'Oh dear' response heard by MSP after many Lorna Slater non-answers about Deposit Return Scheme

[@alanmajor130]

One incompetent woman who should not be in this position. Spending our money. Disgusting.

[@mrnice7570]

When you see utter incompetence encapsulated perfectly by one individual

[@davidcurrie8564]

more brains in a tailors dummy!

[@caberfeigh396]

To all you Scottish tax payers out there……you are getting shafted by this lot!

[@Preppyprinces25]

Yes

[@tackleberry357]

Do you not think most of the sensible ones among among us don't already know that, she is incompetent beyond belief however anytime you can't sleep just listen to her talking BS.....

[@jameshblack]

Sad to say majority rule in Scotland ( as with England) so we are governed by someone we did not vote for

[@blakeperkins8717]

We know 😢 many of us pay an extra 1% income tax for this mess

[@zoon1543]

She is an absolute beaut a prime example of how the SNP/ Greens couldn't run a bath 🤣🤣🤣

[@stewartross1233]

Couldn't agree more. We definitely dodged a bullet at the last referendum!

[@johnclarke-vs9qe]

Listening to Lorna Slater goes some way to explain how "things" cost so much due to the levels of bureaucracy in delivering almost anything.

[@alanmajor130]

In private industry she would be sacked Immediately.

[@pauldavies7251]

She would never have had the job in the first place, How does the person who won the vote in the election against dozy lorna feel

[@folly7533]

She wouldn’t have been employed in the first place.

[@macsmith6216]

Of course she wouldn’t these types of people are everywhere in upper management

[@martinmanifold2241]

All the SNP would ....sturgeon shouldve sacked useless several times

[@MrDannyyb]

Scotland used to be a proud country.... now we are governed by the likes of this Slater guy 😅😅😅ffs

[@pattyw4183]

How on earth, in a democracy, can an unelected incompetent individual end up in such a position of importance. Embarrassing.

[@robertwillis4061]

Because without the support of the Greens. Sturgeon and the SNP would not have had control of the Government. Slater and Harvie were given status as a thanks for the support. However they quickly realised that with that power, it was possible to push any agenda they want, as Sturgeon would rather see Scotland sink than be out of power. P.S. she may not be 1st Minister, but she is still running things

[@billgiles3261]

When I was a kid I used to get 3 old pence for returning a bottle. I don’t believe that the were a legion of highly paid civil servants to administer that scheme.

[@rosemarywalker924]

So is she saying we the Scottish payers will keep paying them for doing nothing until 2025 .

[@macsmith6216]

No she’s assuming Scottish businesses will That’s not going to happen

[@franniebob7269]

Yes indeed, SNP Business as usual.

[@georgemorrison9280]

Yes !

[@Bandit-md6hn]

About time she buggered off back to Canada and stopped defrauding the Scottish public

[@lindsayireland647]

That woman is a total waste of space

[@rutherglenbluebell5]

Slater must go !!

[@Lrs12359]

Local councils collect plastics, paper, cans and paid to do so as part of council tax

[@blakeperkins8717]

Council tax, which snp said in 2007 they were scrapping

[@georgemorrison9280]

Yep. Why can’t we just put them in the bin and the council can recycle and sell back the bottles , cans etc to whomso ever ?

[@gmesuk61]

I wonder how much CSL are paying SNP/Greens as I never heard of anyone else tendering for this

[@monkeynews8311]

Probably owned by one of their mates just like the company that get's 95% of SG public contracts.

[@mikeford1273]

Totally delusional!!. CSL might be needed, anyone whose involved in business knows this will never ever happen...i bet you.£50!!.

[@leslieashton77]

The woman is a complete rocket!

[@jamesmoyes5685]

Get that oot

[@hos65]

Last time I checked Scotland IS part of the UK so would it not be part of the UK scheme rather than be separate ftom it?

[@johnfisher7587]

Correct. Scotland is not independent and never will be. Can anybody see the SNP and Greens running a independent Scotland. I hope not

[@WeeShoeyDugless]

That had me baffled too😂😂😂

[@georgemorrison9280]

You beat me to it . Exactly what I was thinking .

