I normally find much common ground with your comments, Winter; but if you're telling me it's wrong to highlight the need for tolerance, ( educate ) then, I definitely can't agree with you.
As for prioritising our spending? Yes, that's fair comment. Thing is, though, it opens up the debate as to why the amount of money available to The Scottish Government is a decision for Westminster and Westminster alone.
Regardless of which party was in control, ( not power, simply because power devolved is power retained) , ultimately, they are hamstrung by NOT having access to Scotland's considerable wealth.
