Scotland and dictator Sturgeon

[Baldbloke]

Not much gets me angry but the SNP certainly can.

Recently they’ve been arrogant enough to pass a bill to make all homeowners install interlinked fire/smoke and Co2 alarms, no matter how new or what set up you’ve already got in place. All supposedly in the wake of a high rise flat with outer cladding going up in smoke. Because of the outcry over this imposition on peoples personal ownership and living area they’ve since admitted no one will be criminalised for ignoring the legislation.

Today they’ve announced the proposal of another Bill to ensure all homes that are rented out or sold are up to a minimum of being C rated prior to being let or marketed. This possibly to pander to their Green Allies to whom they rely on for their majority in pushing through their legislation.

I do wonder what response Central Government would get trying to impose this crap on the English?

 

The Nats have already failed in their Named Person bollocks which was basically a big brother is watching you scenario, but I’m now absolutely gobsmacked that fellow Scots will put up with such an intrusive and domineering administration interfering with their lives.

SNP Humza Yousaf, who last year fronted their Hate Crime Bill, admitted that he was hoping to use modern technology by utilising peoples’ own Lexa and Hey Google type appliances in helping to prosecute Hate Crimes. There was also the anomaly of having to appear in court to answer charges, with the assumption of guilt until proven otherwise.

This is scary shit.

Allowing for such a third rate Green Party ( that attracts so little of the vote) in getting such a say over how Scotland is run just because the Nats can’t get a majority is also an insult to us voters.

You guys and girls in England might think you’re being taken for a ride by Boris, but I can assure you there’s much more dangerous c”””” running Scotland.

I don't feel I am very good at putting these things into words but there does seem to be a change where worldwide, Western type governments are leaning towards dictatorship practices.

I said it all along throughout the Covid bollocks- that bitch is power hungry and dangerous. The Welsh tosser isn't much better either.

 

Devoloution needs to be stopped. Either all out independence, sink or swim, or back 'under the yoke' of Westminster.

As this has absolutely nothing to do with trees, I am delighting already in the time I will save by not engaging with this thread at all from here on in.

Supposedly Sturgeon is being pushed by the devoted to publish a White Paper on Independence. The current issue is how to address pensions for the multitude of elderly Scots after independence when there aren’t enough contributors. Bunter Blackford however seems to think there’s a big pension pot to access rather than the actuality of the present status quo of day to day funding.

You do wonder what will happen to these estates and vast houses in an independent Scotland. Not many owners of these big houses can keep them wind and watertight, let alone bring them up to an insulated standard where they’d be rated C.

One thing rings true for the likes of Jimmy Kranky and similar...they like to shout a lot but then ignore the electorate if they dare to go against them.. Gtr Manchester has Andy Burham trying to shaft folks but unwilling to listen to reason. You look up sociopathy and the parallels with too many politicians is scary.

I would hazard a guess that a damn large percentage of houses out there are below C rated and many will never be able to achieve it and make the investment cost effective.

Most older houses won't suit current heat pumps, the best that can be done is LED lighting, double glazing and thicker loft insulation - the rest of it just isn't cost effective.

If you look at housing on Rightmove, if you find an EPC rating of C, the house is generally a new build or has some form of solar panels on its roof.

The sad thing is that doing this is pissing in the wind as the decimation of the rain forests and the Chinese manufacturing machine bulging out shyte in to the atmosphere are by far the higher causes of global warning. Best save the £££ and fund the Brazilians etc to halt deforestation and to plant loads of trees to turn it back and better not mention overpopulation!!!
