I would like to start this week’s column by thanking everyone who helped to make the recent UCI CyclingWhile I still believe I was right to point out in my previous column that it shouldn’t take a major event coming to Glasgow to fix our roads, the championships showcased us to the world.
However, on the whole, this was an event where Glasgow did itself proud once again in hosting a major sporting event, just as we did with the 2014 Commonwealth Games. We now know the astonishing costs of Scotland’s most recent census that took place last year on the SNP’s watch. Their decision to do so resulted in poor return rates across the board – with Glasgow’s return rate only reaching 81.7% by early June last year.the 90 per cent rate that isThe result of their botched decision-making is that it is set to cost an astonishing £140 million and taxpayers will foot the bill.of mismanaging major public projects and now the Census can be added to that list.
Ministers cannot escape from their failings on this. They must tell the public what lessons they have learned from this sorry debacle and that they are fully committed to holding future censuses as part of the UK-wide edition starting in 2031. It is simply disgraceful that so much civil servants’ time and resources are being wasted to help promote the SNP’s independence propaganda.Humza Yousaf should not be spending taxpayers’ money on these independence papers when he should be focused on tackling Scotland’s real priorities.
