What exactly do you remember being headline news at the time ?

The headline was actually how they tried to bury it,hence why it made the headline, which you admitted to knowing about in your own words.

Think about what you type in future.

It was a proper Piers Morgan style grilling from Miami last night. You'll be hacking all our phones for evidence next.

Here's what I read.

 https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/19162603.scottish-education-mired-stagnation-warns-report/

I had also read something similar in the BBC a month ago about some standards falling. I hadn't heard of a report being buried, which is why I asked you. It was a genuine question fella, your following replies were fucking bonkers. Did anybody ever teach you how to have a conversation? 😆

Is that information good enough for you? Or should I continue to hang my 'thick, utterly pathetic' head in shame? Please remember I'm not a politician when making your decision, it's okay for me to miss a bit of news x

Mate, you try too hard 😄 

The main report came out well in advance of those. But, you are a bit slow on the uptake 😉

Have a nice day, I think I shall have a wee dram watching the Old Firm game x

You mentioned that you might vote for a separation from England, if there was ever another referendum. 
 

Out of interest; why?

Surely you understand why?

Enlightenment me.

It was a question for him rather than you, though.

So you mean him personally, rather than Scottish people as a whole?

Yes, that is correct, I’m interested in his views on this matter.

Even funnier when they roll out this coffin dodger who is ironically from Bromley, England.

Even i would think twice....

Will just open up a bit here now and explain a few things.

Behind the scenes, me and a few Army fellas who are good mates have been trying to help Afghani interpreters from the war to get a settled life in the UK with their families 

Our first one landed happily with his family the other day.

Those who watch my twitter page will have seen the increased activity recently with the interpreters. Poor blokes are fearing for their lives after what will happen in May re the treaty.

That's all for now fellas.

It feels like a different political landscape up here. That might be a misjudgement, but there's a lot of folk that feel distanced from some of the Conservative policies we've seen in the past 10 years. I'd include myself in that. Independence could be an opportunity for something different. Less austerity, more equal distribution of wealth, more action on climate change, a different type of economy and way of measuring growth. Also a more democratic voting system. All these feel more achievable under a different government. 

I'm not saying the solutions lie with the SNP though. I think they would be likely to splinter if it ever happened. I don't think now is the time for another referendum anyway. It would be too toxic and divisive at a time when we need the opposite. But if the Conservatives don't deliver on their promise to "level up" and do more for disadvantaged communities then I can only see support for Indy growing. Regardless of what happens with Nicola.

Interesting thoughts; thanks!

Cheers pal.

Currently chatting with 2 more, poor sods have been given the death penalty off the Taliban albeit in a non court way. Really feel it for them.

Some of the stuff they're sending on video is fucking awful. Constantly on the run now.

The work done by these Afghans has largely gone un-noticed, but they've played a massive part in what has gone on and should be recognised for it, as opposed to those who ran off to join ISIL but now want to come "home"

I see James Hamilton is submitting the report on Sturgeon wrong doing, he’s Irish lawyer, only one way that report will be going.

He’s one of them. He’s been commissioned To do work for them before. They’ve basically said to their own in house legal counsel can you investigate us for wrongdoing and let us know what you find but be mindful of who pays you 😁

More democratic?

Christ on a bike.

As for the rest of their governance, tax people more heavily then achieve nothing with it?

Unless of course you not of an academic bent, but just want to get smacked off your tits all day.

Easy to promise the earth, but evidence from them so far suggests they'd scorch it.
