..and then he backtracked.

Just like his stance on Brexit - fence sitting and prevarication.

Golden Charter are charlatans - missold a "family trust" to my mother with dementia and (thankfully, in this case) failed to complete the paperwork correctly (as it allowed us to unwind it and be re-imbursed).

So, Blackford graduated from the same school of business ethics as his compatriots Tasmina and Michelle Thomson it would seem.

Were you previously aware of his chairmanship of said organisation, and if not would you now consider taking the news of your experience to a suitable media outlet, or perhaps to your future MP to raise in the House (assuming they are not of the yellow-and-black variety and bd Blackford inexplicably gets re-elected)?
No I wasn't. It might interest them that they sell 'family trusts' as a means of avoiding inheritance tax. A means that, as far as I'm aware, would not help (in my mother's case).

“Not in the first term” becomes “oh well, not right away, maybe if the SNP get a majority in 2021...”

Between the Charles Kennedy incidents, his 'humble crofter' line and hypocrisy over the profits of weapons of war, your information just adds to the evidence that Blackford is a ct.

I was working in London for a few days this week and a few colleagues were asking about this. Their opinion was that the Scots should get another independence referendum because we voted to remain part of the UK within Europe and that's about to change.

Hard to argue with them.
Not really difficult.

That was a known risk when we voted in our once in a lifetime referendum. Just like oil revenues collapsing, Salmond turning out to be a bare faced liar, Trump getting in and taxing hell out of Whisky, etc. We took the risk that we wouldn’t agree with everything that happened whether we were in or out of UK.
Well, that's subjective.
What’s subjective? Are you claiming that the possibility of UK leaving the EU only arose at some time after 18/9/2014?
Course not!
So what’s subjective?

I believe today's policy is "Not in the first 2 years".

At least she can rely on Edinburger's vote and given he didn't even vote for Yes in the Scottish referendum, it just goes to show that she's picking up the "inteligencia" as well as the knuckle draggers rolleyes

Shouldn't be too difficult for any party thats been in power the length of time they have to come up with
a piss poor 50 achievements, 250 might have been reasonable but 50?, ffs, in how many years?

Its a pity they haven't evened it up for fairness and included 50 SNP failures, complete lies, cover ups, ironies,
discrepancies, and party members who have been done and are in the process of being done for crimes including
some of a very serious nature, the plethora of examples would be so fecking huge they would be spoilt for choice.

As a side note have you noticed how the resident nats only come back with single or two word answers,
it speaks volumes though.rofl

What one? I named a few. All of which are totally objective, factual and not remotely up for debate.

Avoid rational debate in all circumstances lest they realise how wrong they are.

That's comedy gold - he's not really an MP though is he? Not just a junior researcher of some kind?
