THE TRAMS THAT NO ONE APART FROM THE LABOUR/LIBTHINGIES WANTED-IN THE SHITE!

(THIS PICTURE IS PHOTO-SHOPPED BTW)

The trams that nobody in Edinburgh wanted.  Well apart from the last Labour/Libthingy coalition in the Scottish Government, who probably had a wee snigger behind doors as the had left the SNP with a WHITE ELEPHANT.

Well, no one is sniggering in Edinburgh NOW as THE TRAM PROJECT is forecast to run two years over the completion date and cost a minimum of £145 million extra.  This extra cost will have to be borne by the EDINBURGH TAXPAYER, (who didn't want the Trams in the first place), because the SNP Government are refusing to pay more than £500 million they agreed to.  So after having to endure three years of disruption in their City, it's now going to cost them a fortune in their council tax.  I wonder what this will do for the LIBTHINGY'S vote in Edinburgh in eight weeks time?

Anyone for the Glasgow Airport Rail Link?

NO ALTERNATIVE TO SCOTTISH BUDGET AS LONDON CUTS START TO BITE

Opposition parties have failed to put forward alternative plans for the Scottish budget – as the finance committee’s influential report is published.

The cross party report puts forward no alternative plans for Glasgow Airport Rail Link, or any other spending proposals and accepts the impact of cuts this year and in coming years on Scotland’s budget – something some opposition parties still reject.

SNP MSP and Finance Committee member Joe FitzPatrick said this report should bring an end to opposition cries over GARL.  “Labour can no longer run and hide from the reality of cuts in spending this year and in the years ahead.  Their fiscal fantasy land has come to an end.  “The Committee has accepted that the Scottish Government’s budget has been cut – a fact of life the Labour party should get used to as it was their Government that put the cuts in place.  “It is not good enough to shout and scream from the sidelines. With no alternative proposals coming forward the empty bluster of the Labour party has been exposed.

“What this budget shows clearly is the benefit that could come to Scotland with full fiscal powers of independence.  "Instead of looking at what projects have to go because of London's capital cuts we could use the borrowing powers of a normal nation to invest through the recession and build recovery.”***

There is no doubt in my mind that FULL INDEPENDENCE is the only way forward for SCOTLAND and indeed the rest of the U.K.  IMO, the two nations have become too divergent to continue together.
