WHO? What on earth did Wee Eck (I presume you intend this )have to do with this? This purchase is surely what happens when a competent business is able to take a decisive action. Nothing to do with any politician. Especially one who is actively dividing the Nation--- and by that I mean Scotland!

Ah, Sydney you have revealed your hand. Just another online ultra-Nat (albeit one who only appears to read the Evening Times). So why doesn't Salmond save the Glasgow jobs too (which mostly aren't actually being lost) then? Or perhaps he didn't actually have anything to do with the saving of these Cumbernauld jobs?

When a non-Labour politician has nothing to do with a piece of good news, he gets credit for it.
The story can always be twisted to suit the individual agenda.

This decision has everything to do with politicians and the government. Do you really think that Scottish and Southern Energy are doing this out of good for the workforce or has it something to do with the multi million pound grant they got from the government to save these jobs. Lets not forget that there is a production factory in Irvine who have received a million pound grant to help with redundancies as they are closing and the same company is getting a multi million pound grant from the British government because they are opening a brand new factory in Northern Ireland doing exactly the same production. The taxpayer paying twice just because a company decided it could make more money if it moved across the water.

Did SSE get a grant for this, Kudos? Maybe they did but the Government would have to have reveal that (ant it's not mentioned here).
Who's getting a grant "to help with redundancies"?

Did you know that pirahna fish are actually quite placid individuals? They are known for their sharp teeth and an aggressive appetite for meat. However, despite the negative Hollywood publicity piranhas recive, they are not generally violent, and have been known to be domesticated in home and office fish tanks.
Seems a few wily piranha chaps have got the internet at home now , and live amongst us! I know all this, as my goldfish has insider information. shhh, don't tell anyone. This thread was a secret mission

Well irrespective of the agenda's of some of the above... Lets all be happy for the workforce in Cumbernauld, part of Greater Glasgow (Sydney) that they no longer face redundancy!

Typical of that politician to creep in and steel the glory of a company that worked hard to save 800 jobs. Tell him to go to Trump.
