This documentary starts a little slowly, but becomes an eye-opening case study of how Labour steamrollered through crippling PFI contracts to build public infrastructure on the never-never when they ran the Scottish Executive from 1999-2007.
We highly recommend giving it a watch.

“I am sorry to say, but you acted like a fool in criticizing me for another poster’s comment without reading properly.”
Fair comment, I’d not caught up properly and jumped in with both feet.
“But in line with my “character and self-control”, I forgive you”
Nice one. 😉
Andrew Neil knows that the Russians have thousand of twitter bots and RT are the voice of the Kremlin. He has the government figures which prove it, the BBC of course would never just be the voice of the government.
If all these twitter accounts can be traced back to Russia I would suggest they are not as hot at computer hacking that they are claimed to be.
Anybody listen to QT tonight?
Just watched Andra Neil and the other 2 stooges on the set, handed their Ar**s by RT journo on This Week watch before it is deleted????

Wow trying to catch up having read every post on here. Brilliant posts as per usual. Some stand out, imo.

Let’s hope that everyone who frequents this site will denounce the Labour Party for the ‘shenanigans’ that has been going on in Ayrshire and no doubt elsewhere right across the country. Will take a closer look at what has been going on. Ayrshire Council forking out £1 million a month in relation to PFI, FGS. How many lost jobs does that entail? Then there’s the issue of the Procurator Fiscal and the Police. Who shut them up?
Has Gordon Brown mentioned PFI in his ‘autobiography’?
Great big thanks to the ‘investigators’ by the way. Well done folks.

@ Meg at 7:46pm ..
Meg thanks for that. Your story is absolutely heartbreaking and gives us great insight into what goes on in relation to liver disease with regard to the destruction of organs through drinking and of course through no fault of your own. Best wishes from me Meg. You’ve run the (hellish) course, the gauntlet, and have survived darling. Big hugs from me (((X))).

Let’s see if the witch of the west, Treeza May, announces (re the budget next week) that our emergency services WILL receive their VAT money (£134 million backdated) due to the 13 Scottish Tories (who say nought in Westminster – on record) submitting a claim. No doubt garbage. That follows 30 requests over the last 4 years from the SNP MP politicians at Westminster. If it happens we’ll all know that Westminster once again is totally corrupt and BIASED against our SNP MP’s at Westminster. That of course, that knowledge, will include all members of our Fire Brigades, Police Force and the Ambulance Service. Let’s hear Davidson talk her way out of that one. More so let’s hear what she has to say about the Police Force in Scotland in relation to Northern Ireland. One Police Force that has been receiving their VAT. And, eh, has control over Corporation Tax unlike the most devolved Parliament in the World.
……………………….
Alex on RT. Good for you Alex. You’ve found a way around Westminster control. Can access over 90 million people Worldwide. More than anything with your professionalism, honesty, competence, ability and friendly demeanor have made MANY friends along the way. The list of people you can have on your show is absolutely endless from supporters of Scottish independence to opposers. The list is endless from right around the World.
Show them, the Unionists, up. Tell the story of our oil. How we have been ripped off by experts such as Professor Alex Russell. Get people like Dame Marriot Leslie, NATO, on your show and Craig Murray et al.
Westminster and their MSM lackeys are quaking in their shoes right now. And no wonder. The truth will come out and they don’t like it one bit. Alex Salmond lost his seat to Tory Colin Clark who has asked ONE question at Westminster since he parked his erse on the benches five months ago. Let’s just say that with the use of their ‘dark money’ they did us all a great big favour. Bring it on Alex X.
IMOH, IMHO
Off-Topic, but relevant by date/time
I do not “do” twitter, but enjoy reading the Rev’s twitter feed. I therefore have to, reluctantly, indulge in pedantry and pull our exalted moderator up on something.
James Bond only went to Fettes, to complete his education, after he was “gated” at Eton, where, as a senior pupil, he was discovered in bed with one of the assistant matrons.
The Herald’s awards are truly shocking. The crew who bankrupted the economy.. The Sponsor’s are bad enough. Virgin, RBS and the rest. The Tories and the unionists are destroying the economy. Most of them are crooks and should be in jail.
Labour – unionists have created £1.2Billion of debt and created the biggest mess in Aberdeen City. It is a public disgrace. So is the Herald. What a complete disgrace of a paper. No wonder it is going down the tubes. Along with the UK economy. It is just unbelievable. Holding a fake awards ceremony when vulnerable people are being starved by the most appalling regime. The Herald puppets are a disgrace to the sicisty. The editor should hold his head in shame. The MSM totally out of touch. Davidson will be out at the next election and they know it. The electoral process changed to accomodate these muppets. What a farce.
Alex Salmond is shaking them up. They don’t like it one little bit.
I watched the start of Question Time from Newcastle last night, but, switched-off after the first question. How typically BBC, to open with a question on the decision to introduce minimum pricing for alcohol and NOT have a representative of the Government which had introduced the new ruling on to defend it.
Of course, that is the SNP, and it would never do to give them extra publicity. I thought Val McDermid made a terrific case for the new law, in spite of the boorishness of the odious and to me, somewhat drunk,Rod Liddle next to her.
This programme truly is, like Westminster, and the BBC in general, a shadow of what it once was and stood for.

