Rates rage

My intolerance of any form of animal cruelty is high and I found this difficult to read. I thought outside the Gaza Strip nothing could get much worse but seeing this happen in Scotland (or England) is beyond my comprehension.

The only thing I can say is that you really have to wonder how these pathetic apologies for human beings relate to and interact with their own species...

No excuse for this behaviour. Hopefully the NFU will deal with this.

Utter scumbags – would happily give up my time to repeatedly punch these morons in the head.

I hope they all spend a long time in the jail!

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting cruel creatures who are capable of much more. Can’t print what I think should happen to them.

ian mackay Retailers have warned that department stores in city centres are being put at risk as they bear the brunt of a £16m increase in their annual business rates bills next year

The solution to raised rates in city centres and businesses folding as a result is tax outlying businesses and online businesses more to ‘encourage’ city centre business. If you are looking for formula for fiscal madness this lot seems to have cornered the market.

Crazy, this will ensure more shops closing down than at present. Local towns are full of empty shops up for sale or rent and more charity shops than I care to count. Shoppers resort to even more online shopping.
