Don't forget politicians also misspeak as well.

Good luck with your search for the answers you seek. Unfortunately, if there were straightforward answers to these questions, I suspect we would have heard them by now. Our current situation is undemocratic and, based on Prof Black's analysis, unlawful. I wish you well.

Unfortunately Sheila, the way the SNP have stood up to WM i.e. Brexit, Grangemouth, bottle recycling scheme etc, you know I think they just might.

Let's be pragmatic, if WM will not condemn Israel or even acknowledge that genocide is taking place, then really how realistic is it to expect the WM controlled media to do it?

While I respect your opinion on this matter, the £200M, to save the last Scottish oil refinery, offered by UK government pales in to insignificance when compared to the £600M in loan deals to build a new petro-chem plant in Belgium and the £1 billion to help Manchester United. It aids perspective.

Scotland isn't an afterthought, it is not that important to WM. Scotland is just an asset to be used by WM for their benefit. Wakey Wakey Scotland

I know foreign policy is a 'reserved power' for WM, but the Scottish Executive should also recognise Palestine as a state and let WM be damned. It is long overdue that Scotland acted in defiance.

In a fair society I would agree. In the real world, British Steel is in England, so Labour will save that and leave Scotland's interest wither and die, much the same as all other English political parties.

Resources. England needs Scotland's resources, it's that simple.

Harming peoples belief in Scotland is his sole purpose as Liebour's governor General for Scotland.

What independent and authoritative body can provide any evidence that politicians are productive and provide value for money?

Congratulations. Wishing mum and baby Ivy health and happiness.

Thanks you. I have been involved in the gas transportation industry for a long time and issues with Suppliers has been known for a long time. Unfortunately, I don't think that talking about it will solve anything.

I accept your point and the view of the Octopus CEO. If he is serious, why does he not give a refund, or part refund, of the Standing Charge to his consumers, as all Suppliers are making eye watering profits from the energy market.
