@botzarelli@CasinoCapital Pre CFE you did 8 subjects often 2 or 3 science and 2 or 3 social studies at Standard Grade. In the days of O Grades I did 10 in S4, 2 science, 3 social studies, 2 languages, English, Maths and Arithmetic
@CasinoCapital It’s the so called Curriculum for Excrement, only 5 or 6 subjects in S4 and not all of the kids do exams even then. Private schools offer 8 N5s. Used to be able to do 3 science or 3 social subjects. It’s all dumbing down and to save money
@OurNicQuotes Then how do newspapers get to publish photos of people without permission?. Public interest applies to Nicola Sturgeon and it it didn’t show her with family etc.
@Dr_W_E_Bulmer Why, just break local councils back down into small districts as it was under the regions or the lower tier of Burghs etc as pre 1973 or copy Isle of Man and remove Education and Social Work from Councils ( joint boards)
@RabbiPoupko Ireland was wrong but given you live in the USA what was their record like. How many people/governments knew that the Jews would be killed. Wansee was 4 years after this.
@iain_00 Do you actually know anything about Aberdeenshire Council and its politics or are you just making assumptions. There has only ever been 1 Labour Councillor elected to the Council and she got the last seat in a ward which is basically an overspill from Aberdeen City.
@IndigoFast They don’t have the concept of a metro mayor in either part of Ireland or many other countries. The surrounding councils pre and post Strathclyde Region weren’t over enthusiastic about the PTE so don’t think they will want to surrender any power to a Metro Mayor