Just heard Col Blimp is the Heralds politician of the year!
Sums up the “quality” of the 2 above.(had to check the date,not April 1st)
Two lumps of shite in the same cludgie.
Morning Nana, I was just asking last night on O/T if you were okay, I missed all your links. Hope you are well.
Thank you for today’s links, I’ll get a cup of tea later and enjoy them. I don’t think you ever sleep with all the stuff you must look through to bring us all these goodies, and it nearing Christmas as well with all the cleaning and cooking and getting ready for the big day. Take care of yourself. See you on O/t.
Now that RT, Alex and Vladimir have been well aired can we independentists now get on with the glorious task of subverting the failing British state, its agents and all its works? It’s what we’re here for, ?????!
Mornin’ Nana, thankx for your excellent linkies 😉 x
Very interesting…WordPress does not seem to support Cyrillic…..BEPHO?
I am only talking about TSTV. Are they now blocking and deleting files using your own antivirus software. If so we should name and shame the company’s before we renew our subscription.
YAY! Morning read is back. 🙂
Ta Nana.
Hiya Cactus. You are very welcome but mind your blood pressure, some of them can make you rage.

You asked, Mr Peffers …tell us ? Who is the bad’un?
I had not intended to say any more on that subject, Big Phil, but as you ask – here is some information:-
Peter Thomas Anthony Manuel (13 March 1927 – 11 July 1958).
Manuel was an American-Scottish serial killer. He was convicted of murdering seven people and suspected of killing several others. He murdered victims mainly in Lanarkshire and across south Scotland between 1956 and his arrest in January 1958. He was found guilty and hanged on the Barlinnie prison gallows in July 1958.
BTW: Here is a cite to a linked story, (by George Galloway), that might be of interest to Wingers:-
http://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/history/serial-killer-peter-manuel-incredible-12319674
Boris Johnson is in Ireland behaving a bit like David Davis in Germany. Are they behaving like clowns in order to win sympathy from the EU27, maybe? Is it a “pity me” strategy?
Johnson has been making a fool of himself on radio, explaining how the EU27 will have to move on to the next phase of talks then return to the question of the Irish border “later”. Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney then politely explains to Johnson that they’re not.
Try the Morning Ireland programme on the RTE Player for a good laugh.
Morning Macart.

@ Valerie,
“I never judge alcoholics or addicts, you don’t know their story, how they got there. We must try and give them the pathways, in various ways, to help them.”
My thoughts exactly, well said .
Why not judge them, why should piss artists and their suppliers get a free pass? Its easy to be sanctimonious about alcoholics, alcohol suppliers etc but there has to be a societal change here in Scotland and maybe there is.
Try telling battered wives that you do not judge the pissheads that beat the living day lights out of them, because the pisshead was hammered, team lost that afternoon, hungover…
Non Judgemental sanctimony might make us feel nice but you can bet that all medics and cops that deal with it probably are, lets say less sanctimonious.
The creeps that own say Buckfast in Devon are no different from drug dealers. If there is a hell, they’re going there, monk habits and all, hopefully.
On-line Herald – Lead Story – Col Ruth voted Scottish Politician Of The Year for the second year running.
You’ve got to laugh at that. Anybody who believes that she merits that is in serious need of urgent attention.
Is Uncle Tom Tractor Gordon Chairman of The Ruth Davidson Appreciation Society?
After that the Herald manages 4 separate articles plus cartoon, all negative of course, on the subject of Eck’s RT program and the rest of the MSM seem to be on the same or similar tacks – they really are upset.
On last night’s Brillo Vanity Show he couldn’t resist devoting most of it to attacking RT with, of course, a mention of Eck on the side.
I see that Fallon’s replacement is threatening Russia and the rest of the world with our wonderful white elephant carriers – if that isn’t propaganda what is? The Russians must be terrified.
Re the Trump – N.Korea business for ages we have been told that N.Korea has an ever developing nuclesr missile capability and only the other day we were told that they would soon have rockets which could reach The UK – we are actually supposed to believe such crap propaganda.
If the No Korea missile program is so advanced do you think that the Yanks would be so stupid as to distribute pictures of 3 of their Nimitz Class Super Carriers and there vast supporting fleets sailing in formation towards the camera when if N.Korea rockets were as advanced as we are told just one of them aimed at that force would take the whole lot out in one go.
You’ve got to laugh at that. Anybody who believes that she merits that is in serious need of urgent attention.
Not laughing. Colonel Ruth’s being ladened with sparkly tory baubles for good tory reason. If we’re lucky, Scotland will be free of the whole tory creep show in London for good, soon enough.
If not, Colonel Ruth’s heading for the House of Lords, dripping in “awards” from all kinds of tory con artists and chancers, like the Herald’s dingdongs.
Greannach says:
Torysplaining only works on other Tories, and even then, not always. 🙂
A wee world of their own (making).
Ireland is central to an exit deal. It has to be dealt with, and soon. The EU27 includes Ireland and they have power if veto if the exit deal doesn’t suit. The Tories’ world is full of fantasies – bespoke trade deal or survival on no trade deal – but also they fail to focus on the real issues in the real world.
The Tories believe that the EU will just move on and forget about the Irish border, pretend it does not exist, if we don’t talk about it, it will just go away, nobody will notice.
The Tories are down the rabbit hole with Alice.
Independent – ” David Davis blames Germany and France for Brexit talks deadlock ahead of UK deadline to agree bigger ‘divorce bill'”
Guardian – ” David Davis blames Germany and France for Brexit talks deadlock “
Makes me wonder if we are now seeing the Tory equivalent of the fictional Col. John ‘Hannibal’ Smith’s oft repeated, “I love it when a plan comes together”!
The plan, of course, being ‘no exit deal’ and ‘blame it all on EU intransigence’.

