    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.

    • The answer to this is pretty simple… Declining real time wages making expected living standards harder.    If you take a new nurse or teacher in 2010, there is a measurable expectation of the living standards that sort of job delivers. If you take those same professionals over the life of this Tory government, their wages generally would not have increased in proportion with the cost of their ways of life/ inflation.    In a nutshell, it means nurses & teachers (and lots of other professions) are having to pay more money to maintain a way of living & their wage rises/ salaries don’t keep up with that.    Some will adjust easier than others, for example people with families might find it more difficult. As such, due to government incompetence, austerity & other policies, more and more people are forced below the poverty line & use food banks because they can’t maintain the standard of living they once had.    We have seen a 6000% increase in food bank use over the last 14 years. There is absolutely no doubt that’s massively on the government, not the individuals. Clear common denominators are austerity measures & eroded wages. Surely even you can’t deny that?

    • Average nurses hourly rate in Scotland is over £22  Teachers are between a salary of £38k-£48 Maybe you should ask yourself why ANY of these two professions are using food banks.
