This is the final entry for the National Blog Posting Month 2022. It has been fun, and I think I managed a good variety of postings. I hope you enjoyed it. I may try to continue to post every day, if I can.
Meanwhile, November 30th is St Andrew's Day, the patron saint of railway level crossings, Scotland and a few other places besides. I am being slightly tongue-in-cheek because of the current debate in Scotland on the subject of independence. A generation is something that spans a couple of weeks in the political party that is obsessed with independence for Scotland, to the detriment of all other responsibilities of government. Our members of parliament, both of SNP hue, both excel in either absence or fatuous uselessness. The disaster that is our ferry service has been contributed to by a breathtaking example of the above shift in the taking of responsibility. Two ferries were ordered to be built in 2015, for delivery in 2018. The order was granted to a yard in Port Glasgow, which is still building the wretched vessels, due for delivery in 2024. Ferguson's were granted the order because they were Scottish. Not on account of technical or financial suitability, on account of which the yard should never have been awarded the contract.
