    9. St.Mirren For Sale

      The majority shareholding in the club was up for sale for 7 years! Eventually the shareholding was purchased by Gordon Scott and SMiSA in July 2016 with almost 1300 supporters contributing to the successful bid.

      This forum is now really just an archive of some of the threads that took place in that 7 year period.  ps; Anyone mentions the Argies they get banned.

      I don’t think it’s necessary a bad thing if SNP spend some time behind Labour in Scotland. Both in Westminster & Holyrood.    They’re almost certainly going to be shown up as the austerity  2.0 party after this GE. Anyone that’s been following the pledges can see, the tax freeze commitments of both the blue & red Tories can only come with deep public service cuts.    So either they break their promises & raise taxes or they make life even more grim for people in Scotland & across the UK.    The SNP are almost certainly playing a longer game here. One or two Labour governments and if the UK is still in decline (which it almost certainly will be), no voters will have nowhere left to turn. Hopefully enough will then know what we did a decade ago.

      Not sure about that. Surely impacts on taxation, providing services, NHS performance, for anyone needing or who has family needing social care, and infrastructure?    I would look at it more as an utter shame, that people in your families position would have been made to look as outcasts or looked down on for getting help while the rich get richer. (The only thing pretty consistent throughout recent human history).   Why shouldn’t your mother take the support that’s there when life has dealt her & her family such a difficult hand? (Would be my view)    It’s really disappointing in 2024, while billionaires get richer, every day living gets more expensive & living standards actually decline as technology advances. That people still place blame on the poorest in society because they can’t maintain a decent quality of life with less & less equivalent income & higher and higher, costs of goods and services.    Many people using food banks now, work full time in jobs that in the past would be considered pretty decent. It used to be that families could be supported on single incomes, now many struggle even with both parents working. If some genuinely don’t place any blame on successive governments for that, think they should be ‘ignored’ and its just a matter of looking after one’s self to the best of their ability… well… I guess that explains why people backed parties like the Tories time & time again through the 70s, 80s & 90s as well as the last 14 years.    Finally, I’m sorry but calling charity support for people in a developed country, when incomes & government support have declined so much, while costs have exploded along with taxes ‘enabling’ is extremely ignorant imo.
