I know. The money just grows on trees here in Scotland.
Nicola Sturgeon could be next British PM

Not in winter.
I would imagine quite a few would argue for the charge of treason to be applied if she were. Not that she ever would be elected PM.

We're still waiting for Sturgeon to give it a go. She spends much of her time moaning about Westminster and trying to get involved in matters that are outwith her remit as FM. Try to get her to do something about the declining standards in education, and she's off on some foreign jolly to hold an informal meeting with a very junior European politician. And then there's the selfies with the faithful.
All she does is insist she wants to be judged on her record, and when people pull her up on her dubious record, she replies "look at the polls".
Is the OP aware that many museums in England and Wales are also free to enter? It was a big Labour policy, and they didn't limit it to Scotland.

Remind me what experience Tony Blair had before becoming PM.

makes sense. England is a country in tatters right now. Xenophobic Muslim-racists shooting themselves in the head, having to choose between "Austerity £995 trousers" May and "unshaven socialist Corbyn".
Scotland is a thriving paradise, I visited Edinburgh a few weeks ago, people just getting on with their lives, free art galleries and museums, people of all cultures wandering around, free prescriptions, more and more care workers getting the National Living Wage, and excellent tram and transport systems.
I think English people fed up of the May (Trump) and Corbyn (Clinton) choice and who are still a bit annoyed at Lib Dems and who don't quite agree fully with Greens (despite them being the best choice) may celebrate the arrival of a new party standing for the people.

Is Sturgeon a total loon, and as for you OP I live in Edinburgh and I'm sorry but the place you visited was not the Edinburgh I know, did you perhaps wander into Brigadoon?
The trams are a billion quid embarrassment, hardly used by locals and tourists, the people of culture we see are Romanian and Bulgarian beggars and they are everywhere, Scotland is not a thriving paradise its a financial mess, the police force is a demoralised mess, the ohs under the SNP has deteriorated to the point that many good staff have left, the hospitals are badly managed and our own royal infirmary at little France is a dirty rat infested joke.
Edinburgh for its residents is an expensive filthy hovel, the streets are dirty, the schools are unsafe to the point a child died because funding for school repairs was diverted to help the tram project, the Edinburgh/Scotland you speak of is a myth and please don't believe that so called xenophobia does not exist in Scotland because it does and its very in your face from some quarters, Scotland is in tatters, in fact I would take North Korea over the SNP nightmare.
A fair point about racism is that I have only experienced it from SNP swivel eye loons at work,

Just look at Nick Griffins bio because they are both cut from the same racist cloth and their achievements are roughly the same.

Nice buildings shame about the cleanliness, oh I forgot to mention the council, corrupt labour and SNP councillors taking bribes, one councillor even tried to cover up a pervert teacher scandal at Castlebrae secondary because said councillor for the area David walker was friendly with one of those involved.
Then there is the Lothian buses debacle, the security firm run by a jailed nonce and friend of walker that is skimming money from contracts to fund illegal activities.
Edinburgh at its worst.

I think Edinburgh might be the jewel in the crown if friends of mine are anything to go by. The guy is of Scottish descent with relatives living there when he and his wife decided to leave Lincolnshire and migrate. They weren't there that long, in what one might think was a nice area, yet they decided to move; I recall being told the ambition was to get on the dole.
I had an email from them only a few days ago, which said, "If you thing the NHS is bad down there, try coming up here". It then went on to say "They're either alcoholics, junkies or morbidly obese, sometimes all 3 at once. Get them off the booze or drugs and they OD on deep fried mars bars, chocolate pizzas and anything else that can be battered and fried. And then they wash it all down with Irn Bru. The scary thing is I'm starting to think the Scottish accent is normal. Pray for me."
Now that may be OTT but having run a business in Corby, Northants, a massively Scottish town for years, I can appreciate what I'm being told.
Something tells me they may move back.

So you don't believe she is racist then well I beg to disagree, she is hideously racist in tone towards the English, a most divisive hideous excuse and Scotlands eternal shame is what she is.
The SNP & BNP are different but only by one letter in their abbreviated names, I know first hand exactly what its like to be subjected to racism because of my English background by SNP supporters.

You don't have to live in Scotland to get that, it used to happen in Corby.

Racism card nonsense being spouted as usual. Put a bit of evidence of this happening from the FM....oh that's right you can't can you?
North Korea indeed! You talk a lot about 'total loons'. Amongst other things, it appears you are seriously deficient in self-awareness.

Scotland have already hit that target with their GDP.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...-independence/
24 August 2016
Official data released on Wednesday shows that Scotland is in the red to the tune of 9.5 per cent of its GDP, compared to four per cent for the UK as a whole. The figure is understood to be the highest in the EU, after Greece at 7.2 per cent of GDP and Spain at 5.1 per cent.

Quite incredible isn't it?
If those figures are to be believed then UK Governments really have done a terrible job running Scotland's economy.
