I must strongly add that we definitely have the wrong govt/political party in place and that really concerns me as well. You've alluded to it - contrary to the verbal shit that they utter, these people embrace the needs of their own class/type of people who support them in different ways and it's not a collective stance and never will be!! I'd say that's one of the reasons why I favour Scottish Indy although I must emphasise I've never held a strong affiliation to the SNP. However a lotta stuff that Nicola Sturgeon has said re Brexit is wise, pragmatic and to the point 'from the off'. She's not perfect but she's far superior to some of the shameless shit heids who riddle British politics! As for 'picking holes' in Scot govt policies and failed ventures? These are austere times and have been for quite a while!!!!! Money is tight and the public purse has been restricted for years!!! Do remember we didn't even get Devomax after 2014 after all the reassuring shit/promises uttered by shameless allied Unionist politicians!! Hence annual expenditure was always gonna be juggled about - governance of the country is difficult under said circumstances - with respect, do appreciate that fact please! Also our oil revenue was always just a bonus and represented about 12% of GDP! Managing our country was key to it being a successful venture and that included who we trade with, stimulating inward investment, setting our tax regime oroperly (one example question - How many reasonably well off to rich pensioners are there in the UK, let alone Scotland, and why are governments politically frightened to glean money from this group of people while others in the country are struggling????). Also tax avoidance anyone??? Why do the Tories not recover those billions of quid???? You and I know exactly why that is the case! Disgraceful politics! This is just a 'small flavour' of how to run our country for all our people, not for certain people within our small population, and it's all linked to an economic strategy called 'the spread of collective wealth'!!
