Funding row over new Forth Road Bridge
SNP ministers have been challenged to detail how they will pay for the
new Forth Road Bridge after publishing legislation giving the project
the go-ahead.
By Simon Johnson, Scottish Political Editor
Published: 11:51AM GMT 18 Nov 2009

The Forth Crossing Bill states Scottish ministers will fund the bridge
using traditional means, by finding the money from their capital
budgets. However, with public spending set to be severely squeezed in
the aftermath of the recession, there is no indication where SNP
ministers will the cost of up to �2.3 billion.


Note: Guess who they want to pay for it.... Quite unfit to rule
themselves.

RESERVATIONS NOW!

Who do they want to pay for it, and do you have a source for your
answer?

By the way we are paying for your London Olympics - and that IS a
fact.

He is so predictable.
Tell you what though if the bridge was over the River Thames do you think
there would be any doubt about how it would be funded - or by whom?

As usual the idiot cannot differentiate between Britain and England. What's
more he cannot fathom that there is no such thing as English funding on the
books of GB.& Co.

The idiot has been claiming that for years but is so bloody stupid that he
has never been able to either explain it or give a citation.
Conclusive proof he is a couple of cards short of a full deck.

Indeed you have evaded it, soupcreature. Now, about those massive
English subsidies to Scotchland... RH

Do you think there is any danger that one day the numptie will come up with
some evidence to prove his claims?
That is besides his present daft attempt at stealing Scottish territory by
redrawing the international borders?

If you look at the post you will note that is not what he stated.

Why do you bother with the numptie?
He just repeats, ad nauseam, the same old unsupported claims.
In all the many years the idiot has posted those untrue things he has never
once posted a credible citation in support of any of hid claims.
The closest he ever got to a citation was to cite an article from, If memory
serves well, the Telegraph.
However, when you went to read his citation it did no more than what he,
Henderson, had done.
Made an unsubstantiated statement as if it was an act of faith.
What is even more incredible is the number of times, almost, every regular
poster has demolished Henderson's factitious claims with rock solid facts,
citations and valid arguments.
Next post Henderson just makes yet another unsubstantiated claim.
Why on Earth do you bother?
Of course the group idiot will now either sink to the level of Ad hominem or
launch into his own particular mentally ill version of medical fantasy.
