im posting this because i would like the opinion of the varied international think tank that is "in-my-opinion" forumer this is the new scottish parliment building at holyrood in edinburgh it was designed by a now deceased spanish architect called enriqe morales the original estimate for the building was £40 million and in reality has now cost the people of scotland £437 million...over 10 times over budget given that there is 5 million people in scotland...2 million pensioners and 1 million children leaves 2 million tax payers...this building has cost me and every other tax payer £218.50 each given that the scottish parliment is a devolved government...meaning that it has limited powers and is essentially given a budget by the UK parliment at westminster...why the hell has it cost so much? they have no powers over immigration,health budgets or education budget...it is essentially a trumped up local authority or council it had over 200 member of the scottish parliment(msp's) some of which have great reputations by the way...6 were arrested this week for blocking the main entrance to the faslane nuclear base the roof of the building cost over the original estimate because the powers that be wanted the glass to be bomb proof incase of terrorist attack(id be surprised if al queda even knew of the buildings existence) back to the point and the questions i would like you to answer q1:jack mcconnell is the first minister of the scottish parliment(a scottish tony blair)...have you even heard of him q2:do you think that the building should have cost so much given the actual power of the people that will work in it and q3: do you even think it is a nice looking building cause i for one think it is an over designed ugly as sin cheap and tacky looking monstrosity [CLICK HERE TO VIEW THIS PICTURE] [CLICK HERE TO VIEW THIS PICTURE] [CLICK HERE TO VIEW THIS PICTURE] posted by the anomaly |

I never understood the need for a new building. I'm sure there are plenty of better uses for the money - like perhaps trying to get heart disease down so that they'll still have a population to represent. Anyway, you can watch your hard earned being spent live and direct at posted by Marl64 |
