Aye,we love our Audis and are passionate for sure. I'm sure you might remember my enthusiasm for Audi's awesome V6's in the 80? It's a shame you weren't there as my enthusiasm for them just turned into "Fact" On the M6 with Royston.

I admire this woman in Scottish politics,she's an awesome performer and she really rams home the stark reality of what our own opposition in the house of commons could be and what it's missing!!

Very well said.........

It just won't wash forever. (And Northeners are treated and thought of in exactly the same way by the establishment by the way)

She picks on me all day! No racism intended, just kidding, but a 'mini-EU' in what is now the UK would see every region benefit a great deal (it's just that it would upset the apple cart in the 'big smoke'). (Not ignoring Wales or N.I. but just to make it simple) London, Southen powerhouse, Northern powerhouse and Scotland, four regions which with, lets face it, slightly different genetics, origins and outlook on life, all working together and independently for your own 'team'. Nobody can pretend we have completely shed our tribal origins, hence the popularity of football, but a federal setup would be best. With a rotation of central government, not based in London for the next 200 years! I'm not a racist or separatist kind of person in any way, if it was up to me I'd do away with all borders and nationalities, but I have spent a lot of time in London, and for anyone to say that we share exactly the same priorities and attitude, across the UK, from end to end, is a load bullsh*t. *Not the original Londoners VDT! The ones there now, it's attracted the best and the worst of the UK's population, which works fine for their own individual means and agenda in life, but not for the population of the UK, or the world as a whole.

When it comes down to it I think most Scots, Northertheners, Southerners, Irish and Welsh would prefer a socialist leaning modern inovative democracy where taking care of the population's health and education, young, old, sick or frail is the number one priority (not making money and bombing Arabs), with no Royal family, no aristoctacy, no house of lords and land and natural resources which are owned by the people, not a select few. But we are not given this choice by the establishment, certainly not with devolution, which leaves us no option but to attempt to go it alone. Sad but true.

Every day I've looked out the window here for the last few months there is a constant reminder of how we are being used, ships, laying a power cable, from Ayrshire to Liverpool, it's a one way deal, going south, cover Scotland in nuclear power stations and wind turbines (which it almost is now!) then export the energy, we're just a cash cow, always have been. It'll be water pipes next, we've got a bit of that!

Yeah... you, me & so many people I know all have this same opinion, with the statistics to back the reality up
