@Ratatatnat I'm still not within commuting distance of Glasgow.
@Ratatatnat Rat-a-tat was the old Commando comic word for a machine gun firing. To put "nat" at the end of it raises questions for me.
Also,I don't live anywhere near Glasgow.
Strange name. Anyone know them?
@Newburghgowfer @GlennCoutts Ditto on that sentiment.
The UK Gov't told the media today the Budget would be March 11th - the same day councils in Scotland legally must set budgets.

“✍️ @DerekMackaySNP wrote to the UK Chancellor seeking clarity on the UK Budget date - and got no reply. 🤷‍♀️ The UK Gov't told the media today the Budget would be March 11th - the same day councils in Scotland legally must set budgets. 🚨 This is disrespectful of devolution. https://t.co/gpguzgTU93”

@[email protected] Heard her say that on the radio this morning. She ten went onto say when pressed for an answer-
"Scotland shouldn't leave the UK"
Two staggeringly ignorant & stupid statements in one sentence.
@Namorrodor @ecksmc That was my understanding. There are deaths counted as drug related with only the most tenuous connection. Some 3rd sector agencies are trying to make profit from the stats is my perception of things.

Head of the Tory group in Glasgow City Council, Thomas Kerr, appears to be using the Tory's Nurse Maths.

"Scottish drug deaths are 3 times higher than UK" - a mathematical impossibility given that Scotland is in the UK.

Not the brightest spark, is he?

Alex asks me this morning,

"See those who believe Britain's a country, what do they think makes it a union?"

For as we know, one country does not a union make 😉
