Thart'll be the morally corrupt scumbag Cllr Colin Keir MSP would it? Well well. Haven't heard for the bar steward since he was elected msp, but now there's an election looming he's crawled out from under his stone.

But just to demonstrate how thick this basterd is:-

As of 15 February, the three main contractors appointed to deliver the project have advised Transport Scotland that around £23 million of subcontracts have already been awarded to Scottish companies and around £13 million of supply orders.

This is a teardrop in the total contract that is worth £1.3 BILLION. Let me say that again for the hard of thinking Nasties. The contract is worth £1.3 BILLION.

If you guys are gonna try to score points, at least make them credible.

Of course, what's revealing is what these plicks don't say. Like the steel contract going to China and Germany.

We've got a scottish government bleating about green emissions targets, way in advance of anything any other nation is committing to, while we're exporting our pollution to China, who will produce the steel for our bridge, spewing the sulphur from coal fired power plants to make it.

This is hypocrisy.

They get the steel contract and we get ...

... a couple of pandas.

The band of brigands in Holyrood should be strung up for selling us all down the river. And you bozos want us to trust our future to them?

It's like them ramming us and we drop our drawers so they can ram us more easily again.

Before they achieved power there was some mystery about the Nasties. Now they've got power that mystery has gone. We now all know they truly are nasty.

The very same.
I see your opinion hasn't changed

Since his very name makes you see RED, I'll repeat the important bits without it.










Now which bit don't you get? The contracts had to go out to tender and international tenders could not be ignored., a fact which has been conveniently ignored by Labour.
It's pure hypocrisy, since labour brought in the rules governing these contracts and they are well aware of EU procurement law.
As for the subcontracts, they likewise go to the cheapest bidder. No shock if they were outbid by foreign labour.
They couldn't have done it any different if they were in power.

Are they or you saying that the Scottish government should have just ignored EU law and labour's own procurement rules?

Which shows how little you really know Dougie. Independence will cost us more. Just through loss of economies of scale alone.

But if you know better than me, the do something you've singularly failed to do so far. Explain to us how faux-independence is gonna stop us from suffering the savage cuts?



I can't wait for this .....

yes Gusmac, we klnow how and when the rules were established. But two things:-

First, these rules exist to be circumvented.

Second, It's not the fact that the contracts were awarded abroad that is thee real issue, it's that the bozo creep Keir is seeking to take credit for such a paltry amount coming back to our economy, and the fact that he obviously thinks we're gonna be duped by his meanderings. That's the quality of the man, that's the total disdain and lack of respect he has for us, else he wouldn't dare to come out with such a pethetic statement.

And that's the quality of out-of-control politician we'd be stuck with under faux-independence.

Sorry Jasbar, I don't see Keir taking credit for anything.
Just someone pointing out the sheer hypocrisy of the accusations being peddled around by labour. A labour party desperate for anything to attack with.

And if these rules are made to be circumvented, why weren't they circumvented by the MOD or Glasgow council?

Whatever you think of Keir, don't let it cloud your judgement.

Dougie, you're missing the point here.

I don't care whether you think Scotland could stand alone as a country under present conditions. It's what would happen in the future that is important. A small country in the large European Pool would be slaughtered, and economically is the least important. We would have no say whatsoever in the way our wee nation is shaped. These decisions would be taken by faceless unelected buraucrats in Brussels. And they would be taken to protect the engine room of the EU, France and Germany, certainly not little old us.

Even you must be aware of the considerable democratic deficit in the European Union. We've fought two world wars, lost millions of our young men and women to avoid descending into that mire, and you want us to vote willingly for it. Are you completely insane.

What we have in the Union is not the best. But we have a chance to make it better, because at least we pretend to have some degree of accounability, and if we could mobilise our countrymen to get off their butts and exercise their rights, then we would have a chance to make it better.

Faux-independence would render this impossible. We'd be under the yoke of the Europe we've long resisted.

As for the so called economist spouting his shecht in your piece, I have no truck with so-called experts. I'm minded of the so-called experts who told us during the burgeoning years there was no demand for taxis, yet other so-called experts managed to find a demand for 30 cabs in the midst of the worst recession we've ever known.

What really concerns me though Dougie, is that you spout your support for faux-independence yet, like your denial of worker's their rights, you don't have an original thought in your head, rather you simply recycle the shecht you think supports your narrow, self-interested views.

Grow up Dougie. FFS. You're a crashing bore.

We would have more say than we have at the moment.



We are already, in fact we are under 2 yokes.



And you accuse us of letting sentiment rule our heads

Jasbar im posting facts concerning the case for independence but your argument for the union centres around handing over power to Europe instead of the union, its my belief if we join the EU and only after another referendum the political power we will have based on the amount of energy we could produce, Scotland will have an equal standing and not only within the EU but potentialy worldwide, i base that statement on the presumption that if Scotland's power could be connected within Europe to the African Solar Programme, the two combined could produce all of the Worlds energy needs, at the moment Scotland can produce 25% of all Europes energy needs but trust me the technology is not that far away to connect to the biggest renewable energy programme known to man, i believe what i hear and read as the writers and talkers are world renowned in their feilds, you on the other hand as an advocate of using the European Human rights act to de-restrict the taxi trade have a problem with Scotland going down the European road once independence has been won, a bit hypocritical me thinks, Jasbar your not in the debate you only spout pash and time and again, your not interested in reading the facts and figures, you don't seem to grasp that all the unionist political parties have no argument to defend the union other than the romantic argument, where as us Nationalist's have in your words all the tools of the trade.

Keep trying though

A bit rich to accuse others of using 'romantic' arguments, Reggie?

In fact I think calling your argument romantic would be being charitable

I bet your English, if he or she could be bothered to read this tripe, wished that you'd kept "trying" as you put it.

Anyway what you're saying is airy fairy.

Even if we could produce 25% of Europe's energy requirements, do you honestly believe the other nations would allow us to? You really believe that Dougie?

In any case, if we really could do it under the yoke of Brussels, then there's no reason we couldn't do it from our position in the union.

Now get my position right Dougie. I'm not saying that independence may not be the best way forward for Scotland.

But what's on the table is NOT independence. It's simply a transfer of power from one power base to anothe one.

Think of it like a tenant being allowed to change his landlord.

Nothing more, nothing less.

He would still be a tenant, but the new landlord would be able to rewrite his tenancy agreement.

I see no difference with faux-independence.

How the feck could we do it from within the British union, the Mc Crone report, you have read it The British government would syphon the revenue in one way or another, the only way is to control the wealth as an independent Nation and invest that money in education, job creation/training etc and a better way of life for all to benefit from, even you in your old age will benefit or are you fliting south
