Some sense from George Galloway re JKR

[SunsetBeetch]

Where exactly is it you think Scottish tax revenues go?

Scottish Tax goes towards all the normal things that taxes go on in Scotland, including a whole lot that the English don't get such as free prescriptions, free university education, free fruit and veg in Supermarkets, and more, that are subsidised by English tax payers...

I like what George says. Didn't he once go and tell the Americans off for the Iraq debacle? Or was it Afghanistan? Anyroad, I agree with pp about the hat.

If it's raining (statement of fact) and someone I dislike says it's raining, I'd agree with them.
Even if someone else (anyonymous internet user) said the rain comment was actually a subconscious comment on climate change or was because they wanted to sell me an umbrella.
Their 'suspected' motivation doesn't change the truth of the fact.

George Galloway is an utter irrelevance, and his opinion on this or anything else is also an irrelevance.

That's just your opinion, right?

Er, yes, DoublePat, it is. I happen to agree with him on this issue, and disagree with him on many others, but it makes no bloody difference what he thinks, because he's an absolute joke and an irrelevance. He's certainly no friend to women.

He isn't the 'voice of reason'.

He only sounds like the voice of reason if you compare him to a cult.

Lol, righto.

I take it you are unaware of the enormous deficit in the Scottish budget?

His opinion has at least as much relevance as yours. Probably more - given he is not anonymous and has a platform to speak from.

Oi! I'm called ArcheryAnnie, and I'm speaking on this platform, thank you very much!

I mean, you listen to him if you want to, Dido, but he's no friend to women. He's just a tedious joke.

What are you "lolling" about? Do you think these things are affordable without the input of general UK taxation? Scotland spends more than it earns.

I agree with everything he says here. Which of course does not mean I agree with everything he said or thought ever. That this needs to be said these days is just, bizarre
