    Classic When asked about Mr Starmers side regarding the schools reopening the reporter said "Mr hasn't chosen a side" <laugh> Another one who can't make a decision.

    The SNPs record on education is ****e - but this was known well before COVID came along, along with their failure to invest significantly in the health sector. However, they had a successful election campaign due to their stance on Brexit, which is entirely opposite to that of the Westminster parties, and is in line with what "the people" voted for up here.

    It's been known for at least two weeks about the death rate in care homes up here - it was at 60% at one point.

    They've made mistakes, as have most governments, but I'd still rather have them than the bunch if ****s in Westminster.

    Personally, I'm more concerned with the death rate in my local area which is far higher than almost anywhere else in the UK, and is definately the highest in Scotland. Poverty, deprevation and lack of investment in this area all part of the causes, and this falls not only at the SNPs doorstep, but the Labour regime that ran the Scottish government before them.

    You see I never knew how bad her record was until today. She talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. One reporter says she "has a catalog of failures".
    Watford should move up to Scotland if he likes her that much. I would rather have the idiots here who at least do a few things right.

    I'm not interested in what scotland does or is doing ( no offence to the scottish) I'm more interested in england and the lies we are told. You had any joy with the question I asked yet.

    Ellers, you admit the government have made mistakes. What do you consider these mistakes to be?

    They also do “a few things right”. I’ll need to find “a reporter” to clarify these and immediately accept them as fact.

    They have done some things well and right in my opinion, unfortunately they have done way too much wrong and then lied about it to the nation on tv. Totally acceptable to some, which speaks volumes.

    The hypocrisy in that post is quite scary but sums up, to an extent why this country is like it is.

    They do but I was asking bob as he did say in his opinion. He can answer for himself Watford. You don’t all need to man the pumps.

    Bob might have forgotten that one amongst all the major successes. They also tend to wear nicely pressed suits.

    Ellers, in the spirit of new found love that we have for each other....,could you please just answer Bobs question from yesterday....I’m genuinely interested in your opinion (as a Tory supporter). You’re ongoing refusal to answer such a simple question does you no justice,

    Please mate, I’ve not long been up from my night shift, shattered and kids playing up.
    It was asked on here so please either copy and paste it if you can find it or put it up on here.
    Just really wondering your opinion in this....maybe a list if successes and failures in the governments part.
