@JimQuirkESQ @JohnStuartWilso Also : remember the Scots rejected brexit. Got it anyway. And now everyone thinks a terrible idea. So. Y'know. Sometimes we vote correctly.

@JimQuirkESQ @JohnStuartWilso Like the Irish then?

@JohnStuartWilso @JimQuirkESQ Please explain why Scotland is unable to be am independent country like other similarly-sized nations.

@JimQuirkESQ Oh good. An expert. Please explain why Scotland is uniquely incapable of handling sovereign debt while other similarly-sized countries are not. Also, the UK government debt is currently £2.7tn.

@JimQuirkESQ Scotland doesn't have the borrowing powers of an independent nation. This is a verifiable fact.

@JimQuirkESQ ...put in context it's just shy of half a billion per annum. The UK government's borrowing for December '24 *alone* was just shy of £18bn. Half a billion wouldn't even buy a motorway between Glasgow and Edinburgh. But carry on with your ill-informed nonsense.

@AngusRobertson Oh oh! I know this! It's because we're not an independent nation with our own government borrowing powers isn't it?

@Basil_TGMD @Glinner @Miss_Snuffy Which state?

@EDCouncil Hi - I don't know what a garden waste permit. How do I get one?

@EDCouncil Hi - I have no method of transporting a 6ft tree anywhere. You provided kerbside pickup last year - why the change this year ?

@fionagrierson Saw it last Friday!

@ThomasMorrison @wyllie_cameron Here we go. The unspoken implication that private schools are somehow "better" and so need to be made more available to all.

@EDCouncil How do you expect us to get a 6ft tree to these places?

Loss of water in Twatt alert!

@RealBrysonGray Prove it.
