JustMe Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I am left wondering if this is a poisoned chalice for Alastair but I wish him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Knows Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Now that our MP is the top representative for Scotland in the cabinet that he might manage to persuade the Government to find the £40 million to clear SIC housing debt or at least the £10 million for the compromise suggestion?

I prefer the current situation, where it is guaranteed forever, myself. Rachel B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistymaud Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Carmichael told me about 4 years ago that we had nothing to worry about because it would never be privatised.I was pointing out that it could affect all manner of business in the islands never mind private individuals and ultimately affect the economy of the region if delivery services were allowed to cherry-pick. I think he just opens his mouth and lets words come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Post Offices throughout Yorkshire have closed, despite the PM in PMQs last Wednesday saying he has made sure none will shut. I have not researched anywhere else.AT is correct, the current system is already in place, it works. I cannot see DHL providing a bus service as well as a postal service as the Post Office has done. The Conservative party only represent one constituency in Scotland, the Lib Dems, 11, the majority are Labour and the SNP come 3rd. Also, Nick Clegg is sounding more and more like a Tory, after all, they are on the back foot as a party. If I had a God, I would pray for Scotland...

Mattie Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/bedroom-tax-cowardly-scots-lib-2786124Maybe Mr Carmichael and his fellow Lib Dems,, Should get their heads back in the clouds?Champagne breakfasts and lunches may be all the rage in Westminister!Not even the Clegg, turned up to vote against the bedroom tax!Pathetic!

Rivlins Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I see Alistair Carmichael turned up for the vote - and voted against the motion to scrap the bedroom tax! I suppose he has to watch what he does now he's managed to creep his way into the exalted position of Scottish Secretary, and not do anything too left-wing or annoy his snooty pals, the Tories. I'd like to see him ousted at the next General Election for all his conniving with the enemy but I think we know that whatever he says or does he'll get re-elected so long as he's running for the LibDems, since Orkney & Shetland is a notoriously "safe seat" ArabiaTerra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
