Wings over Scotland discovers the concept of "targeted advertising"
Considering Stuart Campbell's career before he became a full-time a
hole that is highly ironic.

Mr Campbell, who was born in Stirling but has lived in Bath since 1991, was the most prominent online campaigner for a Yes vote in the independence referendum.

We seem to have omitted Mrs Sturgeon's recent utterance that she'd prefer a different name for the party, i.e. leaving out 'National'.
because in her twisted mind "nationalist" = "racist" except in Scotland.....she's afraid the swathes of socialist voters her party has borrowed from Labour finally figure out that this is the same "nationalist" as they seek to shout-down in every other corner of the globe....

Once a tt, always a tt. Only a matter of time before his greater audience left him more exposed.His hubris in suing his former employers for alleged breach of copyright when it was in fact him conducting intellectual property theft showed that he has a delusional superiority complex and a total lack of self-awareness. Nothing has changed about him since then.
Funny how this thread has changed. As predicted, it's just left with people slagging off everything and anything to do with Scottish independence.
The GERS report was published today. Scottish public spending deficit reduced to £13.3bn which is 8.3% of GDP. Weaker fiscal position than rUK since the oil price changes.
Anyone seen Mr Salmond's show in the Fringe?

t' propaganda piece blaming Westminster (naturally) for the fall in oil revenue. The piece was produced by 'think tank' Business for Scotland (aka Michelle Thomson and her cronies) and referenced non-existant research. Clearly designed to fend-off any criticism over the GERS figures, but no-one took any notice of it.Edited by r11co on Thursday 24th August 07:39
Burger, it's only because those people who were pro Indy, couldn't discuss it in a "civic and joyous" manner and were banned.
Those of us who could see it for what it was, should be getting thanked for helping Scotland dodge the biggest economic bullet I'll likely face in my lifetime.
Our GERS report from when we would have gone it alone is scary reading.
There's being slightly off the mark, and then there is the yesnp predictions, you could sail our nice new aircraft carrier through that gap. The same carrier that our lovely Scot Gov ignored when it was launched to much criticism.
The snp seem to be in a state of decline, shedding MPs, hopefully they will shed msps in a few years and we can hopefully wave this nationalist movement back to the shadows where it belongs.
Grown up politics seems to evade them, it's always someone else's fault.
It also begs the critical question.
Why, when we are £13 billion in debt, are our public services starved of cash and so badly run?
Where is that money going?

Thats not debt, thats the deficit compared to GDP - the debt (if you took a proportional cut of total UK debt) would be pushing on for £100bnI don't believe our public services are starved of cash
I do believe they are badly run

The SNP spent years alienating local authorities (the deliverers of the services) because they (the SNP) were fundamentally crap at management (effectively what national government has to do with local government). They thought that it wouldn't matter that the relationship between Holyrood and local authorities had broken down because they assumed they would sweep the board at the 2017 local elections and replace the incumbents with their own compliant staff, and any other localised service could simply be merged into national ones (police etc).The 'sweeping of the board' didn't happen and the nationalising of services has been a financial disaster as it has drastically increased costs (not least because of the loss of VAT-free status).
They've dug themselves so far into the hole now that it would finish them off electorally to back-track.
