Quite a bit (circa £1.2bn) of (justified) infrastructure spending in the Aberdeen area on the AWPR over the past few years. Pretty sure that was almost entirely Scottish Government funding.

And the vast-majority of £1.2bn of Scottish Government money (our money) was spent on the AWPR by the the SNP administration. Link to comment

Delivered by the first ever SNP government Scotland had. Neither the Tories, Labour or the Lab/Lib coalition built it in those preceding 40 years. 2 Link to comment

Wake up. have you compared the UK wealth generated out of the the City of London with the rest of the country? It's the bit that props up the rest. Your expectation that central Scotland will invest in the NE before themselves is going to result in a Doric National Party in 10 years, 1 1 Link to comment

Aberdeen's wealth was spunked against the wall by Westminster when it sold the rights to explore and extract so cheaply without setting up a national oil company.

What is telling, is that her opposition to much of the SNP leadership's woke policies hasn't incurred the wrath of the FM and her circle. If Forbes were a heterosexual male, on the other hand, you can bet the wrath of the virtue signalling Murrell Mafia would be down on her so fast... Link to comment
