mehall posted:I would also be surprised if an independent Scotland included the Queen in any form of the government beyond the most figurehead position possible, which would also make it easy to get rid of the position down the line. Queen will retain her position as Head of state. There's a whole section about it in the white paper. Way too many indy voters lean on "Well the SNP are saying and doing X but actually deep down they want Y so it's all ok*

OwlFancier posted:Apparently the disagreement was on "technical grounds" but I haven't found anything specifying them. They technically didn't want to do it. In other Scottish news, lol at the SNP saying ministers can't meet communities surrounding Mossmorran because of SEPA legal action, which was ongoing last year when ministers met with community groups..... Maybe one day the SNP will take environmental issues seriously and perhaps even stop peat extraction. Aramoro fucked around with this message at 10:43 on Feb 21, 2020 |

forkboy84 posted:I like that in your desperation to take a poo poo on the Nats you overlook the positive step of giving the vote to refugees at least. Which is a Green Party proposal so lets all continue to poo poo on the Nats. Like the Scottish Government is going to give me a massive interest free loan to do unnecessary work to my home but still approved new peat extraction just up the road from me. There's a joined up environmental policy right there.

forkboy84 posted:The Scottish Government paid for my parents to do entirely necessary work on their house to improve its insulation & it's loving ace. They are already using less oil. I will defend that one, it's a positive thing on stuff like their house which was built in the 30 when apparently they just built houses with lots of holes just in case you'd suffocate without them. Our house was built about 1900 so not great insulation wise and using less oil is also something we want to do so looking at getting an air source heat pump and redoing our sash windows, so they'll lend us £15K interest free to do that but only based on my income. Which is great for us, we don't need to save up the money for it. There's also the cashback scheme whereby you borrow £10K and only repay £7500, but again eligibility is based on income. It's very much a middle class benefit like the Cycle to Work Scheme where the more you earn the more you save. There's also the fact these loans do not payout until after the work in completed which means small companies cannot take them for payment generally. Just a little gently caress you to small companies there.

Guavanaut posted:Air source heat pumps are ridiculously expensive compared to air conditioners and it's wild. Air source heat pumps in an Air-Water system still only heat the water up to 50-55c. You're not getting 70c out of a heat pump anytime soon. They also cost more like £10K now but we're hoping to get in on a scheme that might drop it to £8K.

Guavanaut posted:I've seen smaller ones that are about the power capacity of a typical domestic air conditioner external unit for around £5-6k, I guess they're just for doing your shower and hot water, but yeah, ones that replace a whole boiler are even sillier prices at the moment, and if even those are only putting out 50-55C then that's alright for doing the dishes but it's going to mean serious reduction in heat output from your radiators. Yeah you need low temperature radiators or underfloor heating and potentially zone control so you're only heating the rooms you're in as well.

Guavanaut posted:Sounds like a giant faff tbh. Except you don't have any hot water? The alternative being heating oil, which is just a fancy name for diesel, which sits in a 1000l tank in your garden. I guess you could have an electric boiler for your hot water but that's a lot less efficient than a heat pump and suddenly you're back up to the same price anyway.

Gonzo McFee posted:Starmar will do worse. Who would do better though? I can see why Corbyn is not out and out backing RLB because that would just confirm her as Corbyn 2.0 which wouldn't be winning much either. Also why the gently caress is Ian Murray still a thing.

Wasn't this exactly the line of reasoning people in this very thread went down when it was said Corbyn wasn't electable? 'But he won the leadership election!' 'But he won his seat every year!' If those argument apply to Corbyn then they equally apply here.

Oh dear me posted:Harlequin ladybirds often have an M or W on the pronotum, too. And then there is Cassiopeia. You can't dismiss this all as coincidence! It is clearly the signature of our Almighty Creator, blessed be her name (Muriel). Harlequin Ladybirds and Rabbits share this weird but interesting thing that they could not survive in our climate until some event which we don't quite know happened and suddenly they could. We had rabbit for 1700 years being very carefully tended to and cared for then suddenly rabbits everywhere.

Nothingtoseehere posted:Starmer will be somewhere between a Milliband and a Kinnock. The Labour party is essentially dead in Scotland just now so there's no much to join. We just get to look on in morbid fascination as the party tears itself apart again. Thought that said, most of the posters here seem to be of the opinion that the far left is the majority opinion of the party and it's just some dastardly centrists keeping them down. When in reality the centrists hold the majority within the party. People have all this big talk about kicking out all the melts, but the melts ARE the party in effect.
