Budgeting lessons for the complete feckless.
WE do not have money for other peoples indulgence
Poverty for everyone in Scotland has been the SNP's priority - and they have been remarkably successful at bringing it about. They're way too modest.
The SNP sold any business worth while in Scotland and land to the Chinese they have destroyed our education system our councils our NHS our roads .
And now it seems they want someone else to pay for it! Of course it will go down as a great SNP achievement if the cap is removed, incompetence rewarded I guess!
Bit rich of the corrupt SNP to be saying what should be a priority. Maybe if the SNP didn’t waste so much money on a badly run vanity projects there’d be cash to deal with real problems in Scotland.
England is the 8th most populated country on earth per square mile, India is in 7th place. that sounds ridiculous doesn't it, but it's Fact.
because the whole 3 world are coming here and live for free...
52nd on this list:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population_density
And all these poor families have no mobile phones or 55 inch TV's or SKY? Yeah right. I worked on estates and went in these so called poor houses, full of the latest tech and always expensive trainers at the door. It's a scam for easy money!
Exactly
And they go on holiday every year
Sadly very very true and genuine people in need get ignored largely and pushed to the back of the que because of these people.....sound familiar?
Some are irresponsible yes but for some TV and subscriptions are their only form of leisure entertainment. Some families have never had a holiday, never even been to a beach. Most have never been to a cinema or even visited our capital so the TV is their world especially for the disabled. Yes some are but not ALL. Some are working bloody hard just to make ends meet which people overlook.
but illegal migrants have to come first
Terrible that.
@@andrewmcwatt7025 what is.?
@@hotdogdADDY-xg6bx everyone and their single mum trying to get a handout.
That was only under the tories
@@xaiano794😂
I keep hearing this double Dutch for donkey years. 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, they have had control of Scotland for 17 years, what have they achieved?
Free prescriptions/ free university education/ free school meals/ no sh*t pumped into their rivers. 😊
State owned railway / Improved Infrastructure / No councils going into administration / Affordable housing
Nothing.
They lowered life expectancy, Educational outcomes, centralized everything and indebted the nation by the maximum they were able. The suicide rate is up, and house ownership is down, and division and hate, corruption and theft have changed Scotland forever, but the drugs are stronger.
Why should we keep paying for other peoples leg overs ?
Priorities are: zero immigration, lots of defence spending, reduce the national debt.
I'm sorry remind me how the SNP did again? Why are they here, for Sky news to carry on the drama rather than letting us get on with some peace and quiet?
What did SNP do during government???
Stole Scottish people's money .
The labour benefit state sent this country into oblivion last time!
Get real - the last 14 years the national debt has soared into the £Trillions - that's since the Tories cam into power after a Labour administration managed to steady things after the Bankers caused a huge crash
Where are the Trillions that have been borrowed, because they havent been spent on public services, or improving national Education, Health or growth in jobs - has it all slid into hte back pockets of certain politicians?
We had a pandemic that's why😊
@@tenmen-fr1sh 👌
@@tenmen-fr1sh a pandemic in which the freely admitted that there had been such large scale fraud in many of the contracts that were handed out it ran into billions, but it would be too hard to get that money back - like £37 Billion on failed track and trace, for example
But the debt had reached a trillion before th pandemic ever hit - the Tories were already imposing austerity on the little people, yet increasing borrowing every year
The debt started growing under Cameron.
Parents on drugs is rife, don't give cash to parents or will always be poverty
Totally agree
No should not be a priority
The SNP with a complete lack of self awareness again. the gap between rich and poor is far greater in Scotland than in England.
If people can't afford to keep/raise/look after/maintain something.... please don't have it and expect society to pay for it.
they need a job
Work needs to pay proper wages.
There should be no such thing in the UK when did we become this stupid ?
why didnt they get voted in then!
Poverty has always been a priority like its the only thing they're letting us have
I shall never believe that what is founded on lies can endure for ever. I believe in truth. I'm sure that, in the long run, truth must be victorious.
