Its pretty sad that he had to put it in the post but just goes to show what thoughts go through his head and I thought that was mostly down to a minority hooligan Scottish football supporters.

It might be second nature for those that experienced first hand but I would put money on it that most didn't have clue nor understand how brutal it can be.
I grew up in Ireland in the 70's but it even went over my head today...

You talking about me? Or DfT (though DfT can well speak for himself). On that you believe that it is mostly limited to a minority of hooligan 'Scottish' football supporters - I wish your belief was indeed the case.

I'm not talking about you just clearing up which side of the fence Doon on and now it's very clear. Not nice to see that sectarianism is a live and well in a golf forum.

Any sectarianism or mentions of or accusations of sectarianism stops now please , NOT A REQUEST!!
Ok lets cut through the squabbling here, without Party Bias, mention of Brexit or independence or Trumpety Trump
What policies would you like to see that would make a difference to people?
How would you fund them?
Just a couple of key ones that you feel are important
Over to you ....

It almost borders on paranoia when some sitting in an orange top engenders a reaction. Some people need to rise above it and let it go.

I made an observation. I was brought up to keep well out of the problem. My parents would not let me support either main Glasgow team because of the problem- so proudly I support St Johnstone - which has always been a great escape when confronted by 'the question'.
And btw it is not sectarian to raise or discuss an aspect of Scottish political life that affects political opinion and how some people vote. It is an aspect that is hopefully dying out - but it is something that nonetheless remains, and that in parts of Scotland will impact the outcome of the coming GE in some constituencies. See for instance Donald Findlay QC.

Anyway...
Taxation - do you believe a Conservative Government will not raise income tax for the period 2017-2022?
Will the fixed term Parliament Act be rescinded?
Should a Tory Government seek a further mandate from the electorate in a Sept 2019 GE if the outcome of the Brexit negotiations is No Deal, and the government finds itself faced with significant hole in it's budget and has to make the case for tax increases to fill the fiscal hole.
All these and many more will most probably remain unanswered.

Unfortunately I after PTF post I think it would be inappropriate to respond.

A/ They may not but they will increase taxation through other means so it is all semantics.
B/ Yes, it is pointless, as has been shown. Another bit of rubbish from DC, perhaps the least memorable PM of the modern era
C/ No. We know now that there may not be a deal. We elect politicians to govern, get on with it. If there is a shortfall in taxation they will fill the gap by hammering one group or another. Nothing new there.
D/ I had no idea what the heck the issue was before but I am assuming it is classed under "local issues that are best left well alone" Following PTF comment I shall remain in blissful ignorance.

On D) just Google David Findlay QC and think of him being Tango'd.

There is a worry in the Scots Tory camp that Ruth Davidsons GE message will confuse some of their elderly voters and they will write 'No' on the voting form instead of the customary X.

wot - you mean like that train of thought that some of the good folks of Feegie Park voted for the wrong man - as there were Tory and Independent candidates with the same name - the Tory being John McIntyre; the Independent being John G McIntyre
But I don't believe that could actually be the case...then again - Feegie Park - Tory???
