If you want to hear no other opinions than your own, then indeed listen to the likes of the SNP, where it's only black or white.
I've had to put up with a lot of nasty things by certain memebers here about being addicted to some substance when I have never taken any form of drugs other than for medicinal purposes.
I do not drink alcohol and have never smoked or vaped in my life. You would not have liked my constant health problems. So be grateful if you have no respiratory disease, skin problem or cancer.
There was a time when I liked Scotland, but these days I view it in a different way. Don't you ever change your mind?

For a bit of balance on yet another SNP baaaad story.... she had access to an historic £5000 pa budget for Provost clothing allowance.
This allows elected Provosts who are not rich an ability to dress accordingly whilst representing the City at home and abroad.
For the two year period quoted she was actually £2000 under budget.

I agree that some of the things she bought were totally inappropriate and she should have known better, but I would still support the concept of the clothing budget.
Strange how folk objected when it is an SNP Provost but have kept quiet when many Labour Provosts have probably spent in a similar manner.

Embarrassing that you think you should defend her. It is a total disgrace to benefit in this way from the public purse especially given the amount of children living below the poverty line in Scotland.

Eh...…..did you actually read my post.
I did not defend her, I just explained how the budget system has worked for many years.
I supported the need for the budget.
Especially if it involves the purchase or hire of suitable clothing for the varied functions and tasks a Provost has to undertake. ie white tie dinners and foreign visits.

Whether a budget exists or not is irrelevant, decent morals should be enough to not use it.

Didn't defend her? Oh yes you did!

Are you only upset due to this person being part of a certain political party? There was a previous Labour Lord Provost who did time for house breaking and assault, there was also another who was expelled for "trips for votes" and was nicknamed Lazarus for the amount of times he came back. Politics is a "dirty business".

I have friends with company cars who "may" do some creative figures to cover mileage receipts. I know of Golf Club Captains who used expenses/budget to their full advantage and other who paid for everything out of their own pocket. Morals again depend on the individual and what they think they are entitled to/can get away with.

If the Scots were to leave how much of the £39Bn would they be liable for?😁

They have less than 10% of the population, ergo less than 10%. I suppose you could say the same about the UK's debt, and the value of the UK's assets.

TBH, until it becomes a reality you're just poking a stick at an angry bear. What's the point?

Fun....I even put a winky smile in for the terminally dull.😁

Seems the SNP like most socialists are spending way above their means, big deficit already....
