SNP ‘cutting off rural Scotland after litany of transport failures’
Sandy Easdale says Humza Yousaf and Nicola Sturgeon have forced public away from bus journeys
I know where there’s a spare bus…..so does the SNP, now at least.

Maybe rural Scotland should identify as a gay black tranny Muslim refugee, so the Scottish National Party will care.
‘Mr Easdale, who together with his brother James ranks seventh in Scotland’s rich list with a fortune worth £1.363billion, told the Sunday Telegraph: “We have a landslide of people being cut off in rural routes and villages.”
They own Inverclyde-based bus company McGill’s, which like other firms has seen passenger numbers remain stuck at up to 25 per cent lower than pre-pandemic levels.’
This does suggest to me why there’s the whinge for subsidies.
It sure is. Just follow the rules laid down 80 years ago by the bloke with the funny hair and even funnier little moustache.
Get your flock to hate some other people with a passion to deflect attention from what you’re doing and you can do anything you like. I apologise if I’ve posted thus here before, but if Jockplod look into the ferries I wonder what they’ll find? Mind, given the shenanigans that people have got up to in porridgewogland they may forget.
Grist, I believe that the only things that get ‘looked into’ are those where the answers are already known and are harmless or where no serving politician or government ‘adviser’ will get crucified for it. There certainly won’t be any substantive ‘looking into’ HMG’s response to covid in my lifetime……….
Perhaps when said politicians are all dead or dribbling we’ll get some truth…..
Yesterday I saw (Telegraph website?) that the Polis are looking into what happened to the money bequeathed to the SNP.
On a noisy nationalist website I enquired why we don’t hear similar tales of incompetence and corruption from Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, or Gibraltar. One thoughtful chap, though an SNP supporter presumably, said it was because in those statelets the governments didn’t distract the electorate with talk of independence and lots of racism directed at the English (I paraphrase). In other words, pretty much Grist’s point.
Yarp.
How many chief constables were sacked after the government “looked into” the paedophile Muslim grooming gangs the government and chief constables had been effectively collaborating with all those years?
That’s right, it was none.
None chief constables have been sacked.

There was a recent article on here about the need for more black and other minority blood donors.
This bank holiday morning I’m at a very busy donor session. So far I’ve counted 52 people either donating or waiting. 52 of them were white.

Doesn’t the causality run the other way? SNP politicians are selected for their devotion to the cause and hatred of the English. When it turns out that they are useless at governing because they are incompetent and / or spending their time thinking up devious ways to get IndyRef X they have to ramp up the rhetoric as a distraction.

When a community is so small you can’t hide behind several levels of security and the Wife still has to do her shopping amongst all the other Wives…
That tends to focus attention on Matters at Hand, with a high selective pressure for actual competence.
If you don’t… weeeellll… Small communities can turn really nasty, really fast…
Having previously lived in the Isle of Man and family ties going back several generations this is easy enough to answer, it’s because the bloke at the head of government isn’t surrounded by a team of security, does his groceries at Douglas Road, Shoprite and takes the wife out to the Barbary Coast Grill & Bar on a weekend.
When you’re “National” government is both local AND personal it’s actually quite hard to lose the popular touch and still remain in office.
Kind of the Crown Dependency version of “Sven’s Beer”.
