She's had six years since that was taken. It's a lot worse now.
Apparently it's Westmins.... err, I mean Glasgow City Council's fault.It will be interesting to see who or what gets the blame for it when Labour finally get the bum's rush from GCC and it is still a s
tehole a year later.Brexit probably.
Always a good fall back.

It will be them tbh, but she's the MSP and the fking 'first minister'. Either the office of first minister holds no sway with GCC, or she hasn't even asked them to sort it. Doesn't look great either way. But GHill sure as hell looks worse.
And yet people seriously suggest a woman who can't get some bins emptied is the right one to negotiate Indy/Brexit/whatever and get the right deal? The one who can't persuade local Labour councillors to sort a midden?

I think it will be a combination of, brexit (being forced out against our will), Thatcher (despite being dead) those bloody Tories, unionists, the English, wastemonster for stealing Scotland's oil money and whisky export tax and spending it on HS2,London's sewers and trident (bairns not bombs).Everyone knows Scotland supports the whole UK (why else would anyone want to maintain the union other than to steal our wealth?). Scotland would be the wealthiest country in the known universe if it wasn't for the union.

The conservatives haven't run GCC since the mid-seventies, so it's definitely not their fault.Have I missed anything?
You forgot to mention red Tories and paedo lords, Alpacaman.

Since when has that stopped the SNP trying to blame them. Despite running Scotland for 10 years no problem is down to anything they have done. Unless it's something that's gone right, at which time it is entirely because of their policies, even when they had nothing to do with it.

As I mentioned earlier this is a game changer and will happen really quickly
No, it really wont. AI is my original field and I have first hand experience with Watson. IBM have been punting Watson for about 20 years and there is a large series of projects big on ambition and when the revised final spec is implemented it is a wet blanket that is doing nothing beyond some straightforward data mining. This is simply the automation of very straightforward and repetitive processes. Nothing that IT hasn't been doing for 50yrs - the "AI" angle is marketing bull.As I mentioned earlier this is a game changer and will happen really quickly

"Respect the settled will of the Scottish people" features in most of the answers.

Not so much back-peddling as being backed into a corner and being forced to admit that they have set the bar so high in terms of demands that the proposal is bound to fail thus engineering the trigger for another referendum as intended, hence the grudging concession.I heard the interview on BBC Scotland live this morning and it was for once good to hear Sturgeon being pressed properly on what she had previously said. She tied herself in knots attempting to reply in such a way that didn't sound like it was her wanting to have her cake and eat it.
The trouble for Sturgeon though is that this is all about gerrymandering the conditions for indyref 2, with still no attention paid to the key questions that scuppered the SNP's argument the last time, only with more complications added in terms of falling oil revenue, increasing debt and an unknown settlement for Scottish membership of the EU if that is the reason people were to be persuaded to vote for independence.
Sturgeon, like Salmond before her, grasping for independence but with no concept of the bigger picture.
