The world Cycling Championships in Glasgow cost way more than were budgeted for, but then all that champagne and caviar costs money!
[Applause] yes hi and welcome to another episode of hot takes with me the Silver Fox the good people of Glasgow will be relieved to know that the cycling World Championship that took place there last month only cost them 42 million all this so some men who like to
Shave their legs can go whiz on a bicycle meanwhile a lot of businesses lost money footfall was reduced some business couldn’t even open the roads were blocked and there seem to be very very few people actually interested in the event surely it would have been better to do it somewhere that wasn’t
The middle of a massive City and wouldn’t have caused nearly as much problems as it did not to say of course that 442 million of taxpayers money is A Drop in the Ocean especially for a country whose budget has got A1 billion pound black hole it strikes me that this
Was less about cycling and more about egos in the SNP look how important they are look how they can H host world events it’s all a circle jerk for these people isn’t it at public expense of course it’s not going to be a free circle jerk you’re expected to pay for
It but of course that £42 million wasn’t what was budgeted oh no not by a long Mark that’s how bad it is they even went over budget on Bikes let’s have a look so Angus Robertson a man who has obviously never been on a bike blasted after confessing that Glasgow cycling
World Championships went 8 million over budget and the Scottish government’s culture secretary is facing growing questions over his axing of 6.6 million from from creative Scotland’s budget while paying over budget for the cycling World Championships where you can only spend people’s money once it takes you
More time to steal it from their pockets in various different ways of course this is why they’re constantly looking at cost for this charges for that raising taxes elsewhere because these people can do nothing properly uh we now we’re talking about this world championship cycling thing
You know we’re going to have to look at this whole chain of events just to see what sort of crap they’re pedling uh I’ll stop I will stop um but you know soon soon um but uh you know we’re just get into Top Gear with this
And and get going uh Under Fire culture secretary Angus Robertson has been blasted after confessing that Glasgow cycling World Championships went 8 million over budget with the Scottish government supplying the shortfall this admission came a week after he went back on a promise not to cut 6.6 million from
The creative Scotland budget so basically what what’s happened is Glasgow have paid oh we want to pay this and they they they have paid all this money out to host this event Glasgow now not Scotland Glasgow just the the city uh it’s gone over budget and so the the
Scottish government have had to step in and make up the difference and of course they’ve done that and G oh we spent 8 million over what we’re going to do I will just take it from that budget over there after all that’s not as important
As it is for the SNP Le Glasgow Council to look important on the world stage we don’t want to actually sort out all the services that need to be sorted out we don’t care about people we don’t care about social care but hey look entitled wankers that fart their way through life
On the back of a bike they have to be catered For anyway cyclists from around the world descended on the capital back in August but the cost of it soared to around 60 million with a majority of this funded by the S&P executive and now Mr Robertson confirmed
That the cash trp government had to Fork out about 42 million for the competition from an original 36 million budget so that is a lot of difference isn’t it uh it’s led to criticism from an ex- nationalist MSP who pointed out that the vast spend was only beneficial for
Glasgow and nowhere else Joe McAlpine said what did this event do for our economy well nothing it took money right out of the economy it took public money out that could be spent elsewhere and of course all those all those problems you had with it cost people as well it did
Not it destroyed the economy uh in dumre roads were closed businesses uh driving businesses away from small shops there seem to be more stewards than Spectators people make glasgo signs sng of heard absurdly over the river n businesses throughout Glasgow also complained about the huge drop in
Footfall as SES of the city center were shut off to allow cyclist to take part in a competition some like tantrum Donuts were forced to shut entirely due to being unable to access their shop this has cost people money this has cost them their livelihoods so that these
Entitled tossers who can sit there and go oh look you know I’m I’m not taking um you know illegal substances Munch Munch Munch you know just so I can Whittle me way around on a push bike yeah uh S&P ministers boasted about the sporting event and attended a number of
Lavish receptions involving it of course they did quo the champ cign Munch The caviar it’s all at public expense this is where your 60 million pound has gone hasn’t gone on uh you know bikes as it it’s gone on the lavish receptions uh the UCI cycling World
