Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Does she think he came from another country in a boat without a visa? Does she want to deport the prime minister? 020
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah right. HS2 cost more than double that and they didn't even finish it.....who thinks this'll get off the ground? At best, it'll protect inside the M25 and maybe the home counties. You know, the only parts of the country they care about. 020
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Maybe they should stop buying Starbucks and avocado toast.....you can feed a family on 30p....it's obviously a budgeting issue.....they can't manage their money. 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Think Labour would have ruled out working with them anyway. Reform or the Tories on the other hand........ 1250
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It sounds like another banking situation. TalkTalk considered too big to fail, but this time rather than nationalising in all but name, they got BT to "buy" it while wiping out all debt.....sounds like a win-win for BT, which has always been too big to fail. 011
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 04/10/2026If they can't afford childcare, maybe they should stop buying avocado toast and Starbucks coffees. 090
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Farage stood for parliament about 40 thousand times before getting elected.....why should anyone else, even Zack, be any different. 0130
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Think tanks will parrot the lines of whoever finds them. After the Reform allegations on Channel 4, it seems pollsters do the same. Can either of them be trusted?them.be 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Because generally, young people don't vote Tory. When you get older, you navel gaze about "back in my day" 011

Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That's a relief, he was right about the tuition fee thing as well. 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Think there's plenty of people wanting to buy homes.....don't think there's very many will pass the affordability checks as house prices have outstripped wages for decades. Something has to give. Either wages shoot up..or house prices fall. If there's none getting built, it props up the price. 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Surely they're not protestors, just "concerned citizens" 220
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Just a thought.....the UK has spent the last 10 years calling Europeans enemies and coming up with ways to expel them all.... maybe they don't like us. 060
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 14/09/2026What do you mean in the future? We're all just a number now. 020
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Scotland is in a similar situation. But we can only send our electricity to England. The interconnectors are not big enough, they'd melt if we sent everything we could, so we have to switch off the wind farms and pay the companies for the privilege. 6523
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 06/09/2026"Died in exile in England" No wonder Farage wants to send him back to France....he was a refugee who came over in a boat! 110
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 03/09/2026And just like that, he's entitled to nearly £400 a day for life - tax free. 011
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 02/09/2026But yet in Britain, there's political parties clamouring for a US style system. 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 01/09/2026While not perfect....it seems a lot better than the privatised English system. (At least when I talk about it when I speak to my English based colleagues at work) 041
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 01/09/2026It's not Britain's water system.... Scotland's water system was never privatised. 2101
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 27/08/2026This sounds like the scheme the last government did. Ended up paying people off then bringing the same people in in lower or no wages. 000

Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Think I had that one. I always got oor wullie and the brooks for Christmas. Honestly, preferred oor wullie. 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 20/08/2026"Holyrood arithmetic and voting system for being a potential barrier to his party winning power" Remember how the voting system was designed to keep the SNP in opposition forever? 010
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Nothing like an EDF....was billed as that, but turns out it's an investment thing to get companies in. All Aberdeen got was an office, about 10 people and a brass plaque - not what was touted. 121
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 20/08/2026GB energy is only an investment platform, my hamster wheel can generate more electricity than they do. 111
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 19/08/2026This is the same guy who couldn't tell you if King Charles was British. 010
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Funny that.....back in 2014 Scotland was told it would be gone in 5 years....funny how the dates keep shifting..... 010
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 11/08/2026What methodology does it use? Apparently a lot of polls use the 2014 demographic weighting....which leads to a higher representation of the "No" vote. 241
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Space is so vast. It's like being in a boat in the middle of the Atlantic, leaning over the side and filling a cup and coming to the conclusion that there's no sharks anywhere in the ocean. 040
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 09/08/20262/ If we increase the rollout of solar panels and battery storage, it'll also increase energy security as the system would have better redundancy built in. There wouldn't be a single target for someone to target. 050
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 09/08/20261/ Decouple the electricity price from gas and institute regional pricing, based on where electricity is generated will bring down bills hugely. Will also help accelerate the move away from gas. 261
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Won't work, theyll continue to price gouge but write off some of the profits to "licensing" till they come down to whatever limit is set. Oh! And the same parent company will hold the license that they need. 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 31/07/2026It will be the same as every year since I was at school..30 years ago. If the pass mark goes up, opposition politicians will say the tests were too easy. If the pass mark goes down, they will say the education system is falling. All the time forgetting the pressure and effort of those sitting exams 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Surely being the leader of the council, it's reasonable to criticise him for council decisions. I'm sure if there was praise for a council decision that named him personally he wouldn't object? 020
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 29/07/2026How about they fix the leaks and invest some of those billions? 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 27/07/2026By that logic, imagine how much more money we'd have by working 12 hour days 7 days a week. We might even be able to afford to put the heating on...... 021
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Decouple the electricity cost from gas would be a start. Regional pricing would be better. 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Hopefully, they'll do it the same way Ashley took Rangers. Wait for them to go bust, then buy all the business and the assets, but none of the debt for £1 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Anyone who doesn't agree with Trump 100% on all things past, present and future is labelled as an extremist. 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I can see that making sense. Lower earners get more money in their pocket, they'll most likely spend it.....higher rate will most likely stick it on an ISA or offshore it. 000
Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Surely if TW goes bust, the gov can buy everything except the debt for £1? Sure that's what Mike Ashley did with Rangers? 092

Colin Thomson @colin1234.bsky.social · 16/07/2026What should have happened after the 2014 referendum was the HOC should have become the devolved English parliament, and the HoL should have been elected to deal with foreign affairs and defence. Everything else should have been at the devolved parliaments. 000
