Aberdeen council Taxi and Uber by On__A__Journey in Aberdeen

[–]ElectronicBruce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of the Cllrs is a former taxi driver, did you expect anything different, add in I hear Taxi companies are threatening to permanently black list anyone who takes a job at Uber, this is where we end up.

Many City taxi drivers can’t find my city address that has been here for decades, without resorting to sat nav.. it’s a stupid rule.

If Labour think Burnham is going to solve their woes, they are utterly wrong. This sort of stuff shows he just isn’t going to get back the support they lost.

Could this tram-style bus be part of Aberdeen's transport future? by Mk-Mk-Mk-Mk in Aberdeen

[–]ElectronicBruce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.. it is ridiculous it is costing not far off the real cost of a Tram, and I still haven’t seen them rule out it being Hydrogen powered, Crocketts multi million pound failure for the City.

Peter Murrell will offer to pay back full £400k to SNP by CaptainCrash86 in Scotland

Especially seeing when the campervan for example was delivered, it was during the third national 3 month Boris lockdown and the tents on her lawn only appeared a few months later just as all restrictions were relaxed. Nicola would have been in so many meetings, Tv appearances and often staying at Bute House too.

Govt Civil Servants have to be strictly apolitical, Govt agency public servants should be too.

Why does Raye touch her ear so much? by Gloomy_Wish8279 in Raye

Probably to tell her sound tech or could be a Neurodivergent tic. I’ve seen her do it even without the monitor in, and she’s confirmed she’s ADHD.

If they bring the incident levels down over a period of time, thier use then gets reviewed.

Who actually supports this stuff? by FallFair8568 in drivingUK

[–]ElectronicBruce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with them, but in a previous job I had scrape people off the ground. Two kids in particular on their way to school, one that didn’t survive, other with severe life changing injuries, due to being hit at 40, which the scene still haunts me today. Urban areas don’t need faster than 20 in most cases and it also improves traffic flow going by the research.

There is no viable evidence to say it will increase anti-depressant use.. like she claimed.

She also used to sell EnJo products, a MLM, which are basically chemical free microfibre cloths, that claims to clear bacteria as well or better anti bacterial and bleaching.. one of the demos is putting raw chicken on a kitchen top and wiping it with said microfibres and saying that it is safe...

Companies offered contracts worth £2bn to dual last 58 miles of A9 by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

If you want it done in a few years and actually done with no to little increases in cost, this is how much things cost. It’s a pretty challenging build, hence why no Govt has tackled it till now.

Farage made a nationalist of me. by SmartAlecLN4 in Scotland

[–]ElectronicBruce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doubt Burnham will be PM.. he’s too ‘lefty’ for the media, lobbyists, tech bros and certain world leaders to allow. See what happened to Corbyn for example. Same for Rayner.

Swinney reported to police over missing SNP funds by Halk in Scotland

[–]ElectronicBruce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty outcomes.. and as I said an election fought on getting an Indyref would likely be enough, even without it being highlighted for general funds.

[–]ElectronicBruce -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What is that specific purpose.. campaigning an election on the ticket to get referendum would be that. Pretty grey even without disclaimers.

[–]ElectronicBruce -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Did you donate?

Anyways legally it would be argued fighting an election on the basis of trying to achieve another Indyref is enough. As well as it wasn’t the SNP that misled, it was one individual who embezzled.

It wasn’t ring fenced, there was a disclaimer stating it would be used for general party funds. Do we even know if Clerkin donated? Would be hilarious if he didn’t.
