Failing that, we can get the young to work treadmills powering dynamos.

The Victorians got there first they just didn't know what to do with the power.

Crime does pay.

Your lecy bill.

So the SNP are going to build shed loads of new power stations to achieve this. Can't see the Greens being too happy if they are all nuclea. Can you design, fight public inquiries, go to court umpteen times and build new power stations in 15 years?

I did note the subtle dig that it would be achieved before the English.

What about all those people visiting the north with their petrol cars and the freight going up north or going down south.

Deep thought has gone into this policy.
 
How are people in the farthest island reaches of Scotia going to charge their cars up?

Not just that if you need to travel around the UK in general, can you imagine how painful travel will be seeing as we're slow in implementing transport infrastructure changes

They're making it sound like we'll have charging stations everywhere, and massive increase in the electricity grid as something that will definitely happen in that timescale, we won't even have all electrified train lines by then around the UK
 
I see Salmond has completed his transformation from MP to stand up comedian.

Alex Salmond signals indyref2 could be after 2021 Scottish election

At the dinner, Mr Salmond said: “We have 18 months of Brexit negotiations and after that perhaps a three-year period of transition to get our ducks in a row. We have to offer something which is doable, feasible and speedily deliverable for the European connections of an independent Scotland.”

I doubt if the SNP will have that many ducks left to form row after the 2021 elections.

Shame EFTA and the EU have already told him what the deal would be, and that would likely be one that most Scots could not stomach.

Oh, loved this bit

But a statement released by the SNP’s Michael Russell at the graduation ceremony of the Scottish Association for Marine Science saw the Brexit minister restrict himself to calling for single market and customs union membership. He said: “The majority of young people voted to remain in the EU. Young people must insist that the chance of a better future is not lost and that therefore the mitigation of the effects of Brexit must be at the heart of policy emanating from Downing Street. The Scottish Government continues to argue that membership of the single market and the customs union is the best compromise.”

So only the "youth" count in the wonderful world of Scottish Nationalism now, the rest of you can GFY.

Guess that means it should be easy to turn a few more votes away from the Socialist Numpty Party
 
Looks like things are still going swimmingly for Police Scotland. Will this clusterfrak ever end?

Scotland's chief constable steps aside over fresh bullying allegation

Standing down with immediate effect gives credence to the allegations, and brings questions over why he was appointed in the first case as other "incidents" will have happened in the past. This could get messy for PS, etc.

The shambles and financial mess rolls on (the top job is a posioned chalice thanks to the SNP's quest for control)......

I do wonder however if this will be the excuse the Scottish Government need to appoint a Chief from a non Police background, maybe they've already someone in mind - or am I being cynical.

It should be remembered though that the creation of one force has reduced the amount of senior posts which, being the Police, will lead to a horrendous amount of back stabbing and one upmanship in the upper echelons - I do wonder how much this has to do with it.

Ultimately if you take that job you will be seen off by both the SNP (more cuts to the budget and nothing to cut - but one force is successful and saves money doesn't it... or so we're told) and the command team round about you all looking for the next promotion.

Is it bullying or just being hard on colleagues who aren't up to the job.
It seems these days that bullying is slung in alongside racism as a simple way to deflect criticism
It seems you can't point anything out these days without being a Bully, Racist or sexist.
 
A bit like those crimes you hear about and wonder what happened next.

So I thought I would update the collective and thank you for all your support.

Went up last Sunday with just suit cases and main kit to go once he has a place. Edinburgh is nice except it is all up hill. You may think there are down hill bits but that is just to prepare you for more up hill. By the end of the week my shin splints hurt and the legs were covered in blotches.

The armada arrived on Monday and the place was overrun by Spaniards.

At first it seemed that the flats were price about right till we got a look at the quality and upped our budget to 650 pcm. Blood students were out in force and snapping up everything with a door and roof. First one I saw was a ground floor tenement in Bryson rd. Dark, damp and smelly, even the students who were viewing with me turned their noses up.

The next was in Milton and 200% better but a studio on the ground floor with the front door off the street. I was due to see 4 this day and on the way to Milton street one had already gone (very nice place in Musselburgh). On the way to the next another one went (bloody students).

The best of the lot was a proper one bed flat in Dumbiedykes. Very nice, light, airy and close to his work. He could walk to work in the morning with a cup of tea in hand and not have time to drink it before he got to his desk. Unfortunately Dumbiedykes is an interesting area and he was warned off by his colleagues. I was going to stay another night but on Wednesday all the hotels were booked unless you wanted to spend 500 a night. The European youth parliament was in town and the Scottish parliament was sitting. Does the plastic bottle thing include milk bottles or is it just drinks. Managed to get a cancellation in Travelodge on Queens street as we were loading the car to leave.

He is now staying with friends till November when he can move into a flat his friend has as he is moving into a house.

The good thing about Edinburgh is the public transport. With the help of google maps you can put in the place you are going to and it will give the bus route and at what time to catch it.

Had 4 meals out. The best was a fish and steak restaurant a street down from North bridge, expensive but as the other night proved worth the money. It went down hill from there. The worst was in a smokehouse and it was so bad it was inedible. Burnt, dry, over cooked and the sauce on the baby pork ribs tasted of chemicals. Had only some of the thrice fried chips as most were too hard to eat. The only saving grace was the BBQ beans, the rest went in the bin. It was that bad I even complained!!!

Overall I liked Edinburgh, it just needs to be a bit more flatter and have less students and tourists.

Once again guys thanks for your help and info.

IIRC there is no Chief Exec nor Chair at the Scottish Police Authority, so basically there is nobody at the top.
