Mother, Woman, No to Scexit, SNP have ruined Scotland




I am an eternal optimist but I’m also a realist so as we trundle towards the Scottish elections and all the freebies on offer from our politicians the ask is – how are you going to pay for them? Speaking of politicians, I am reminded of a brilliant episode of The Thick of It entitled ‘Rise of the Nutters’ – a satire on inept politicians making stupid policies Armando Iannucci, a good Scotsman said he couldn’t write any more political satire as the real-life situation couldn’t be funnier; I would add it couldn’t be scarier. Is it just me or are more nutters hoping to get elected into public office, and not just in Scotland but globally? We need to boost our economy and go for growth while attracting the very best into public office. Here are some quick wins for our politicians… - Housing: Fast track planning, and Section 75 redesign - Quangos bonfire: Reduce the red tape, bureaucracy and duplication - Hospitality and retail: Freeze the rates system - Tax: Level the tax system with England - Oil & gas: Bring forward the Energy Profits Levy, and open up new licenses to explore our North Sea - Business support: Streamline assistance through a one-stop shop And once elected engage with business – nearly every serious business person I speak to it is “Country first, Politics second”. Take advantage and partner with business; make policies based on facts… Scotland should be booming — why does it feel like it’s going bust? thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…
