@pezmico more, it should be treated as fraud, and everyone who participates in it at any level should be treated as criminals.

Yes, I'm looking at you, #ScotGov.

@thecommongreen If #ScotGov cannot realistically do this because of borrowing restrictions, would there be scope for a ScotGov backed scheme (with some money/commercial loans/project management support) for local heating co-ops?

I imagine getting a bank to loan money for a heating co-op should be pretty easy – there would be good collateral.

[I'm thinking about how we use this policy area to gently steer ScotGov towards collectivist rather than commercial solutions]

@MacNaBracha To be fair, #ScotGov has managed to give away a lot of Scotland's offshore renewables at far below market rates without and help from London, in a scandal which will hurt Scotland's taxpayers far worse than the ferries mess.

I'm not saying I think any SNP politicians acted corruptly in this – I don't believe they did – but there's a level of incompetence that's almost as culpable as corruption.

It can't be enforced as its not yet been passed into law by #ScotGov

#Scottish politicians have the courage to #DecriminaliseDrugs, but #Westminster is too timid to let them

Objecting to #CapitalPunishment was once taboo too. Real change comes from politicians brave enough to speak up

@Glencoe this applies to #ScotGov as much as to any other government. The rich, who make their money from fossil fuels and related industries, have very effective lobbyists everywhere.

Scottish Government booting the restrictions on the sale of fireworks down the road for at least another year, bunch of pathetic fucking wankers, fuck the lot of them!

Maybe they should leave the decision for another year on whether they should attend the Coronation or not? 🤔
#Scotgov 👊💦💦💦

Scotland needs immigrants: where is it going to get them from?

England.

England has millions who have been radicalised by brexit: they are furious and living without hope.

Scotland can offer them hope: hope of a better future, independent of the UK and back in the EU.

#Scotgov should appeal to these people to move to Scotland and help us build independent #Scotland.

"In other words, there were no consultations aimed at the community. At best we will show up late in the process asking why no-one called, as we are now.

It is not unreasonable to ask to be treated in a way respectful of these realities" -- @webmink

This is a very serious failure of policy making -- in this case by #EU, but I have no confidence #ScotGov would do better.

@petealexharris @CloudyMrs @peterbrown @jynxf @lassielmr the numbers can't be expected to climb unless someone is presenting a clear, progressive vision for independence. At present, no one in #scotgov is doing so.

Consultation club will talk about the current energy strategy and just transition consultation from the Scottish government tonight. On zoom, everyone welcome, details here: https://common-weal-campaign-centre.mn.co/posts/32294652?utm_source=manual

#ScotGov opens consultation on ending the sale of peat in Scotland: https://consult.gov.scot/environment-forestry/ending-the-sale-of-peat/

So, beyond that, on a national energy company, #ScotGov are saying the Welsh national energy proposal is too small for Scotland's needs...

So we're going to do NOTHING!

WTF!?!?
