Letter to Ross Greer of Scottish Greens (twitter wouldn't let me send privately)

Hullo Ross

Ah'm a fellow supporter o' independence an Green voter.. Ah'm fæ Dumbarton sa 'Scotland West' which yursel is tæ represent mæ.. glady :).. Ah huv two points Ah wid like tæ share wæ ye an Ah hope ye dinnæ mind mæ dæn it here.

Wan:

If awe electricity wis free fur domestic residents (no business) the Scottish people *stop* gettin a sæy in how that electricity is generate'yt. Sa then it kin bæ bi Green means. If we hud a system where.. folk hud tæ pæy a wan aff bill a year fur maintenance.. sæy.. £100/200 a year tæ pæy fur the wages o' the folk that maintain the 'green machines'.. this wid bæ doon fæ ma yearly bill o' aboot £1500.

Tories unner Thatcher selt aff awe oor Hydro power fur pennies. In an independent Scotland Ah wid love tæ see the Greens hæ a law o' reclamation o' oor resources. Scotlund hus 30,000 loȝhs.. 30,000! awe o' thum ready tæ power a generator tæ provide 100% green power! Bit we need tæ git rid o' the rights selt oot bi the Tories in 1989.

Imagine the byline!

'Greens will give FREE electricity to all of Scotland's private citizens!'

Thyt wid stir up a few votes fæ folk thyt widnæ normally bæ interest'yt!

Twa:

EV motors o' 250w ur a total joke! Thys is Scotlund! huv ye seen the hills? Næ badness Ross.. and it wis an EU law.. bit there's a big difference atween the sooth o' France and hills o' Scotlund.. Ah'm pro-EU masel.. bit Ah wa'nt thyt law wæ us. 250w.. ye wa'nt tæ bæ mad! Ah need 500w-750w bike jist tæ git aboot Dumbarton.

Problem is the EU didnæ acoont fur Power to Weight ratio.. Ah'm a big lad (6'4'') and Ah'm disabled wæ sleep apnoea.. sa Ah'm knackered awe the time. There is næ wæy.. Ah kin lift a heavy EV up an doon the stairs tæ ma flat.. an leen it ootside is the quickest wæy tæ git it nicked. If it wis a car it's less likely tæ git nicked. An yon mobility vehicles ur a pure beamer unless ye ur 70yo +.. Ah'm 45yo. A EV car Ah step oot wæ ma dignity intact.

It wid bæ better fur masel if Ah hud an EV car that wis limited tæ 15.5mph* (næ licence oar insurance oar road tax need'yt) that Ah could drive oan A roads (single) and B roads.. and cycle paths.. aboot cycle paths:

It wid bæ great if these were 'C roads' fur bæth pedal and EV bikes, trikes and velociped cars.. China does wans fur wan and hauf grand. The West Cycle Path is a joke.. it is cut up an næwan hus thought aboot it since the 90s (it hus bits o' 70s and 90s an big bits cut oot it.. due tæ new developments) 

Ah suggest a new West Cycle Path.. which hus a pavement side walk fur pedestrians.. bit a road fur pedal and EV vehicles a'naw.. wæ cut ins tæ let o'er traffic by. A smaller version fur wan oar two person vehicles thyt ur limited tæ 15.5mph electronically.. done wæ the code and no the stupyt motor.

Here is a picture o a remnant o' the plans left ower fæ the 70s.. it wis fur pedal vehicles an pedestrians.

Ah suggest.. a new West Cycle Path build fæ scratch tæ look lit thys. Aye we kin use the areas that ur still workin'.. sa when Ah sæy 'fæ scratch' wit Ah really mean is.. theres loads o' places thyt urnæ fit fur use anymær.

Anyhoo.. afore Ah talk yur ear aff..

Hanks fur readin' Ross and GL wæ the upcomin election.. an yur stint oan Taggart as a villain ;) .. Ah mind thyt pic.. thyt wis too funny!

fur realz.. cheers mate :)

Dava

If ye need thys in hInglish.. jist sæy an Ah'll dæ it again, næ worries.
If you need this in English, just say and I will do it again, no worries.

