Derek Mackay: Nicola Sturgeon under fire after Scottish Government asked for story 'justification'

Nicola Sturgeon has been accused of a failure of leadership over the Derek Mackay scandal, as it emerged the Scottish Government demanded to know the "justification for publication" of a story which exposed him and the name of the 16-year-old he is accused of sending hundreds of messages too.





Loathsome woman.

From the media...




The EU’s final words to the UK as it departed the union after nearly half a century were “thank you, goodbye, and good riddance”.

The misspoken farewell, spoken by the Croatian ambassador to her UK counterpart Tim Barrow last week, perhaps sums up 47 years of the Britons being lost in translation in Brussels.

Tricky, that thought sent a shiver down my spine...and made me chuckle!

Here's a thought about coronavirus: with 722 known deaths out of some 35k cases, that = a death rate of 2%.

But how long after you're known to have the virus might you unfortunately die?

Could be that the death rate is far higher. Work it out.

On 27/1 there were 13k cases, but on the 20/1 300 cases.

On 7th February the death count was 636, today it's 722.

Who knows; does WHO know?

Rejoin? It won't even exist

I remember, not long ago, BBC and the remainers they were made all the noises.. brexiteers just waiting for the time to pass. We all know the what happens next. They, once again, remainers now "rejoiners" lol, try to tell us voters change their minds and they want to rejoin.. These losers like M2 never learn... lol

Aw, feel sorry for you, Minnie, with the glass eye and flies buzzing around you. Your missus blends in well.

"Brexit begins to bite in Brussels as net contributors Austria, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands advocate cuts to the EU Budget and warn that they aren't prepared to increase their contributions thereto.

Austrian PM Kurz has even threatened a veto."

Oh brilliant! Remember when the UK wanted to stop the EU budget from increasing? We were told that we were "bad Europeans".

I doubt that they'll change without massive objections from member states.

1. They're too cosseted and remote.
2. They're on too good a screw.
3. They'd have to eat humble pie.

There's a long way to go, but the people are sensing blood. History doesn't stand still.

New tech to be implemented in the chimp cage for 2020. Something along the lines of.............SPY GORILLA!

Let's be clear.Brussels became more and more complicated every day and even more so in the future. I personally I can't see Britain rejoin European union, especially when the UK economy will be doing extremely well, unless Brussels change direction and the way they think.

REPORT: UK-linked EU economies at risk after end of Brexit transition period.

With logic like this, the rejoiners have some way to go lol :-)



“Prediction is a mug’s game, but the odds that British public opinion will shift in favour of remaining in the European Union – if, indeed, it hasn’t already – are extremely high,” says Stephen Bush for the Fabian Society.

Thinking about it I guess the old 'Brexiters' could now be called 'Remainers' and the old 'Remainers' could now be called 'Rejoiners'. lol.

m5: Sounds like the EU could have done with running some Mark Carney worst case scenario stress tests of the type used on the banks along the lines of 'will the EU be able to cope with one of its larger contributors deciding to leave'. Maybe they have, in which case I'm sure one of the pro-EU remainers will be quick to enlighten us lol.

[chinahere] 07/2/2020 18:23

Hey.

The UK is 66 million and the EU is now 447 million so they are only 6.77 times bigger than us.

So they are not that big and I do hope they will soon be shrinking. lol.

Sure I posted somewhere about BJ just sitting back and watching the EU fight over themselves. Tbh it's predictable. The outcome will move towards a free trade agreement... each country in Europe has its own little export market to the UK . Why should one country be penalised more than another, whether it's a German car, French wine or tourism in Spain. We are constantly being told the Eu is a much bigger market than the UK, which it is, so why should a pesky island to the north of Europe be of any economical threat to it since it's 10 times as big. Only that if we are successful it will just show what a crock the EU is. I think they are genuinely worried of losing control and the gravy train getting derailed.
