Luckily, people are at last seeing through it. You'll defend anything, absolutly anything. You actually don't know how stupid you look. You simply don’t read posts or the subject you try and use to make your ridiculous points. i didn’t defend anything, merely pointed out the clear error in your post which made YOU look like an idiot. the paraphrased article which you then paraphrased yourself. Doesn’t try and say anyone’s billionaires are better. It comments on the different impact of both geographical billionaires on their respective economies. One makes money for the top section of the economy by playing with other folks money, while one makes more of an impact on the middle and lower portions of the economy. which one IF it was mandatory would you have? The top down trickle bollocks of the London economic model or the bottom up one which makes jobs for many more people? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro Posted May 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Couple of quick questions - with oil nudging up towards $80 a barrel, would I be right in assuming this is a good thing for Scotland, with us also having an abundance of flammable baby boxes? My thinking being that the price might deter any casual arsonists from going on a baby box burning spree. A theory supported by the lack of baby box fires this week. With oil prices being so volatile (and oil also being a burden) should the Scottish government introduce MUP on fuel to keep babies safe? Lower prices could encourage fire starters to start more fires. Keeping the price artificially high might deter them. Long term it may also help lessen oil use in Scotland. As we’ll all be aware Scottish oil is notoriously more difficult and expensive to extract than Norwegian oil. Luckily for us we have the support of many philanthropic multinational companies, willing to rid our waters of this dangerous and volatile commodity, despite there being no profit in it for them. Should the Scottish government use taxpayers money to send the CEO’s of these companies a bunch of flowers and or chocolates as a thank you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond_geezer Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I’m hoping that comrade McIlroy might dispense some of his unearned wealth so that we may retain Mulumbu and JJ. Money is only fun when you spend it . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclean07 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Good diversions, lads. The article is lifted directly from the Nationalist (SNP Daily Mail) and nowt to do with Kevin Hague. I see the Indy supporting Sunday Herald and the Indy supporting Angela Haggerty are getting it large for " doing down " the Scottish Government. These people clearly haven't takenn board they we live in s one party state and that no criticism us tolerated! Abuse rained in if course. Still, good to see the Nats fighting amongst themselves, as the dream fades further and further away. When's the referendum, Krankie? Can't come quick enough. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're as Tory as the rest of the UK when it comes to money. I should know, I sat and listened to a massive cross section of them complaining about paying taxes and welfare scroungers in a past life. And funnily enough, it was the same in England and Scotland,. But hey, an Independent Scotland will be a Tory free progressive heaven!!

I'm sure you recall me patiently explaining before that in the financial advice world, if any customer didn't want risk they got a guaranteed product and if they wanted some risk, as some did, they could choose their own level. (Just like you chose when you invested in oil. Although investing in a single commodity would be way off the risk scale of even our most adventurous fund). Entirely their choice. It made no difference to my remuneration, unless the chose nothing of course. Anyway, why let the truth get in the way of a good slur. I wouldn't presume to know all the ins and outs of being a succesful centre forward or a business banker, so maybe we should stick to commenting on what we know about.

Hope that helps Guessed that would be the response from you, thinking it was all about you, but if you read my post, the pause was deliberate to give you the opportunity to think “poor me, always the victim” when if fact it was just a post about you hearing about dodgy dealings and not involved in them. You know I am well aware of financial advisers regulations. So no slur for you to pathetically try to pin on anyone. And you have no idea how diverse my portfolio is and who administers it, so no need to jump to ill concocted conclusions.

Ah ancient history, that wasn’t a subject I was very interested in at school, but I will concede that back in the day lad Labour did implement some worthwhile strategies into our life. It’s a bit like sitting on grandads knee with your horlicks listening to that same old story as he gets you off to sleep. But grandad, what can the new generation of politicians do to address the current issues, because back then we had some clever, unselfish labour politicians, but now they are attracted to the blue light like flies at night. Shut up horrible child and go to sleep, grampa knows best and I will be bringing out that broken record tomorrow night until you learn your lesson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the man who wanted Scotland out of NATO, out of the EU and having its own Scottish currency. Jim must have his very own brand of magic mushrooms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