Tæ bæ honest.. Ah'm no caring aboot some daft meetin'.. look how much heat the FM goat fur wit? Meanwhile at Westminster: 1. In 2017 the English Tories had those leaked documents about: 1a. who was sleeping with civil servants.. nothing happened. 1.b who was cheating the system to profit themselves.. nothing happened! 2. The English Tories broke the Scotland Act 1998 under Theresa May.. nothing happened. 3.Theresa May's husband gets billion pound government contracts for the Capital Group.. nothing happened. 4. B.Johnson illegally prorogued Westminster.. nothing happened. 5. Not to mention the English Tories covering up pedophilia at the BBC.. nothing happened. 6. 2 Billion on crony PPE contracts to friends*.. nothing happened. 7. 11 million to Ferry Companies with no ferries.. nothing happened. 8. don't I remember there being an article about B.Johnson paying £126,000 of public money to a 'lady friend' to be his mistress..

How much money does Scotland contribute to the UK?

Originally answered: How much money does Scotland contribute to the UK?
(Quora Aug 2019  Folla mæ on ma Quora ) 

Hi

To answer, The Scottish Government gets a bloc grant of 28.8 billion per year, they also ‘borrow’ a further 7 billion from the tax raised in Scotland of 68.6 billion. Westminster spends the rest ‘on Scotland’s behalf’.. which means Westminster spends 32.8 billion pounds of Scotland’s taxes.

On what exactly?.. it certainly isn’t on Scotland or for Scotland’s benefit, that I can see. In fact I can say whatever I like.. because Westminster refuses to publish any figures.. let alone detailed figures on what Scotland’s money is spent on. The GERS figures are generated by the Scottish Government, who have to take on good faith what Westminster are telling them.

Never.. NEVER have Westminster divulged what they spend that money on.. except former civil servants talking about how Scotland’s oil money went to refurbish London in the 1970s.

So London then?..

‘My argument to the Chancellor, my argument to the treasury, is that a pound spent in Croydon, is *far more* of value to the country, from a strict utilitarian calculus than a pound spent in Strathclyde, indeed, you will generate jobs and growth in Strathclyde far more effectively if you invest in Hackney or in Croydon or in other parts of London..’Boris Johnson while the mayor of the English capital:

So the poorest constituent country of the ‘UK’ goes to feed the already wealthy English capital? Imperialists at it again.

How much money does Scotland contribute to the UK?

Norway (with less of the North Sea than Scotland) has a £300-600 Billion oil fund.. Scotland has £0. Where did it go? similar population as Scotland.. but £300–600 Billion put away for a rainy day.

Decade after decade of all Scotland.. yes Scotland’s oil being pumped into London.. just look how small a section Norway has.. and they have the above..

With (educated guess) 1/20th the amount of resources. Norway has a 1 Trillion Dollar Public Fund. And Scotland has severe poverty.

The ONS has shown Scotland is the poorest constituent country of the UK:

“Q: Which country of the Kingdom has the most resources per head of population?

A : Scotland

Q: Which country of the Kingdom is the poorest?

A: Scotland

Q: Which area of the Kingdom has the least resources per head of population?

A: London and the South East

Q: Which area of the Kingdom is the richest?

A: London and the South East

So where does the money go?

A: London to pay for the 10 times wages of everyone there. To feed already wealthy upper class Imperialists. Don't believe me?.. just look at the graphic!

Taxes

The above equals £68,614,000,000 (per year)

The Scottish Government get a bloc grant of 28.8 Billion and ‘borrow’ a further 7 Billion.. but this is from the tax we already generate. The Scottish Government publishes papers showing where the money went.. so far that’s 35.8 Billion accounted for. Westminster spends the rest on Scotland’s behalf.. Scotland’s behalf.. however there is no figures by Westminster saying what on earth they spend that 32.8 Billion generated by Scotland.. Westminster refuses to publish an account of what they spend it on..I’m guessing ferry companies with no ferries, giving out beefy billion pound contracts to weapons manufacturers and feeding London ten times the wages for the same job as elsewhere in this [sarcasm] totally believable ..equal union.

