeared, Crossrail £3bn overspend, HS2 now looking like doubling in cost and let's not even begin with the Covid procurement scandals. Reality is that Government Procurement is shite in both Holyrood and Westminster, Brussels too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, when you let civil servants dictate what happens with infrastructure & large capital projects they will usually ( not always, there are a few exceptions) end up over budget, over time & very often - not fit for the purpose it was intended for. The Scottish ferries debacle would be laughable if it weren’t so serious but it’s not the first ( under all parties )and won’t be the last . Westinster has spunked money away at an eye watering rate for decades .All parties have a track record of disasters as long as your arm but the Tories have taken us to new depths of waste, overspend and corruption costing taxpayers billions as they line their pals pockets. Brussels / EU / European / Global collaborations are no stranger to a f**k up either , but remember, much of what they do is dictated by their member countries so the blame usually goes back to whichever countries were involved in the venture. Normally they all want different things at different prices and different spec but think that doing it under a European or Global umbrella will magically make it better. It doesn’t. compromise , cost restraints and ongoing changes to requirement normally means the end user doesn’t what they want - they get what civil servants think is best …..or cheapest 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beyond our ken Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 Humza declares his candidacy. As a pro-independent thinking person and strong supporter of the SNP I can happily say that I will not vote for them if he wins and for as long as he may be leader. A car-crash as in his health job, he also harassed a family I know and used his influence to try and hurt them massively. An odious man who does not deserve to represent Scotland. I'd even take the wee free, but would prefer Ash Regan. it's a shame the timing would prevent John Nicolson from getting a holyrood seat and coming forward.
