Many of our local members rely on the Oil and Gas Industry for their livelihood, but we also recognise that we can't keep doing this to the planet for ever…
One of the ways we can offset the harm done by fossil fuels is Carbon Capture and Storage…
The North East of Scotland has been aware of this for a long, long time, we are ideally placed to do this using existing Oil and Gas infrastructure in reverse.
Things were looking good, until this happened in 2015…
Fast forward to a few months ago, when @theSNP and our friends in the @scottishgreens signed our co-operation deal the Scottish Tory Branch Office had this to say…
Graphics like this were splattered all over their Facebook and Twitter accounts warning of the chaos and economic impact to come…
They even admitted after 40 yrs of @theSNP telling everyone that it is Scotland's Oil...
But in a move that shocked precisely no-one it seems that the rug has been pulled from under the North East, and Scotland yet again!
The first Indyref was a period of hope and astounding levels of political engagement, and obviously the following day crushing disappointment. Yesterday was the 7th anniversary of the referendum, many Independence Campaigners took part in the @believeinscot day of Action…
Many Politicians on both sides of the debate commented to mark the Anniversary, those on the Indy side led by @NicolaSturgeon generally lamented the loss, but vowed to keep the hope alive…
As you can imagine certain members of the @ScotTories Branch Office approached this anniversary with their customary lack of grace. None more so that agitator in Chief Murdo Fraser MSP with this typical (and totally lacking in self-awareness) contribution….
Now Douglas is quite rightly concerned about Post Office branches closing, lack of access to cash etc.
And he quite rightly drew attention to it by raising it in Parliament and posing for a wee photo outside a local post office with a concerned look slapped all over his coupon.
But Douglas Lumsden would have done well to do a bit of research first…
Banking regulation, which led to the closure of bank branches in the first place is of course a reserved matter where he’d be better raising this with the UK Gov’t.
It’s been a struggle to find a Brexit Benefit, we were promised loads of them but they have thus far failed to materialise.
That is until today, as some of you may be aware before we became integrated with Europe we used to have the “Imperial System” for weights and measures.
Now from my standpoint the Imperial System was a bit confusing…
Money was counted in multiples of 6 and 12
Weight was counted in multiples of 7 and 14
Length was counted in multiples of 8 and 16
But when we integrated with Europe we (almost) adopted the Metric system. Now it doesn’t matter what you are counting, weighing or measuring using the Metric system it was all done in multiples of 10.
Many people who voted for Brexit in 2016 and who voted Tory in 2019 did so from a desire to "Take Back Control" of our Laws, our Money and our Borders!... 1/10
If you did vote that way, with…Northern Ireland kicking off again? Restaurants and Shops experiencing shortages? Livestock being killed but not slaughtered as they have gone unsold? Is this what you had in mind?... 2/10
Did you want to "Take Back Control" of our Laws so that Boris and Co. could suppress democracy by illegally proroguing Parliament, or with their Voter ID plans?... 3/10
Who, doesn't enjoy a Cheeky Nandos? those Peri Peri Salted Fries and nice spicy Chicken, what's not to like?
Well it seems that things are a bit tough for Nando's at the moment...
Restaurants all over England, Scotland and Wales are suffering shortages of supplies and they have had to close about 50 premises.
Prompting this tweet from Nando's HQ...
But hang on, if Twitter has limited characters why didn't Nando's just type "UK" instead?
Well that's because there is one area of the UK not suffering from a lack of reasonably priced spicy chicken and fries. Northern Ireland is still has easily accessible Cheeky Nando's...