The Barnett formula sounds fair.. until you find out the Barnett Formula only takes account of allocated spending budget. This ‘budget’ is a made up figure.. it could be anything as it is not based on incoming tax only the allocation that the English Government gives it.. they could take in 1 Trillion and allocate three toffees and a pack of crisps..The thought we get 75 Billion in taxes spent on us.. I find preposterous.. but since no one not even the Scottish Government know what Westminster spend our money on (or can prove it in court).. it’s a kind of thing.. to take your aggressor at their word and overcome them despite our suspicion of their lies.The max spent on our share of defense should be 3% of GDP, as this is the rate for all western countries and is normal.. around 2 Billion.

Unaccounted money. A country in poverty. SAOR ALBA.

Peace

Scotland also has just under 1/3rd of Europe’s Green Energy.. not just the Kingdom’s but the whole continent’s Green Energy. This is a commodity and can be sold like any other such as oil, but will never run out.

 Hullo 

The Scottish Electoral System in Action.

Ays the guy tæ first draw attention tæ oor elegant votin' system some years ago.. see link above .. Ah wa'nt tæ draw attention tæ oor votin system wance mær. Ah huv seen folk talkin aboot SNP1&2 oar SNP1 Green2. Ah hope tæ share a few thoughts here.. as no everywan is familiar wæ oor version o' the D'Hondt AMS.

*(An dæ yez mind o' Kezia Dugdale introducin tactical votin in the first place? flip! )

Wi huv 4 indy hærtlunds..Dundee, West Dunbartonshire, Glæsga an' North Lanarkshire. These ur safe seats fur the SNP.. but mind if yur a Nationalist campaigner, it jist takes no carin' tæ turn it aboot.

Afore anywan sæys yur bein' officious an presumptuous..these ur SUGGESTIONS ONLY.. dæ wit ye wa'nt! Noo masel.. Ah like tæ caw oor regions 'states' coz jist drap the pretense o' wit they wir.. coz thyt's wit they wir afore they goat bunked in 2014. 

Sa we huv 12 states each wæ their æn capital city..

Which would Ah recommend coz no every horse is the horse ye rode iyn oan.. horses fur courses..
Gaun wæ the facts no the fantasies:

North tæ Sooth:

Shetland SNP 1&2

Orkney SNP 1&2

Na h-Eileanan Siar/Iar (Eileanan Hebrides, Western Isles) SNP1&2

Highland SNP1&2

Grampian SNP1 Green2

Tayside and Angus SNP1 Green2

Strathclyde SNP1&2 (coz somewan stupytly absorbed a loada Strathclyde intæ 'South Scotland' if yur 'West Scotland' North Strathclyde SNP1 Green2)

Central SNP1 Green2

Fife SNP1 Green2

Lothian SNP1 Green2

Borders SNP 1&2

Dumfries and Galloway SNP 1&2

Specifically

Orkney,  Shetland, Aberdeen City, Borders, Dumfries & Galloway, Edinburȝh right need yon SNP 1&2.

Sa apært fæ the changes in regional member zonin' Ah obviously support tæ go bi state and no wit crazy hing's bin cooked up here.. there's a general rule: IF YE KEN WELL where ye yur an' ken SNP regional is a wast'yt vote (ays per the pic above).. then dæ SNP1 Green 2. IF YE URNÆ SURE.. dæ SNP1&2!

In the regional right picture: 
If ye see Green and næ SNP.. vote Green fur the regional!  If ye see næ Green and næ SNP.. vote Green fur the regional! An ayt *awe* times vote SNP 1!

If anywan spots a mistake.. coz Ah'm only human.. an Ah DÆ mean mistake.. no 'jist awe dæ SNP1&2!' patter.. gee mæ a heids up.. Ah'd appreciate it.

Sidehing:

Honestly wi hud states fur years! An næwan thought tæ make the AMS state based?? doolally! Needs fixed.

Need tæ oust Jackie Baillie here in Dumbarton.. loada folk here support independence an she couldnæ gee a toffee fig! SNP 1 tæ oust her and Green 2 tæ no waste ma vote but.. Ah really like the Greens a'naw especially Patrig Hærvie.. he seems lit a guid guy. Allies iyn the fight! Gettin oor budget ower the finish line tæ.. dinnæ forget thyt!
