Follyrood parliament building


I blogged a few times last year on the 450 million waste of money that is Folyrood, so I thought I would have a look at the Scotsman to see how it was all going just now.

Apart from the usual problems with windows, stairways, gates, roofs etc etc, all is wonderful. It now costs 73 million and rising of our money a year to get all the snouts fed here.

Anyway the Scotsman now has 74, yes 74 pages of articles on the Holyrood building and its problems.

Revealed: MSPs' dubious claims


As usual we find those pretend politicians at the Scottish Parliament are trying to dig their snouts even deeper into the trough of our money.

Greg Gibbs, campaign director of the Taxpayers' Alliance, said he was astounded that MSPs were trying to get away with such frivolous and dubious claims.

He said:

"This is a classic case of MSPs not treating taxpayers' money as our money. As far as they see it, it is their money."

Also have a look here for even more stories.