@Robert Peffers: since we’re now way O/T and into Peter Manuel territory…..
After the East Kilbride murder of the young girl, the local police initially arrested a harmless, well-known father of thirteen who had only one arm, despite the nature of the victim’s injuries clearly requiring an able-bodied attacker.
The man was released soon after but Manuel, who I believe had been questioned at the time, was allowed to continue his reign of terror and there were many more victims to follow.
Great links as ever Nana! Totally agree with Robert P. on alcoholics and other unfortunates! It’s a privilege to read and sometimes comment on a blog full of talented thinkers and progressive minds!

On-line Herald – Lead Story – Col Ruth voted Scottish Politician Of The Year for the second year running.
This is the “politician” who never holds a constituency surgery, who has to appeal for people to write in and suggest policies because she hasn’t got any, who believes that Scots going to visit England are all hooligans and thieves, who personally selects sectarian bigots and racists as Tory candidates, who is so committed to the day job that she spends more time swanning around in a pretendy Army uniform and driving a tank, riding poor, unsuspecting farm livestock and appearing on Dumbvision TV reality shows, whilst all the while denigrating Scots and Scotland.
In short, a Yoon.
Apologies if already posted, Alan Knight of Newswatch Scotland and IndyRef2 presents:’Protecting Ruth Davidson’. A brilliant and irrefutable exposition of how the BBC operates a ‘protect Ruth Davidson’ policy. The BBC is simply Britain’s Best Contortionists of the news about Unionism in general and Ruth Davidson in particular.
If you have to have a stupid prize award like Politician of the year shouldn’t the main criteria be that “nominees” should actually have done something or be shown to represent something noble or charitable or *something* anything?
Ruth Davidson doesn’t even hold constituency surgeries, all she ever does is talk to the press then hide until she appears at FMQs where she presents a swaggering self confident attitude for the cameras only to be shot down on a weekly basis by the FM but knows that the BBC will only show the swaggering bit accompanied by Bryan Taylors voice informing the pensioner Tory voter and her sectarian troop of followers and fishermen she *Done good* and scored points off the FM
We’re at the ridiculous point now where her own side know it’s all propaganda but they don’t care they’ve chosen their side and they’re sticking to it just as the Independence side are sticking to theirs
Brexit will change few minds in Scotland about Independence that was clear in the aftermath of the vote
Unfortunately Scotland is not Catalonia where the people of that area can have a common cause because they’re not arguing about the much bigger problem that Scotland has
Whit team dae ye support and I’ll vote for you if it’s the right one, although to be fair that argument runs way deeper on the Brit side than the Independence side
We might as well have the referendum now and get it over with, nothing and no event is ever going to change anything in a country where a religion is only acceptable if you play for the right football team on a Saturday but the rest of the week somebody wants to be up to their knees in your blood

The REAL grim face of the Tory Party.
STV News taken from ITV News:
WINTER HEATING in Ruth Davidson’s Tory Great Britain 2017.
“More than one million families will not have enough money to meet basic fuel needs this winter, according to research published Friday by National Energy Action.
The NEA report follows a recent survey that revealed three in 10 Britons are too scared to put their heating on fearful of crippling fuel bills…….”
“A survey by Solarplicity published Thursday revealed a staggering 32% said they will struggle to heat their homes this winter and a further 43% say the cost of heating their house forces them to think twice before turning it on……..”
http://archive.is/PssPm
As has been shown the present mouthpiece for the nasty party in scotland we are informed for the second year running has been voted top of the pile , now that really is taking the Jackie Baillie .
Maybe once , just once this character will be questioned the way SNP politicians are , ambushed and given the third degree on anything under the sun .
I wish Nicola would start taking the Jackie Baillie out of her at FMQs , she cant stand being ridiculed and laughed at , it dosent take much to unhinge her , stop the polite answers to her mostly stupid questions , she aint listening anyway .
Come on Nicola start taking the Piss out of her and the clowns behind her who seem to believe thumping the desks and making a loud noise constitutes a days work .

Thanks for the great links. Good food for thought.

Does anyone know the criterion used for Politician of the year?
Who votes for them? Why the ghastly herald introduced it?
I love the fact that the useless media is so incensed by RT and Alex Salmond having the temerity of having a show – when are these lying pillocks going to look in the mirror and see their own image not that of the Russians ?
Can we name the papers that decried everything the SNP does? Can we name and shame the papers inciting violence? Can we name and shame the papers that sneered and smeared our politicians and Jeremy Corbyn – even though they have jumped ship and seem to be giving JC grudging support.
The claims that Kremlin trolls manipulate , lie and smear – we don’t need them we have our own home grown malicious media.
This Russia BAD stuff is disgusting and having seen some Times journalist today airing her conviction that Russia has succeeded in making the great brutish public vote for brexit just irritated me even more – Mirror , mirror on the wall who are the biggest liars of them all!
The Sarry Heid was the last stop before going to the Barrowland, it was a great pub, the wine of choice was “White Tornado!” which it also sold in half-bottles for the jigging! Not many pubs sold draught cider then but the Sarry sold Scrumpy & Champagne Cider (superb), the casks lifted single-handed onto the bar by the proprietor a Mr Ross! Still open I think but won’t be the same.
Watching sky news talking about Catalonia with a few inverviews from there. Reporter trying hard to get someone who would say it would be bad.
Anyway, they had a fall back in an old guy who owns the biggest wine company in Catalonia and jeeze he was Tory over the back. It would be bad, very bad, could take 10 years to recover, maybe longer. Very bad for Catalonian people.
We have these people by the bucket load, but unfortunately it seems Catalonia has the same version of self interests working against them, not only the Spanish state. Seems familiar!

=====================================
I’m not sure White Tornado was a wine – more like a mild paint stripper. It could also be the reason the pub was often called the “Sorry Heid”.
In passing, claims that it was a continuation, however partial, of the old Saracen’s Head Inn (a coach Inn originally, all aboard for Edinburgh and don’t spare the horses) were never true. The original building was completely flattened at the turn of the 19/20th c. The pub built later had no connection with the old inn except the shared name – except perhaps (and I’ve never been able to confirm what I was told) that part of the old inn cellars form the cellar of the current pub.
@ Stu Mac, the bench seating was from the old Subway trains & the story was that the White Tornado was conjured up in the cellar from slabs of jelly & watter? The label on the bottle had a kinda hame-made charm.
So….
where are all the MSP tweets to (t)Ruthless Davidson saying aka Jenny Marra that
‘Being elected to Holyrood is a privilege not a pathway to Celebrity’
Will Ruthless donate her salary from the Bake Off – does it matter?
She’s doing what she always does before elections, get on a cosy TV show, become a well-kent face in people’s living rooms, they think of you like a family friend and at the next election you get extra votes.
Meanwhile, the same TV continues to show Nicola and colleagues as the big bad bogey-men and you definitely don’t want them in your living room!!!
On reading a recent rte article about Brexit it looks like the EU border will be the Irish sea with southern Irish border guards at the ports
N Ireland will be part of the EU for trade but part of UK for politics
Can’t wait to southern Irish guards checking g rangers and cleric fans crossing over for the fitba
Looks like it’s passe to refer to the video presentation, but it’s utterly depressing. Hope when newish political movements mature, they don’t start to resemble this !
A follow – up on who now owns the PPP contracts, and the gross profiteering, would also make interesting listening.
Loving the front pages of the newspapers today.
The National is BRILLIANT – Blank page – this is the UK’s Brexit plan – geddit?
The Daily Record thinks it’s pantomime time
Brexit supporting papers have lots of squirrel articles.
But the ‘broadsheets’ actually think May could be gone this weekend – fingers crossed, although who will replace her- Rees-Mogg?
Meanwhile, in the real world… Trump may be about to tip the Middle East into turmoil with his Jerusalem announcement and simultaneously, he is winding up N. Korea as more than half of the population of Yemen is dying from hunger and the Western world is going into shopping meltdown for Christmas.
What a mess the human race creates!
