Scotland Head of State

Before I got to the end of your article I was going to suggest Billy Connolly. The mental picture of him addressing the European Parliament is a wonderful mind blast. Dyed hair, tartan trews and wellies. For his inaugural speech he could do one of his most outrageous routines. Imagine the look of confusion on their faces. Surely he would be better than little Krankie.

Cracked me up the other day reading that the UK are wanting to build a new coal station despite kidding on they want to move toward green energy sources 😂

And we also don’t want to be reliant on other countries for critical resources. Cant have it all ways.

Factor in the carbon footprint of importing and it reduces the impact.

It is a tough call, jobs for the working man while not helping the sustainability targets.

That's the thing - we ought to have steel making capability, we need coking coal, do it here providing jobs and as clean as possible or put on the blinkers and ship it in from China mined by ethnic minority prisoners.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We do but its Indian owned and makes massive losses
Most of what arrives in the UK comes from Europe and most of the base materials going in to europe come from Australia or Brazil
EU tariffs killed the importation from China so now they keep it to themselves and watch on as we run short and prices skyrocket
A few individuals in France Belgium a d Germany are getting very rich out of it mind you

----------------------------------------------------------------------
We aint in the EU any more, mate.

If as seems ever likely Independence is inevitable who do we think Scotlands Head of State would be.



The Queen, of course

God Bless Her.

He'd better be good at it cos her time is fast approaching.

It would be fantastic, obviously sadly as he admits himself he is at the end but Billy's Christmas speech would be something.

Certain tariffs/quota arrangements remain as part of the deal
And they have adjusted there needs to fit the supply
Automotive is up 30% so they can eat near as much as they make anyway

Not sure what any of that means but you sound like you know about it all.
