  • At Holyrood today Colin Smyth asked the Scottish Government what its position is on whether it is appropriate for the chief executive of Circularity Scotland to be paid a reported annual salary of £300,000
    Labour, Conservative and SNP MSPs were all aggrieved in the Chamber today as Lorna Slater repeatedly, again, failed to answer simple questions around the Deposit Retrun Scheme and Circularity Scotland's chief being paid a £300,00 a year salary.

    • @michaeld5888
      @michaeld5888 Před rokem +1

      Most companies that are supposedly for profit actually try to avoid them as profits are taxable and could be a benefit to the public. There was an example of a UK water company that had its financing repayments to its head office abroad fine tuned to the point that there was never any profit. This is just another example of how politicians and industry dance together for their own mutual benefit in their bid to outwit the public and to avoid resources going to the people that require them. In the same way a bank never lends money to someone that actually needs it. Most millionaires living the life of luxury in the same way never have any income or assets when it comes to a settlement. It is just an endless game played with no conscience or accountability.

    FFS can she not answer any question without reading a script, if I had a £1 for every time she says “not for profit organisation “ or “similar to other schemes around the world “ I think I would be very rich, similar to the chief executive for circularity Scotland. Get this incompetent, useless minister out of Government

    Evil Green liar and incompetent. She set the ratty scene up. No doubt she'll have pals or family who will benefit.

    Just embarrassing to watch that.

    I've waited for the day that this doctors receptionist was removed ; yesterday was that day. Strangely it didn't give me as much pleasure as I thought it would.
    It took way too long...

    All this is at such a low level for a Country's Parliament It is almost less important than items dealt with by a fair sized County Council.
    Why have the very special people of Scotland been subjected to this absolute WASTE of money and time.?