[@stewartross1233]

She is throwing CSL under a bus!

[@vtechead1]

She needs to go on a very long holiday, this my way or no way attitude is doing Scotland no favours.

[@harveyneedleman817]

With a one way ticket

[@kevinmartin3859]

We already have companies picking up plastic and glass in their recycling routes

[@jameshblack]

Think they will be charge us to pick it up ? Renfrew council want £40 a year to pick up your brown bin ( garden waste ) if you don’t pay your bin do not get picked up . If you go to the local refuge centre they will charge you ; so stuff will be getting dumped everywhere , other councils are going the same way soon

[@derekedgley5074]

Why is she not allowed back into Canada?

[@ayeright320]

I think they've told her they've moved since she left and not given a forwarding address

[@BlackBuck777]

So to summarise - The overpaid, underemployed "Circularidy Scoland" is funded by "industry". They won't be needed for 2 years. I can't see "Industry" paying for nothing for that length of time.

[@draffyduck1]

Happy to give our money to a private company to do nothing until 2025. Aye, right.

[@westonharley1580]

Incompetence personified.

[@vanhooler358]

This woman is crazy, how in the hell do they get the jobs.

[@thepuddlejumper500]

The SNP needed additional seats so bring in people who came in third within their constituency elections.

[@pattyw4183]

Blame Nicola. An affront to democracy.

[@mrdunns3338]

On her knees?

[@garymunro7561]

Total scam.

[@williamsafari6437]

Slater should sell her expertise globally 😅

[@davidoldboy5425]

Do the green skills, circular economy and biodiversity include basic maths?

[@ayeright320]

Lorna only went to circus school I don't think they covered sums

[@tufty7663]

She is just said the money, is from private business and not from gov, no chance of Gov giving money to business, then business to scheme..

[@tpmbe]

horrendous ineptitude...Scotland deserves proper leaders. This is pathetic

[@mrnice7570]

Limousine Lorna wants you eating cricket burgers so she can fly her private jet around the world

[@denniss4609]

Slater is out of her depth

[@lapua2432]

In 2025 the biggest and only question Lorna Slater will need to remember to ask is "do you want salt and vinigar on your chips".

[@barryholloway8565]

Can the Scottish people are being brought to there knees by the corrupt greens

[@stevechick6129]

The SNP have taken Scots for fools for many years. Sad state of affairs all round.

[@mrdunns3338]

@@stevechick6129 The only Scots being taken for fools are the fools that are too foolish to realise that they're fools, in other words, snp voters. The rest of us, the majority, saw through the smoke and mirrors from the outset.

[@dave.john.1763]

Lorna you won't be around in 2025

[@Bandit-md6hn]

Makes you wonder what Harvie and Slater had on Sturgeon for her to let the two of them into the building, never mind into government .

[@georgemorrison9280]

She needed their votes. I believe there are seven of the blighters .

[@archieneill2773]

How long can this continue? This woman is clearly out of her depth. She can’t answer a question ad hoc, every reply is read out from a pre prepared script. Would it not be a kind to remove her from this position?

Will the UK scheme not be UK wide if not all schemes English, Welsh, Northern Irish and Scottish be similar and compatible. So how does she know the Scottish scheme will be compatible.

[@stuart207]

I find my trust eroded.

[@raymondleher7739]

Expertise? From Slater and co. Trying to pass the buck to the UK government, she is as mad as the proverbial hatter. She has consistently refused to give an honest answer as to what has been achieved as, (according to her) it's private businesses that have been dealing with this project as if it was their Idea and not hers. She has pushed this without putting together a fiscal and cohesive management team to bring this to fruition. Money that has been allocated and spent on this failed scheme (and we're talking about millions) has been pocketed by green chancers, with nothing to show for it but, it wasn't me but, it wasn't me but, Reminds me of Dundee city council of the 50s and 60s where nobody's collar wax felt because of systemic corruption aided by the local legal profession. It's time the for the fraud squad to add this to their other investigations.
