They have of course kept to their plans to make the poor poorer and the rich richer. I see that The Pickled Onion bloke has made swinging cuts on poorer council areas, and very small cuts on richer areas. For all the health budget has been maintained, they are now reporting patients being turned away. Now while I’m all for fertility treatment being cancelled (it’s not exactly important compared with cancer and heaven knows there are kids enough that could do with a good home), I’m not so happy to hear that patients with severe pain are being refused injections that can help. He seems happy to make deals rather than carry out his pledges... and as for the Liberals... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha<br /><br />I’d be surprised if this incompetent lot make it 5 years...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-23697635939328426262010-12-19T16:05:05.560+00:002010-12-19T16:05:05.560+00:00Summed up perfectly DL.

Nothing about Scotland, all about THEM. You can tell how Alex whole demeanour changes as he addresses the other two and of course the members.<br /><br />Tavish and his predecessor have mainly been irrelevant; occasionally making valid points. Annabel has usually made reasonable points except when taking her orders for idiots in England who don’t know what they are talking about. That has led to a couple of faux pas on her part. But she has been Alex’s opposition.<br /><br />Yes she might be matronly, but it’s not a beauty contest and I’d rather have efficiency than beauty any day when it comes to running the country....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-50106258388417986952010-12-19T03:01:36.506+00:002010-12-19T03:01:36.506+00:00DL said..

So the Tories appear to be calling for Stewart to return. Didn’t thay add their tuppence worth to the baying mob that called for him to resign? Mixed messages?

No doubt Elmer Fudd will be calling for Keith to resign when he gets up at the next FMQs. Poor Keith only a week into the job and he couldn’t prevent the snow any more than Stewart Stevenson could. Maybe Alex should appoint Elmer as the next transport minister and see is he has a better hot line to God than the SNP. And then next FMQ he could stand up and demand his own resignation.<br /><br />It seems the plan worked fine in the central belt but Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire were both at a standstill. Unionist politicians are claiming the SNP don’t give the north east the same priority as they do the central belt. Is that the same north east that the unionist like to claim is the home of the SNP mafia? Even more ludicrous considering Alex’s constituency is in the North East.Munguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475165830302054002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-52396695239965301712010-12-17T22:00:32.306+00:002010-12-17T22:00:32.306+00:00Did Annabelle not supply you with some Peroni Dean...Did Annabelle not supply you with some Peroni Dean made by that nice SAB Miller who has some tax avoidance questions to be answered.cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-2244239382126961562010-12-17T20:55:36.246+00:002010-12-17T20:55:36.246+00:00Braveheart makes an important point here.
