Proud to be Scottish. Proud to be British

@GBRChris_A @ZiaYusufUK What's your point? Yes, of course we have home grown offenders. Always have done and doubtless always will. What we should not be doing is importing countless thousands more, who offend at a far higher rate. Only the seriously hard of thinking wouldn't understand that.

Another day, another SNP embarrassment to Scotland. More grievance mongering, doubtless to deflect from the latest flood of SNP failures. Anything to keep dangerously dysfunctional health boards, NHS waiting times, waste, ineptitude and incompetence off the front pages. And of course McPravda is happy to oblige.

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

@theSNP Possibly something to do with the significantly higher % of public service employees in Scotland compared to England? Also other businesses subsidised by the public purse? EG does it perhaps explain how the £2 bus fare in Scotland costs taxpayers double what it does in England?

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

@AgentP22 Perhaps @JohnSwinney can also tell us how much all the 'free' stuff is costing hard working Scots too?

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

@Malcolm_Offord Just demonstrating why he should be nowhere near public office, regardless of nationality. The paucity of talent in @ScotParl makes the place unfit for purpose. The recent intake is the worst ever and it was already a very low bar. It's become a national embarrassment.

@JohnSwinney No, you are assaulting our democratic rights. We have a democratic right not be governed by people who are foreign citizens and may be working for hostile agencies. Once again demonstrating that after 27 years in the Holyrood bubble, you're now detached from ordinary Scots.

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

@Fyrishsunset There's no way Swinney was going to accuse anyone of bullying in front of Gilruth. She'd have battered him!

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

The SNP loves the SNP. @theSNP @JohnSwinney have long since given up any pretence that they act in the best interests of Scotland or its people. Swinney was again today boasting about his 'win' at the June election, despite losing over 400k votes, having the support of just 20% of the Scots electorate, while 60% of voters chose to vote for pro-union parties. That would make most leaders, genuine leaders, pause, stake stock and reflect. Not Swinney. He's completely detached from reality.

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

@HolyroodDaily And today's contribution to the ever expanding list of reasons to close @ScotParl is......

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

@HarveyThomson @JohnSwinney Of course he's lying. His lips are moving. Anything containing any combination of truth, fact, honesty or accuracy from Swinney, is a museum piece. The man is a compulsive liar and spreader of disinformation.

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

@AgentP22 All but 2 of them imposed upon us from a list over which the electorate has no control. The Greens are a walking, talking argument for electoral reform. One person, one vote and proportional representation, which would rightly reduce them to an irrelevant fringe protest party.

Love how Riddoch cherry picks all her favourite bits from 'small independent countries' around the globe and ignores the negatives. Unless she's seriously claiming there are none? Also the reality of where Scotland would be on day one of indy. She paints a picture of milk and honey, when the reality is that a newly independent Scotland would see austerity on stilts, mass emigration, uncertainty over currency and consequently pensions, mortgages, savings etc not to mention jobs in a number of UK dependent sectors, like defence. Time she took the rose tinted specs off and came up with answers to the big questions. Something no-one else has ever done!

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

@HumzaYousaf You trying to say a regime which built such an extensive and complex tunnel system and converted pipes to rocket launchers, couldn't have built a proper drainage system instead? As always, it's all about choices and as always, the Gazans got it wrong. That's not Israel's fault!

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

@Malcolm_Offord It's all he has. Deflection and denial. No substance, no credibility and increasingly no clue, as he becomes ever further detached from reality. 27 years in the Holyrood bubble and zero real world experience does that I guess.

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

@DownWithTheSNP The vast majority of those she is paid to represent, paid to serve, will disagree with her. These people have completely lost sight of what their role is.

[Blues Brother @wavydot]

@ScotNational Thanks. Always good to have a daily reminder how much of an irrelevant waste of space, time and money @ScotParl has become.
If anyone asked 100 Scots the top 50 priorities Holyrood should be focusing on, this performative nonsense wouldn't get a mention.

Scotland has 1,412 elected politicians, at local and national level, plus 133 devolved public bodies. We are ridiculously over-governed and particularly so when we see the paucity of talent amongst the decision makers. It's time our politics were streamlined and priority given to quality over quantity.
