        I read that article but don't understand what they mean by "redistribute the VAT windfall already received". What windfall? :scratch:

        Me neither! Mind you if I read anything which is remotely connected to our beloved Scottish Government I immediately discount it. Their wish is for everybody to have a warm safe affordable home. This wish has more to do with Utopia than Scotland. I would love to know what happened to The Scottish Government’s not for profit energy company they heralded was going to be our saviour. As per absolutely nothing, the amount of “gas” that they generate would be enough to heat the whole country.

          I really don't know what to say, TBH. I'm sort of stunned by the peculiarity of the collective response here. The sheer indifference from both members and mods to unsubstantiated accusations of me being both "far-right" and "racist" is quite alarming and perplexing. I'm an ethnic minority, an immigrant and the son of a refugee who has experienced racism on several occasions. Approximately 40% of my birthplace is occupied by a foreign power. Before I leave this forum, would Admin at least have the decency to delete the accusatory post? I've deleted my response to it. :dunno:

          Thanks,

          Nick

            Nick, it's a sign the argument is lost when someone throws the racist card in the ring.

              Could you not stay on the forum and 'ignore' the offending members, then you wouldn't have to be in contact with them any more.
              Some of us like you and have never thought or said anything bad about you. I would miss you if you left.

                Not sure if it is still there but we did have an ignore button a while back.
                It meant that you didn't see the other persons posts.

                  Yes there is an ignore button and I have used it on a horrible person I met on another forum. I don't wish to have anything to do with her ever again.

                      That's why I haven't got a mobile phone :biggrin:

                      Anyway we are getting off the topic now so before someone starts spouting about it I am going to switch off for a bit and make myself a cup of tea :dbgrtmb:

                      @Nikolaos I hope you stay ...

                            Good morning @Nikolaos I for one strongly resent your implications and as a Mod /Admin I am also a member so I am going to answer you, the mods as you call us have indeed have acted in a positive way already yesterday after a long disscussion and we as a TEAM never ever act with indifference its not in our make up:smile:
