The £600k was getting some coverage on Radio Scotland this morning, in line with the SNP's new Treasurer.
However, the soundbites were rather revealing. We had Sturgeon (in what I think was a historical recording) saying that "every pound received has been spent on the fight for independence." So, I guess that's the line. The £600k may well have been spent, but it's been spent on "the fight" so that's good enough. Forget about ring-fencing.
Anyway, the football's tomorrow night, so I'm looking forward to the education report slipping out...

I notice a stoney silence from SNP re the hated “Westminster government”, getting US tariffs for Malt Whisky and Cashmere removed.
Few mumbles of “ it’s only for 5 years”, from the distillers but that’s it.
if you believe that was down to Boris 'Hopeless as Hancock' Johnson you are out of your tiny.Few mumbles of “ it’s only for 5 years”, from the distillers but that’s it.
p.s. 2 - 0 Scotland tonight. No patriots on here?
See this guy doing the rounds on social media - drunk as a skunk and roaming around central London. Very fortunate not to have caused serious injury to himself or others.

Well it certainly wasn’t down to the Scottish government.

Loads of tartan army types down for the game, quite disruptive in family tourist areas over the last two days such as Sth bank & Cov garden.
I would be surprised at such tolerance if English fans went to scotland en masse?
First sentence of the BBC Shortbread article on this:I would be surprised at such tolerance if English fans went to scotland en masse?
BBC said:
Thousands of Scotland fans have been enjoying an "amazing atmosphere" in London ahead of the team's game against England later.
The jolly little scamps.That wasn't the official line of the BBC, nor Chief Mammy, on the Rangers supporters doing similar.
Well, colour me surprised...
It would seem that the SNP *aren't* going to sneak the education report out while the football's playing tonight.
It looks like it will arrive on Monday: https://www.oecd.org/unitedkingdom/scotland-s-curr...
