| 22. Author: jake89 Date: Thu 12th Jun 2025. 21:10 Our local Labour MP has achieved sweet FA so far other than sitting on his hands while Labour took away Dunfermline`s promised £5m in funding. It`s now announced today that the same Labour party who cancelled all the funding because there was no money have magically discovered over £200m to invest in town centres. So Dunfermline will get a chunk of that then? Nope, it`s going to Kirkcaldy because the Labour MP there convinced Rachel Reeves to chuck them a few million to add to the countless millions already spent on Kirkcaldy while Fife`s only city and Scotland`s historic capital is left with nothing but failed "masterplans" the council never progresses.

Author: thebear Date: Fri 13th Jun 2025. 11:19 Quite simply scotland is a great country in a mess and politicians whether voted or not are a shambles, they need to do what`s best for country, not their own idealism Drugs record appalling Drink record appalling Health stats appalling nhs appalling religious bigotry appalling Common sense appalling God forbid if we got independence, what would they do to these, Also finance How willl the country be funded. What happens to Nhs Tax levels/rates defence/nato What happens to NHS and Dentists What happens to scotlands share of uk national debt. To Scotlands very high level of people on benefits Jobs what new industry is planned I could go on!!! Reply |

| 28. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 13th Jun 2025. 16:14 England wanted out of the EU because it considered itself a `net contributor` to its finances. It doesn`t seem to have the same qualms about `subsidising` the rest of the UK. Reply |
| 29. Author: jake89 Date: Fri 13th Jun 2025. 16:27 thebear, Fri 13 Jun 11:19 All the things you`ve listed are a result of Scotland as part of a United Kingdom. So what will the UK do to help Scotland? Worth noting that health and the NHS is better in Scotland, drug deaths dropped in comparison to the same time last year, religious bigotry is a result of Britain sending a bunch of guys over Ireland, and I`m not sure any part of the UK is winning in the common sense Olympics. Worth also noting that Scotland claims less benefits than N.Ireland, Wales and most of England. The "UK" and "England" rates are skewed massively by London. Yorkshire, which is roughly comparable to Scotland in size, is higher. Maybe it`s all those pesky immigrants? Reply |
| 30. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 13th Jun 2025. 16:46 Aye, that`s another anomaly, jake. Evidence based on Scotland being part of the Union for over 300 years is cited as proof that things will be worse if we were independent! Crazy logic! Reply |
| 31. Author: DBP Date: Fri 13th Jun 2025. 16:46 The bear has done a great job is of demonstrating why Scotland, as part of the union clearly isnt working... Even if independence isnt the land of milk and honey, it doesnt seem like it could be much worse than the framework we are in just now... and at least we`d get the political parties Scotland votes for, who will have Scotland at the centre of their vision and policies Reply |
