Excellent article Stephen. I could not believe my ears when I heard Fiona Hyslop's loaded question. It really is an embarrassment that questions like these are allowed as they are only included to give FM grievance ammunition to Westminster bash as opposed to admit to other failures of their governance, of which there are many.
I suspect that ASLEF know that the Scottish Government are the ultimate paymasters and that with Abellio gone, they can push for significant increases. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out in the coming days.
I see that another ferry has been taken out of service today after having struck a pier while berthing somewhere in the a Western Isles . The resultant hole was temporarily welded up and the ship was taken to the Clyde for repair . It will be out of service for some time . Why can’t the SG have a spare ferry on standby for situations such as this ? I bet sane governments all over the world do it . Transport shambles has become the norm .
Matt , to be honest it was daft of the SG to think that they could nationalise Scotrail and make it work . The unions , to paraphrase Frankie Boyle , “will drive the SG into the ground like a tent peg “.
…..Andrew for the life of me I can’t understand what you’re on about ….perhaps you’re so bitter and full of rage that you are unable to express yourself properly …..now take a deep breath and start again .
Today’s propaganda from SNP Bad HQ and the tax dodging Daily Mail. As Rail services in Tory England torture the budgets of millions the Brit Nats attack anything that makes ordinary life better. At some point, people will wake up to the reality of right wrong propaganda.
What a great line “… she's nationalised the assets and privatised the blame.”
Superb article as always

Brilliant Stephen. Not really a laughing matter for the people of Scotland, but if you didnae laugh you would greet.
A highly entertaining read. Hyslop steaming in with an absolute doozy! 😂 The whole situation is farcical yet this useless bunch keep getting voted in.
"The biggest mistake the SNP has made in, oh, the last 24 hours." LOL. Love it.

I’ve noticed him on other sites coming out with the same misbegotten tripe using the same words and phrases . It would be best if we all ignored him .

…..for those still with a sense of humour …..She needs to get a ‘tender behind’ .
Rail strike are the old normal here. You wouldn't expect to be able to travel at week ends, do you.
To be fair to SNP, the chalice they picked up is full of poison. ASLEF v the Government (any government) is a long-standing fixture.
Superb again Stephen, keep them coming!
