Decision needed

At least here is some evidence of worst case scenario planning. Now can we see the worst case scenario planning documents for independen­ce? No? Is that because the SNP are incompeten­t and haven’t done any worst case scenario planning or the documents from that planning show independen­ce is a worse risk than Brexit?

More scaremonge­ring b.ll. cks. So the council has plans for Brexit, they probably have plans for nuclear armageddon as well.

Carry on as usual. There will be no noticeable changes to daily life and in two weeks after Brexit, everyone will be asking what all the fuss was about.

Scotrail couldn’t get much worse, but blaming it on possible congestion on the M2 to the Channel Ports is taking the biscuit.

There’s always those iconic world class direct connection­s to Europe from Scotland to rely on! So what did that court case over prorogatio­n actually achieve? As I said at the time there would be sod all as if they would not make a decision in three years, why would an extra four days make any difference. And so it has proved. As someone who voted Remain I am disgusted with the lot of them. I refuse to class myself as a “Remainer”.

It looks like the game players have shot themselves in the foot. No deal beckons, it’s time they realised this is a deal between the UK and the EU, not just some whim of Westminste­r. We got a deal and Westminste­r played silly games, we got another deal and Westminste­r is playing games again. What reason have they given the EU to think that another extension is valid?

All of this nonsense is beginning to infect society. I’m encounteri­ng numerous peoIt’s a very crude instrument to raise tax for councils … This of course hits the poorly paid who have enough money to get to work by car but not much more, those deprived by the same councils and SNP of public transport especialll­y in rural communitie­s, and the disabled who are in employment but must perforce

My daughter is on minimum wage, struggles to run a flat, run a car and feed herself, but she does it. You want to tax her more irrespecti­ve of her income and if she can afford it. Introducin­g this in Edinburgh would be the thin end of the wedge to roll it out nationally.

We already had the best bus service in LRT. the trams were an expensive indulgence. Workers can’t afford to spend two hours getting to work via public transport but the SNP supported by the tree huggers don’t care.
