Seems perfectly innocent, even reasonable perhaps when put like that. 
 
But this is SNP territory and shouldn’t be taken as innocently as first presentation might suggest. 
 
After all, 2 squid on £200 hotel room is peanuts and completely insignificant. Not quite so insignificant on a £20/night hostel though. 
 
£2 today x the number of hotel accommodation beds in Scotland = a very tidy sum of money. How long before the SNP come to rely upon it, overspend it and before you know it, it’s £3 or £4 or £5 per night. 
 
The UK desperately needs tax simplification NOT more stand alone taxes. 

That’s a pretty shallow swipe at the snp, just for the sake of it! They’re no better and no worse than any other political party, also they are where they are by virtue of your beloved democracy.

If this tax was targeted to the areas it is intended for (god forbid[emoji849]) it could go a long way to improving infrastructure I.e roads, litter facilities, public conveniences, all of which are diabolically lacking or in disrepair it could only be a good thing.
My old head hurts thinking about another seasonal influx of tourists that the island struggles to cope with.

It's the same for Stornoway, locals either can't get over to the mainland, or get back home. Ferry full of tourists, with fares subsidised by tax payers :confused1:

Yep all true, but I don’t mind the cheaper fares when I go to the western isles.[emoji3]

What a vile shitbag.

'Grime star' is the giveaway.

 

He should get life anyway just for going to court dressed like that.

Clearly zero respect or understanding of any basic human moral code.

And the rest. Euthanase him and save the money. He'll do nothing of good in his entire life on this planet anyway. What a piece of shit.

While I agree with the sentiment, I don't think euthanasia is the word you're looking for.
 

Euthanasia is an act of compassion.
