Yeah, Scots are so unhealthy. They all die young and they have smelly armpits and bad breath.

Have I done that right?

Well, yes and no. It's generally accepted custom to present an opinion or interpretation of fact, then back this up with some evidence. I've grown not to expect this from you.

Did you notice that you called two people wrong on this page who then provided evidence to the contrary?

Thanks for your input, simoid. Condescending as ever.

Im sorry you feel I'm being condescending. Just trying to help you out by providing some interpretation of fact with supporting evidence.

Isn't he like that on every page he contribute to?

Well, yes! It's quite rich moaning about the perceived tone of a post when you yourself are mistakenly and explicitly questioning the accuracy of others' contributions.

Discusting..... A so called comedt rap mocking ruth davidsons sexuality

The second comment says it all.

Ashley Marie Sneddon Stuff like this only encourages comparison to the rise of the Nazis in Germany, where they also had political 'cabarets' mocking the 'dykes and fruits' they later rounded up for being 'genetically inferior'.
What can I say? Disgusting.


Not the first time either http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/18/scottis...

WTAF did I just watch?

Personally I'm not particularly offended by the content (although as both Dugdale and Davidson and both gay... nah, obviously because Tory innit). I am massively embarrassed that these s seek to represent me. I knew there was good reason I keep well clear of arts 'workshops' and the like. What a pile of utter wk.

There can't be any worse sound than Glaswegian's 'rapping'.

I think Ruth is a strong enough person to brush this nonsense off, probably with a cutting quip that exposes the ignorance of the perpetrators, so I'm not too hung up on the 'offence' thing, but had the tables been turned you could have been damn-sure that the SNats would be frothing at the mouth and Salmond would be on every medium he could find claiming it was another trigger for a referendum.

SNP supporters and Nationalists in general live in a parallel universe where their cause is righteous, as are they, and they can do no wrong even if their actions are identical to their opposition.

Good to see the interests of the nation she claims to serve are at the top of her priority list...

Oh, no, wait, it's just confirmation that the wee nyaff still can't see the wood for the trees. Proves they couldn't give a rat's ass about how the hell would the country actually operate.

What an utter, utter ste.

True, but I think they're too busy at the moment, readying spurious Barnet formula related excuses to vote down Theresa May's Grammar School legislation, when it gets published.

Even though it's not affecting Scotland, they won't be letting that get in the way of another opportunity to show their gratitude of being allowed to have a Scottish Parliament and to demonstrate the friendly cooperation that exists between the SNP and Westminster.

[skyrover]

So it's finally boiled down to imbecilic racism and ill founded nationalism?

Took them long enough to admit it

[FN2TypeR]

There has never been any need to come out and say it - everybody already knows.

As for the grammar school thing, it just goes to show that an English Parliament for English laws is needed - sure fire vote winner at a general election.

[Leithen]

It's always interesting to encounter first hand examples of how badly your politicians serve you.

We have planning consultants working for us at the moment on a project and their latest update boils my piss.

Apparently the Local Development Plan Proposed Plan publication (due at the end of the year) will now be delayed until next summer due to resource constraints within the Scottish Government dealing with the strategic development plan.... Given that these consultants work across Scotland with a number if not all the local authorities, they tell me that this appears to be an endemic problem across Scotland.



So how much resource are they spunking on their latest Independence "planning", whilst leaving the country to go to rack and ruin?

And then we find that in another part of the business (farming), they are still so far behind sorting out the support payment system from last year that they are having to put in place a new loan system to keep the industry afloat whilst they try and figure out how much everyone is due....

fking incompetents.

Thr comedy rap is another wonderful sign of the new civic nationalism that we hear about.

This is the caring, and loving face of it.

You are just getting the wrong message from it, so it's your fault.
Or something.

Refreshing to see Burger on top form as usual for getting it so far off the mark.

I hope this is being funded by the SNP and not the taxpayer.

They must have realised NS was starting to make herself look a tit, so they wheeled out the other tit instead.

[Ridgemont]

You do end up wondering about some of the nats:

Reaction editor Iain Martin castigates the SNP homophobia comedy routine and in retaliation multiple reports are made on twitter leading to it marking the article as 'harmful' and blocking it.

It appears that a certain set within the Nats are a completely irony free zone.

I hope it's being printed on a roll and not as a book , might be more useful.

What a fking, utter, absolute, stting waste of time. Until the consequences of Brexit are clearer this is a completely pointless and wasteful exercise.

The last one proved to be a work of fiction. This one starts on the premise that none of it means anything.

Once again the SNP play the same old records in the hope their core support will keep dancing to the tune. By all accounts it seems to be failing...

One of Our Sundays is Missing.

Oh dear, what a shame.

Genuine question - how do you measure mental health?

Usually the measure for mental health is based on the DSM V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) which has diagnostic and classification tools/questionnaires for most mental health conditions.

http://www.dsm5.org/

The Scots and the the Scottish NHS were particularly innovative around mental health treatment, partly as they came up with the novel approach of sharing knowledge between trusts about what worked and didn't work.

I guess the issue the SNP have is that their sole reason for being is to keep going for Indy refs until they get the answer they want.

But if that's what they are constantly spending their time on then they are simply not governing it is a one policy party :- which I guess is fair enough, sadly plenty of Scots voted for the SNP purely for the "work" they were doing to govern the country and not interested in the Indy part of what they stand for.

It's pretty tiring now really droning on and on. Given powers yet they fundamentally refuse to use them? Why? They want the levers to drive the economy - and take the benefits that it can yield but are so st scared to implement anything as they know if it doesn't work then it's a massive problem for them.
They can only but increase taxes which is a massive problem. Cutting spending is possible - but Scottish councils have not had any cuts relative to the RUK so it has such a massive way to decrease spend and then up council tax to the public it's now unpalatable.
Raise taxes - on who? Low earners? No. Very high earners? Well how much would it really yield even it my it went to 50%? Not that much I'd wager. So it needs tax increases for the 20% and 40% workers. Or reduce the starting point of the 20% or decrease the starting point of he 40% but it needs to be big changes.
