I've been watching this latest bbc/unionist political incursion against the SNP govt re the ferries fiasco for the past few days and wondering, "What are these bastards really up to"???? I've no doubts there are probs on both sides of this argument and, being an ex contracts' assessor, I believe the Scot govt should have taken some additional advice from business groups/individuals to ensure the best workable deal was possible to get these ferries built plus ensure the future of the yard. However, when watching the biased form of the bbc and orchestrated unionist bile on Twitter together with their RW "lapdog" press, it becomes apparent this is a massive political attack. The ferry saga is admittedly not good and has cost more than it should have, but at the end of the day we will have ferries and a Scottish shipbuilding yard. Compare and contrast with the PPE fast traffic procurement scandal in Westminster and linked to Baroness Mone - bought £46M of PPE from China and sold it on for£122M quid - all useless stuff that was condemned after inspection. Dozens more dodgy contracts with Tories "stuffing their pockets". HS2 overspend as well???? Hinckley Power Station overspend????? Where is the same scrutiny???? Also note an element of financial reality from a Scottish perspective and be enlightened - THE SCOTCH WHISKY INDUSTRY LOSES ABOUT £240M EVERY 10-12 DAYS TO BRIT DUTY/HM EXCHEQUER ON A "CRIMINAL" 72% DUTY HIT ON OUR WHISKY EXPORTS!!!! We've been "robbed blind" for decades and yet still they attack us over ferries!!! Our larger neighbour's greedy, grasping establishment has "shafted Scotland" for a long, long, long time and these bastards view it as OK; these same people obviously don't mind their own kids growing up with a nuclear monstrosity at the bottom of their beds, or watching food banks appear faster than the daffodils of spring!! I just can't stand the tiny clique who "pull all the strings" in England and have made such a mess of things for more decades than anyone can remember. One can see that a ferry excess of £240M is literally a "drop in the ocean" compared to the complete and utter mis-use of public funds by the Tory and Labour govts led by one after the other anti-Scottish charlatans from Blair onwards. Praise the heavens we have no control of the huge oil income being stolen from "under our noses" for five decades now or we may look on Norway as our poorer northern cousins! 
Ohhhh for the joys of Scottish independence and a better country and society to follow - definitely the way to go!! The serious debates re self-determination must start soon!!
