They all go on about oil revenue and how it will make us rich.

When I tell them that oil production leads to global warming and should be scaled down they lose the plot and call me a Tory and have even been called  non Scottish.  Retarded

And I get the same when I ask any of the Greens why they support an independent Scotland that would be reliant on fossil fuels  how is that a echo stance ffs and given its OOR oil can I sell my share

The greens need to oil their bike chains to be fair.

Relying on a dying industry to lift your economy out of a pandemic. Laughable economics.

Be selling fucking hula hoops and horse shoes next.

I blame 15 years of poor educational standards (they don't even know how our democracy works) and nationalist brainwashing.

 

Wee peado Pat wants to stop taking anymore oil from the North Sea .

 

I wonder how much the government actually gets per barrel anyway ,The oil companies ain’t taking it out the sea bed for free .

Right on the money, this. From an unexpected source.

Brian Wilson, Celtic director....

IT may be unfashionable to point out but football can create really joyous occasions. Take last Saturday’s FA Cup Final at Wembley with 21,500 people in the stadium, an intimation that normality is again conceivable.

There was an emotional quality to the singing of Abide With Me, dedicated to victims of the pandemic. “When other helpers fail and comforts flee; Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me”. Old words with special meaning as people came together after so long, in this way.

Then there was the game itself, turning on two acts of beauty – the goal from Youri Tielemans which won it and the save from Kasper Schmeichel that thwarted Chelsea. So Leicester, one of our cities hardest hit by the pandemic, had its morale lifted to the heavens.

The occasion was possible through a balanced approach to risk. Putting 21,500 people into Wembley’s open air must carry a scintilla of risk. But keeping them out and playing this special game behind closed doors would surely have done far more harm than good.

In Scotland, such thinking is taboo. Even before the latest Glasgow shutdown, there were to be just 600 supporters inside Hampden for the Scottish Cup Final. Now the vast terraces will be empty. To what good effect or elimination of risk, I wonder?

Last Friday I was in Glasgow Airport, a place of eerie silence these days but suddenly raucous sound announced the arrival of a flight from Belfast which disgorged a platoon of Rangers tops, clearly here for a party. I should make clear the colour of tops is irrelevant to the thrust of my argument.

If anyone had doubts, this confirmed that the following day’s celebrations were going to be a big event attracting supporters from far and near. Given that entry to Ibrox stadium was precluded, the logic pointed to a big event somewhere else – ie the streets, bridges and squares of Glasgow. Who had decided that this was a good – or at least, less bad – idea?

It seemed basic common sense – which would have applied equally regardless of which club had something to celebrate – that the thousands congregating in Glasgow should be allowed to do so in their preferred environment, their own stadium. The choice was not between whether or not people would congregate; only where.

I have still to hear any rational explanation of why it was thought preferable for this to happen in the aforementioned streets, bridges and squares where, as soon transpired, absolutely no rules would apply, than within the confines of a stadium where they all wanted to be and within which some degree of regulation would have been possible.

Then, while I was waiting for my flight, a friend in the hospitality industry phoned in despair to tell me about the latest disaster – the decision not to move Glasgow down to level 2. At this point, the contrast between what everyone knew was going to happen the following day and the latest extension of Glasgow’s lockdown moved from being merely irrational to grotesque.

I have never quite understood why it is forbidden to have a glass of wine with a meal within permitted hours. However, the idea this would continue to be banned in Glasgow on public health grounds while the same politicians and experts had put exclusion from a football stadium before all the blatantly obvious risks inherent in the alternative now appeared incomprehensible and irresponsible.

Yet who does one turn to for an explanation? Who can the beleaguered hospitality industry ask for the right of appeal, based on reason? In what respect is the public health advice in England different to that in Scotland? There are so many questions and after more than a year of this, so few detailed, satisfactory answers.

The decision makers hide behind the mantra that anyone who challenges their edicts is less interested than themselves in public health or protecting the community. That has never been true and should have been called out long before now. The longer this goes on, the more urgent the need for scrutiny.

Keeping Glasgow closed is a blunt instrument which fails to recognise vast differences within its boundaries. Concentrating on postcode areas seems more sensible than relying on boundaries which were drawn in the 1990s for entirely different reasons – primarily to keep more prosperous areas out of Glasgow.

The idea that people are not going to travel from Glasgow for a meal in Bearsden or Kilmacolm does not accord with reality. So the major impact of this blanket ban within the confines of the city is not to limit the spread of the virus but to put another nail in the coffins of good, responsible businesses that are struggling to survive.

If the politicians believe their own rhetoric, why did they not act last Friday to limit the public health damage from the Rangers party? Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf could have made a recording of his pious strictures to be released around 6pm. and then taken the rest of Saturday off. What did he expect in George Square? Community singing of Abide with Me?

Ditto the First Minister who should surely have seen the need for containment within her own constituency? The lesson is that while it is easy to ban things it is within your authority to ban, a greater talent is required for seeing a bigger picture – and that is what they made a complete mess of last weekend.

In Ayr we just got landed with our first snp msp and what a fuckin horror she is,won the seat by just over 100 votes.
Before the election this scabby bitch had a spread in the DR stating her 3 opponents were around 70 with pensions and a comfortable life style,and the bastard has refused to withdraw her crass comments on the older generation.
Heard her speaking on the news the day after and you can bet this scabby shite will line it's own pockets.
Was speaking to a mate yesterday and she has filled kids heads with shite that England are terrified of independence because they get their water from scotland.
How the fuck can you reason with that mindset.
Decided a few years back when i'm in their company i have to tell them.....
"culloden was our best nights shooting for the butchers apron" 
really gets the bastards shifting from cheek to cheek.

As angry as I was at them all lining up to have a pop at us, I’m not absolutely loving it. Don’t get me wrong I still think the club should go on the attack and take legal action against everyone who slandered our players and fans (although I won’t hold my breath on that one) but the sheer desperation just shows how much pain they are in.

We’ve absolutely destroyed the bastards, they are hurting more than ever and are lashing out. Fuck them, from the scummy fans all the way up to the government, hope we keep rubbing it in for many months and then next season humiliate them all over again!

We knew it would be a meltdown when we won 55 but I don't think anyone could have seen just how big it would be. 

MPs embarrassing themselves by referencing a tiktok video made by wullie wanker 🤣

Then denying us the chance to have fans in the stadium but then moaning that we didn't do enough. 

They are hurting big time and it's only going to get worse for them the more success we have.
