It did not require the power of Nostradamus to forsee an over-spend of the scale that is now being forecast for this building.

Given the overweening self-importance of our elected representatives, predictions that the cost to complete this building have risen from £50m to over £230m should surprise nobody.

What a way to start a democratic Scotland. How can they expect the public to have any confidence in either the body politic or in an autonomous Scotland ?

A plague on all their houses !!! If these stupid b******s screw up our best chance of self governance in 300 years, they should be put up against the wall .......... you know the rest.