SKY NEWS TURN OFF COMMENTS WHEN THEY POST VIDEOS OF IMMIGRANTS OR MUSLIMS. FOR THAT REASON IM BLOCKING THEM FROM MY FEED. GOODBYE FOREVER
Where’s My SNP Laptop?
It’s next to your SNP bicycle parked outside Nippy’s mother-in-law’s.
@@douglasmcintyre9908Oh!
Scotland could sell the campervan or get the money invested in the invisible ferry’s and pay for that
14 years of Tory's remember guys
Typical in this country
The SNP are over. The mandate is gone. No one cares about them.
Alba has attempted a take-over bid, but, as far as I could see, the policies were identical and being taken back into the EU gives me the chills.
It’s absolutely awful. My 8 year old nephew only gets £3.50 a week pocket money. How’s he supposed to live on that? 🤷🏼♂️
I wonder which demographic this would suit best????
It’s a proven fact that the native population of the UK isn’t having enough babies, who is and why are they in poverty.
No such thing
Why do we pay for Scottish benefits, They want home rule ...let them have it and stop begging off us.
No, overty is a distraction.
What is really needed is reduction in wealth inequality and greater taxation.
If anyone is saying anything else they are just providing lipservice
SNP ? is that still around, I believed they all drive Jags and moved to San Remo
Some of the gammonati commenting on this thread are completely clueless.
Tell everyone your a bigot without saying it
@@ganndeber1621 nope, just capable of critical thinking.
@@joaniesimpson2016 incapable
I thought independence was your priority?
Have SNP maxed out their tax raising powers? Nope. So they could raise taxes and do this themselves as a Scottish only "benefit".
Any poverty should be a priority.
Not when its self inflicted and people choose not to work
The sooner Scotland get independence the better bugger off.
Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith . . . We need believing people.
No morality without faith is an unsubstantiated claim.
The natives' birthrate is below 2.
all poverty should be prio
SNP spends decades LARP'ing for independence. but then they cry their eyes out when we leave the EU super state.
With friends like these who needs enemies?
Snp should stop stealing taxpayers money
007 is License to Shoplift given one is unlikely to be sent to Prison now
Yet again more right-wing bashing.
the wealth devise graphs between rich and poor shows us all exactly why we suffer terrible poverty.. its for the greed of the rich... no mistake about that. panama papers!
SNP usual rubbish !!!!!!!!!!
Kiddie Starver is a Tory.
Kiddie starva is a crap parent, not politics.
Birth control .
Keep making babies Waynetta.
1:53 stop giving Westminster an excuse Sophie
Less than what they send to Ukraine
Remigration should be
Totally agree with him.
This is ridiculous questioning
Yes
Savages burning Leeds doesn’t matter I see
Those who have no understanding of the political world around them have no right to criticise or complain
thats the snp then.
So basically everyone?
Red Tories
Taxing your citizens is not a means of raising money for public services. Governments raise money by issuing Government Bonds. Tax revenue is deleted. People need to get educated on this issue.
PS how the heck is Farage of all people in favour of scrapping this? Not very fascist of him. This is the definition of butter over guns.
Define fascist
The only differences between fascism and communism are nationalism vs internationalism and emphasis on extreme government regulation vs outright government ownership. Both oppose capitalism. If Farage is a fascist, it makes sense that he supports ending the cap.
@@user-qo8ci2ye6v Constantly supporting fascists in other countries
Opposition to the ECHR (supposedly because he wants to deport foreign criminals, but the ECHR protects British people far more than foreigners(
Opposition to free speech and protest unless it's your side
Demanding disproportionate punishments for petty offences, such as milkshaking
To name a few fascist traits Farage has.
To be fair, Farage is quite good at making himself seem not fascist. He even came somewhat close to persuading me to vote for Reform! (mainly because of the current options in the UK - I didn;t vote for them in the end)
Black lives matter should be even more important
Scotland fans in❤❤ g❤ermany 250 000 come on snp 😂😂😂😂
SNP an embarrassment just like our national team.
❤ Da english reporter is hot
SNP 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. SPENT MONEY 💰 ESLE WHEREAS?
