But they have to be paid for. Trident is one source of money, but how about our esteemed MSPs taking a pay cut and showing some solidarity?<br /><br />Some of the problems with immigration boils down to infrastructure. Lack of housing, additional pressure on NHS, schools etc. I can't stand Farage and UKIP - they are old style Tories. But there has to be controls. Why not a points system? You still allow for genuine asylum seekers. There is this misguided (in my opinion) belief that Scots want to open the floodgates to one and all.<br /><br />I voted for the SNP and Yes. But I don't agree with their policies on immigration. <br /><br />As for Salmond, I think he was over-confident and crossed the line into arrogance. Now's he 's lost the plot and heading for Westminster. Should have retired quietly. His presence is going to cause problems down the line. He did a sterling job dragging the SNP from self destruction and getting them into Government. But his time is done.<br /><br />But Nicola leads the party - not him. The SNP is a party, but to me it appears to be turning into a cult.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-33792494211203362992015-04-03T22:29:06.127+01:002015-04-03T22:29:06.127+01:00Well, these are matters of opinion.
Nicola pointe...Well, these are matters of opinion.<br /><br />Nicola pointed out the benefits of immigration. And we need to look at the demographics. We have an awful olt of old people to be kept for a very long time, and not so many young people. Whilst the Uk has to manage immigration sensibly, we most assuredly need it.<br /><br />Alternatively an awful lot of families are going to have to have more children and get them educated.<br /><br />And as for benefits we need to make sure that people are helped off them when they can be, but we hear over and over again that the government's aim is to make work pay.<br /><br />The trouble is that they do this by reducing benefits... and it doesn't work, because they have to pay benefits to the workers. If they paid a living wage surely the benefits bill would fall dramatically.<br /><br />We aren't so much supporting shirkers, more we are paying benefits so that companies can get away with paying unlivable wages.<br /><br />UK benefits are amongst the worst in Europe.<br /><br />But there's no point in arguing about this. Some people simply don't believe in decent benefits and some do. <br /><br />I guess it depends on how you feel about the poorer people in society.<br /><br />It seems to me that if people are ill, a decent society would make sure that they were looked after.<br /><br />We don't!<br /><br />Nicola appeals to people that Salmond doesn't, but I never underestimate Salmond. I're heard him speak many times and I've seen him (as recently as last Sunday, bring a room to its feet...men, women, young, old, Scots and non Scots, cheering and shouting for him.<br /><br />Nicola likewise.<br /><br />We're blessed to have so many talented people.<br /><br />It's a matter of opinion, but Farage repulses me and his party even more so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-16104675492326932192015-04-03T22:16:33.140+01:002015-04-03T22:16:33.140+01:00Ah... there you have me.

The only sensible thing Farage said all night was that none of the other parties has an answer on immigration. Bennet sounded like a robot and Clegg, Milliband and Cameron were predictable. Wood stuck to her guns but her party will have zero influence at Westminster.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-76241550884307086732015-04-03T17:47:05.345+01:002015-04-03T17:47:05.345+01:00You know I do not know how many times Scots on com...You know I do not know how many times Scots on comments pages said to them to stop whining and get up and start a party which suited them. I think perhaps seeing the likes of Nicola, Leanne and Natalie, they might start thinking they need to get themselves sorted out. Farage and Ukip may have some sort of appeal to the likes of the seriously right wing Tories but hardly suitable if you have any intelligence.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930463301985234273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-51355270682499378052015-04-03T17:43:31.115+01:002015-04-03T17:43:31.115+01:00Nearly done, just the odds and ends to pack you kn...Nearly done, just the odds and ends to pack you know the bits you cannot do until the last.
