To get back on track (kind of) did you see the news the other day that Scots wearing kilts will be allowed to wear sporrans as well, despite your average sporran exceeding the permitted size of a `bag`? I hope that doesn`t give anyone with bad intentions the incentive to try and spoil the party.

Dave_1885 I actually agree with some of your points however, I think the excuses they use are well past their sell by date. It feels like pantomime to me. As much as I absolutely love pumping England, England isn’t to blame for all of Scotlands problems.

And as much as I’m happy to pay a bit extra tax so we can all benefit, I’m not seeing enough positive change or benefits. At the moment it looks like more tax = a bigger government. To me that’s not really a positive thing. They can’t even build a ferry. The at-least £200,000,000 Glen Saxon is again out of commission until March 6th. There’s the ongoing SNP financial scandal, public service failures and warnings the NHS in Scotland “cannot be sustained in its current form”, the widening poverty related attainment gap, we are building fewer homes than we should be, Angela Constance misrepresenting expert advice and being accused of misleading parliament regarding the grooming gangs scandal etc etc it just goes on and on.

But according to Big JS it’s alright because rich kids get free university education (that costs the tax payer nearly £1billion a year), my daughter got taught how gay guys do the boogy woogy and my son was taught it’s okay to think he’s a girl when he was 4. Thankfully he told them he wants to be a fire engine when he grows up eh! We once had a world leading education system. It’s been absolutely torn to shreds under SNP leadership.

I’m just going to vote for who I think will be most competent but I promise, it won’t be the SNP.

I suppose your neighbour`s cousin`s daughter`s son was told to use the class litter tray as a toilet tae NMCmassive?

And was your wife`s boyfriend`s best pal`s neice forced to sing Bah-bah Rainbow Sheep at nursery last tuesday?

Did you get fined yet for referring to your wheelie bin as black instead of grey?

I for one am massively offended that the Scottish Government is telling LITTLE GIRLS that they don`t have to be typists or dressmakers. How very dare they. It weren`t like this back in my day! Girls knew their place. They`d be working in the shop or in the typing pool until one of us blokes offered to marry them, and they`d be grateful!

Honestly, all the Tie piece explains to Primary School kids is not to be homophobic little wankers and that it`s fine for girls to be "tom boys" or boys to play with dolls. This is very much needed and I can give an example - a girl in my son`s class has always been a "Tom boy". Plays for a girls football team and has always been more rough and tumble than the girls in the class. They`re at high school now and my son informed me some of the kids have been calling her a "tranny". The parents of the kids involved have been made aware so hopefully that`s the end of it, but why kids in 2026 are still using "tranny", "gay" and "paedo" as every day insults is concerning.

I honestly don`t see what from the above you can disagree with without being an outright bigot, maybe you can explain in more detail but none of those bullet points are anything I`d have the slightest issue with, they seem quite positive and fairly soft
