In all the analysis of the relationship between Swinney and Trump, it is seldom remarked that Trump owes his golf course to Swinney who agreed to call it in AFTER Council had agreed to refuse it. Trump understands that and is forever grateful. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good afternoon, @scothousingday.bsky.social. I wonder if you could possibly tell me who you are and who you represent? I can't see any details on your website.

Do you have a trading entity on Companies House at all?

Cheers!

Overlander @overlander.bsky.social · Aug 17

You so have.

"Here’s the strategy. Join the Lib Dems, Greens, SNP or Plaid Cymru."

Sweet summer child you have learning to do. Few parties are less democratic than the SNP.

One place I worked allowed a rather over-inflated person to have the title Group Operations Director.

Engaging with the institutions of modern civic greener fairer Scotland is a test of the mettle of any man. Incompetent, officious, untouchable and malicious by turns.

All to protect the professional and managerial class from having to tackle the rich and powerful.
