Father. Dislike nationalism. Borders are man-made lines on a map. Ayr Utd., Chelsea, sport, musicals, gigs, flying, politics and good comedies keep me amused.
@Ram1884_@AScot94175440@curlowurly General elections do not appoint PMs. Holyrood elections do not appoint FMs. Both elections see members elected. Those members determine who is to be PM and FM.
@JohnSwinney Why are swimming pools, diving facilities, bowling greens and indoor bowling stadiums being closed? Activities for all ages. Suggests the opposite of what you say you're trying to achieve.
@Gillian_Mackay1@Ross_Greer If you're too stupid to realise that a majority in parliament only gets a mandate to handle matters within the competence of that legislature then you are not fit to sit therein.
@HumzaYousaf Abuse, or ridicule or criticism. Everyone has the right not to be abused. No person or ideology has the right to be exempt from ridicule and criticism.
@mritgreenock@kevverage@InvernessTop Well look it up if you're interested. You're not comparing like with like. The UK Parliament has competence in such matters. The devolved administration does not.
@indyrc1@NashvilleTele@CalumLancastle Yes, a majority is a mandate for matters within the competence of the legislature. The SNP have a mandate on matters within the competence of the devolved administration.
