^That may be true old boy but Macron didn't bloody deliver on those promises did he?, what he did do though was look after the well heeled muppets as usual and the less well off will not fall for that tactic again.

Edit

This piece by Tony Parsons sums up the current Labour Politicians for me, it's OTT but the underlying message is plain as day, the days of the 1970s Labour voter voting blindly for their Labour councillors and MP's are consigned to history, and so will the Labour movement if they don't change their stance.

TONY PARSONS Labour ditched working class voters…and now they’ve ditched Labour for good

^ True that :yep:

I was a party member for somewhere in the region of 25 years but resigned my membership the day after Steptoe and his loony left rabble took hold of the reigns of power.

I can't vote Tory either because of fundamental differences so I tend to vote Independent and am resigned to the fact my vote doesn't make any difference at all in the overall picture of things.

Some will say there's a grain of truth in that :03:

Here's an idea for you Bozo, 1- fire all the prats who had anything to do with this decision, 2- send all illegal immigrants in England up to Scotland as they clearly like having potential terrorists on their doorstep, 3- don't forget to mix a few thousand terrorists you've allowed back from the middle east into the mix as well.
You might not have the bollocks to do anything like that Bozo but there's quite a few million people in England who does, gizza job. :haha:

Glasgow, Moonlight, Glasgow, not Scotland as a whole.:timeout:

One defining characteristic of Weegie Left-Wingers is their similarity to the French Left - they'll strike and protest about anything at the drop of a hat.

The English Right forever gurns about the Scottish (actually Glaswegian) love affair with the Left but they're merely complaining about the symptoms. They never stop to ask themselves what caused Socialism to be so widely accepted in the Clyde Valley in the first place.:hmmm:

As in Northern Ireland, the root of the problem goes back to at least the 19th Century, if not further, namely how Scotland has been governed by it's ruling and economic elites.

^Yep I know that, but the brain dead down here don't, Nicola says that all refugees are welcome, :o I think when these migrants have got settled in then they'll demand their nearest and dearest plus a couple of dozen hangers on should join them in this generous benefit free for all. :haha:

That is very magnanimous of Nicola but I insist she pays for those migrants out of your taxes instead of taking it from the Barnett formula money. :O:

That makes a change, I can't remember agreeing with Angela Rayner on anything before but on this I do.
Bozo, be a prime minister or **** off and let someone else make the tough decisions. :O:

Actually, my taxes go towards that anyway.:03: Aberdeen City generates more tax revenue than it gets back in local authority funding. We're the worst funded council area in Scotland.:Kaleun_Mad:

Saw that on the BBC news website yesterday - they put Pakistan and Bangladesh on the Red List and then seemingly dither about India for two weeks.:doh: In the meantime there's a stampede back to the UK by people visiting family in India, plus you add in the Eid holiday for Muslims, so there's no wonder that the new virus hotspots are in areas with large South Asian populations like Bolton and the South Side of Glasgow.:nope:

Mike.

... and in the meantime the DUP elect a right fruitcake as their new leader:

Well, Germany has put the UK back on the list of high risk zones and issued a travel warning, due to the Indian variant. :D

Meh!. According to Catfish the EU countries should avoid the UK like the plague anyway so there's nothing new in that news Skybird.
Come to the UK and get this new India virus variant now or wait a few weeks for it to go rampaging around the EU states, your choice.
When we ban you lot for having this new India virus variant you'll just see how stupidly ineffective all these ban measures are, the European Western politicians are as thick as planks. :haha:

The Indian Government are doing themselves no favours here.

Give it time old boy and Nicola will sort you all out for the better, :O: meanwhile, in the land of milk and honey "Tory England" we have someone down here "Bozo Johnson" just as inept as your Nicola is, at least Nicki is a female who would come in handy every now and then whereas our Bozo is only useful if you're a bloody shirt lifter.
What a bleeding choice to pick from, what the **** has happened since Churchill's mob kicked the bucket. :o
