SNP, Slow Boats, Bridges and China


QIANXINAN, CHINA - JANUARY 17: Aerial view of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge on January 17, 2025 in Zhenfeng County, Qianxinan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province of China. China on January 17 finished the construction of the main structure of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in its southwestern Guizhou Province, which is set to become the world's tallest bridge. A project of Guizhou Transportation Investment Group Co., Ltd., the suspension bridge has a vertical height of 625 meters from the bridge deck down to the river surface. The 2,890-meter bridge, with a span of 1,420 meters, is also the world's largest span bridge to be built in a mountainous area. (Photo by Qu Honglun/China News Service/VCG via Getty Images)
SNP ministers have taken 10 years and spent £750 million on building two small Scottish ferries - one, the Glen Rosa,  is still not finished.

Meanwhile China has taken just three years and spent a reported £216 million on building the world's tallest bridge in Guizhou Province. 

To add insult to injury John Swinney has just rewarded all Scottish ministers with a £20,000 pay increase, but not one SNP minister has been held to account for the terrible waste of public money on Scotland's hugely expensive 'slow boats' for the isles.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
