The results speak for themselves and corroborate the long-term slide in standards of education. Swinney has obviously been diverted onto other activities connected with independence which transcends all.
Ingin Johnnie And cue the usual shower with their “in the good old days” and “the state of Scottish education” tripe. Having two kids getting their results today I’m happy to counteract that with the fact that they and their friends worked hard and did well and are a credit to the country.
Dunnomuch The SNP message to the aspirational. Come to Scotland and pay more income tax. Pay more LBTT. Pay higher council tax because the SNP think you are “rich” enough to afford it. How’s that for an invitation?

How many English people live in Scotland? You think they moved here to pay lower taxes? Of the number I have spoken to, none ever mentioned taxation.
Andrew Mac
The other side of the coin is all the Scots living in the rest of the UK who enjoy paying lower taxes and not being governed by the SNP.
Interested Reader Why would any right minded English person come to Scotland to be abused by the English haters who swan about with painted faces and flags?

I’d love to see the look on Sturgeon’s face if a million English Tory voters took her up on her offer!

Boris Johnson obviously would rather have been anywhere else than in Sturgeon’s company, but he behaved in a courteous, respectful manner. If he ushered her into the building, he was displaying good manners, ladies first. Sturgeon is only interested in independence and the LGBT community, these are what she maintains are progressive politics. Past time that she resigned.
Anne Mackie Nicola Sturgeon has a frosty relationship with... every UK Prime Minister. It is in her make-up. She just hates the UK and what is sad is that a lot of people have been conned into the same mentality.
Proud Scot in UK Come to Scotland and vote NO if there is ever another indyref.

Remember that Theresa May and now Boris Johnson will speak to her only at a time of their choosing. If Nicola Sturgeon wants to pass her own message to the Prime Minister she will be told to do it through the Scottish Office.

Which Scotland is Nicola inviting people to, the one with or without UK funding?
Calum Mackenzie Didn’t this fail already where the Scottish Advocate labelled Westminster as sovereign?
Calum Mackenzie MPS voted to hold a referendum in which the people would decide whether they wanted to leave the EU. 498 MPS voted to trigger Article 50 to give the EU their two year’s notice of our departure. Three times those MPS used a power they didn’t have when they set the ball rolling, to reject the only withdrawal agreement the EU says it will countenance. It is those poor losers who seek to overturn all that who are undemocratic, unlawful and unconstitutional.
