So was I in part, the first part, the second part again I was being sarcastic in the former and not in the later which was a genuine complement



Question is who gets the parrot or should we share it

On R4 8:10am segment today.

Very woolly from SNP - basically they are awaiting the outcome of he negotiations for BREXIT.

Quite. Having wound the media up to speculate that Nippy is on the verge of announcing a second referendum (notwithstanding that she has neither the mandate not the legal powers to do so, is bound by a prior agreement saying she won't, and would have to put a proposal for one before the Scottish Parliament before she could even consider asking for the s.30 order), the SNP will now 'pull back' from something they never had the right to push forward for in the first place.

Every time we approach an SNP conference we will have to put up with the same charade -'will she?' 'won't she?', but the correct question that is never posed 'can she?'

I'm sick to the back teeth of the media pandering to her. She's a charlatan. Call her out on every claim, finishing off with a photograph of her signature on the Edinburgh Agreement.

quite!

Also her signature reminded me of this classic:

"Unmasked", should have kept the mask on...

What on earth does he use to shave, a dessert spoon?

Still, yet another example of the SNP feeling any action that serves their purposes is entirely justified.

Oil - Not just a bonus then...

I kinda feel sorry for the guy - he's been tasked with coming up with an economic case for something that doesn't really have an economic case.

[r11co]

SNP's economic case 'should not include oil'

When I heard Andrew Wilson speaking on Radio Scotland I immediately thought that all he was doing was creating some wriggle room for Sturgeon to back away from the indyref call all the sheep are waiting for her to make at the up-coming conference.

The excuse will be that economic conditions do not favour independence at this time, with some caveat that it is Tories/Westminster/Brexit's fault for good measure.

If only they'd had someone on the top team who used to be an Oil Economist.
Someone who knew what he was talking about instead of just plucking figures out of his arse.

It was always a crazy claim due to the fact Scotland was in serious deficit. By that very fact it was a fundamental part of funding the states spending.

Why the pro YeSNP couldn't get that is bewildering.

Btw just came across this again:

"A spokeswoman for the Scottish government said: "The Scottish government agree with Shell that the real risk facing the oil and gas sector is the proposed in-out referendum on EU membership, which risks taking Scotland out of Europe with all the consequences for jobs, investment and prosperity that would entail."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-pol...

Absolute recognition from the SNP that we knew there was an EU referendum when we voted to remain in the U.K.

From that article:

An SNP spokesperson said “The North Sea industry will be an important one for years to come, but the biggest threat to Scotland’s prosperity, jobs and livelihoods comes from a Tory hard Brexit, which threatens to take us off an economic cliff edge.”

Err no, the biggest threat to Scotland's prosperity, jobs and livelihoods is the Neverendum combined with a decade of SNP fking everything up.

Funny - the 'threat' to Scotland's prosperity of leaving Europe didn't seem to bother the SNP when they were campaigning for independence and were told in no uncertain terms that a break from the UK would automatically take them out of the European union.

Sadly rather too many of your compatriots keep voting them in (or not enough vote elsewhere). While ever they have a majority, you can guarantee too much time, money and effort will be spent on the topic.

Thing is, they are now saying oil revenue should not be counted. Oil revenue is currently negative because of the various tax incentives so it should be counted. Not counting it makes it a deficit they are ignoring.

They simply don't care, it's independence at ANY cost.

The SNP won't stop until this country is ruined economically, and the sooner the idiots wash their face paint off and actually look at their own governments record and future path the sooner the country will be better off.

Yes2? More like Greece2

I'll hold my breath.
