NEW: Scottish government drops Saltire from all comms because of its resemblance to Russian naval flag.

Staff were told in an email it's been "urgently" withdrawn and should not be used "under any circumstances'https://t.co/PDbFKQw9Xb

How "odd" that they have airbrushed "Oxford" from this!

Meanwhile in Scotland..

Nicola Sturgeon has said that teachers’ grading of their pupils was “not credible” as she defended the lowering of marks for a quarter of all entries from Scottish students https://t.co/4e34POT5IX

My sympathies to the Scottish school students who didn't sit exams this year, but have had their grades for the non existent exams fucked up by bureaucrats!

Is Nicola Sturgeon a Laughing Stock?

Nicola Sturgeon appears to be becoming 'laughing stock' over her claim that the general election is not linked to independence.

That at least is the view of Ruth Davidson (Leader of the Scottish Tories).

A laughing stock?

Surely not!

The Sturgeon May Photo Opp - Spot The Difference

The same meeting, the same people; can you spot the difference?

Yes, that's right, Sturgeon is orange in the first one.

How is it the Daily Mail missed that???

Scottish Independence To Set Economy Back 10 Years

Scotland's economy would take up to 10 years to recover if the country became independent, according to the SNP's top economic adviser Andrew Wilson (who heads up the Growth Commission set up by Nicola Sturgeon to examine an independent Scotland's economic prospects).

This therefore begs the question why on earth does Sturgeon want independence?

Maybe she feels it is better for her to be a large fish in a very small pond (leading a Scotland that is out of the UK, out of the EU and out of NATO), rather than a small fish in a large one?

Scotland's Generational Problem

Question: When is "once in a generation" only little more than two years?

Answer: When it relates to a referendum result that doesn't suit Nicola Sturgeon!

Corbyn Denies Supporting Scottish Referendum

Now that Sturgeon is reportedly going to give Theresa May an ultimatum wrt Brexit and Scottish Independence, Corbyn now claims that he doesn't support a second Scottish referendum.

All of which is entirely irrelevant, as May will veto any referendum during Brexit.

Nicola Sturgeon is determined to repeat the referendum time and time again, until she gets the result that she wants.

The SNP Just Doesn't Get It!

@OpenEurope Confusing syllogism: If UK leaves EU, Scotland votes to leave UK, even as EU clearly says no Scotland in EU w/o UK? Got it!

SNP policy being to keep running referendums until they get the answer that they want.

Leadership By Example In Glasgow

As per the Evening Times, it appears that some Glaswegian councillors have a wee bit of reluctance paying their council tax bills:

"More than a third of Glasgow’s councillors have been rapped for failing to pay council tax, new figures show.

Over the past two years, 27 councillors have been sent reminder notices advising that they had fallen behind with payments.

The figures, obtained by Freedom of Information laws, show that 10 councillors had to be reminded to pay their council tax in 2013-2014 and 11 failed to make payments the following year.

So far this year – in four months – six councillors out of 75 have been sent reminder notices by the local authority."

This does not bode well for the finances of a country that wishes to become independent and manage its own affairs without subsidy from England.

Scotland's One Party State

In terms of membership relative to size of population, the SNP is the 2nd largest party in the world after the Chinese Communist Party.
