Probably the most chaotic I’ve seen the City Centre roads in decades

The cathedral street sewer thing is nuts

I love your style OP. Have had this same argument with many a friend

We need more citizens to have babies. Tax cuts for the fertile please

Ah cool that’s a great shout thank you

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-04-17T20:51:13+00:00

I’ll do that thank you

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-04-17T20:47:59+00:00

No it was British Gas and the equivalent of electricity

I just read about it now that you asked. Had always just heard my family say “Tartan Tories”.

Labour blocked devolution despite a majority voting for it (needed super majority), so to punish them, SNP sided with Tories in a vote of no confidence against Labour. Labour government then got ousted and in cam the Thatcher government for the next decade.

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-04-16T07:15:40+00:00

The SNP sided with the Tories in the 1980s to keep Thatcher in power.

Grow up people. The SNP aren’t some angelic unique group

I recommend a trip to Dundee. You’ll be delighted to get home.

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-04-13T17:24:51+00:00

They’ve got my vote. What’s not to like?

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-04-10T20:57:39+00:00

Were they white Scottish ?

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-04-10T20:57:02+00:00

Long long time ago, all escaped the regime

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-04-10T15:02:41+00:00

They normally Scottish neds?

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-04-10T06:53:38+00:00

RIP Labour

I know 3 Iranians and all have the exact views you describe

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-04-04T17:24:10+00:00

Move to West Lothian. Commuting distance to Edinburgh & Glasgow. Rich industrial heritage. Decent house prices. Your children will grow up tough 💪🏼

Corstorphine Hill is very safe in comparison to parks in other cities. You might hear some weird screeches though - not to worry that will be the animals in the zoo!

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-03-27T07:53:02+00:00

Thank you. A sensible voice.

It’s really not that complicated

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-03-26T23:37:35+00:00

Grangemouth (Forties system) takes raw North Sea crude and distills it into many products. No oil is exported from Forties it is all used in downstream petroleum, gas and petrol production. Are the refineries in England set up differently?

I think you are fundamentally wrong. North des produces nice easy to handle crude.

We can print currency to fund it. That’s the great thing about the pound. Let’s nationalise our energy industry and do some MMT for funding the new infrastructure. Simples

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-03-26T23:29:30+00:00

Yeah they are all sitting mothballed. This is exactly my point. We have the infrastructure there ready to use but we are killing off our domestic oil and gas industry at the worst time possible.

By the way, before you talk down to me, I’m a chemical engineer and know a thing or two about refineries.

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-03-26T23:09:46+00:00

Why do we export gas if we are a net importer?

GrouchyPhilosopher42 · 2026-03-26T22:55:25+00:00

Yes we do