Championship are a great example of how Mega events like this can showcase our cultural diversity boost accessibility and extend a warm welcome to all communities I’m going to take issue with the cultural diversity U whenever you look at a picture of cyclists I’m going to tell you now they’re 99% White hardly
Um culturally diverse is it um he was forced to defend the cut to create with Scotland at Thursday’s cultural uh culture committee at Hollywood has claimed it would have zero detriment on Arts organizations which is clearly a lie he’s just taken 6.6 million away from
Them uh this year he said we saw funding from the Scottish government and partners to help deliver the 2023 UCI cycling World Championships how about these cycling people say we’d like to hold hold this event in your city and the city says sure how much you going to pay
Us that would change the Outlook wouldn’t it yeah yeah you can come here but you’ll have to pay us 20 million well got 20 million well there you go s off then who’s going to host this stuff um anyway he said it helped promote the health and well-being benefits of
Cycling and the drive The Wider economic and social benefits across Scotland it’s clearly these guys are on so much you know what to get themselves up there and fit um is that good for your health and well-being I don’t think so um and what benefits of cycling shutting down uh whole sways of
The city don’t think so that’s not beneficial is it uh he said it drives wider economic and social benefits yeah when people can’t go to work or get across the town to go to the doctors or the hospitals because you’ve closed roads marvelous brilliant socially aware it sounds to me as though Angus
Robertson was just in it for the champagne and caviar and the look at me look at me I’m a very important person he’s a tit uh anyway due to increased costs including inflation the total funding is in the process of being finalized final cost will be confirmed
In due course but in the order of 8 million over budget government funding for the event uh prior to its completion was delivered through a major event budget he said but since the event conclusion any additional funding funding that may be required will be managed centrally in other words they
Don’t even know how much more it’s cost well it doesn’t matter because you are going to pay for it not them it’s ridiculous isn’t it these people sit there in a world of their own creation going look at me look at me I’m so important look at me as I bestride
The world stage people are looking at your Angus Robertson and they’re just saying a fat lazy o who sits there and quaffs and drinks and eats other people’s expenses that’s when your fat ass isn’t on a plane traveling the world at other people’s expenses my God you’d have a totally different
Life if it was coming out of your pocket Wouldn’t It Anyway the Revelation was criticized on social media with critics claiming this was not value for money of course it isn’t especially due to creative Scotland funding cut Professor Kirsten Ramy wrote Sterling came to a grinding halt with a huge negative
Impact on tourism and local businesses so there could be one pretty shot of a castle everyone who’s seen Braveheart has already seen this anyway uh Scottish labor culture spokesman Neil Biby said if angot Robertson can’t keep promises on culture funding and can’t manage his budget then
Perhaps he should be getting on his bike and that’s the line i’ be waiting for nobody I was wondering who’d say it uh Mr Mr Robinson and humy USAF promised to return the 6.6 million next year but have already been broken a promise to the culture sector about funding good
Lord unbelievable isn’t it fat boy and humy USAF telling tall tales and lying about finances who’ have thk it go off Angus go on get on a plane cough your champagne at 30,000 ft and don’t give us a second thought you OA he’s uncultured he’s a Philistine and a pig anyway I’m
Going stop there and come up of course the worst of it isn’t really the sort of quaffing the champagne and eating the caviar bollocks it’s the lies it’s the blatant lies they stand there and they just open their mouth and you can see the lies coming
Out of them oh we’re going to benefit that oh it’s been a huge benefit there no it clearly hasn’t stop lying you ignorant fat Philistine I’ve got to be careful I was about to say something very very rude then and I won’t because YouTube would have me off YouTube as
Quick as you l so I shall just call him a Philistine I think that’s good enough for him but he is isn’t he we all know what he is but it’s the lies but you know what do you do what do you do they just need to feel important because they
Got very tiny penises and they need to sort of feel important look at me look at me I’m not a failure in life you’re in the S&P mate you’re a failure anyway I shall stop there thank you very much for watching if you like what you’re seeing here on the Channel

The Gullibles and the chancers no not Gers and Michael Beale but SNP supporters and the SNP goverment
50% of children in Glasgow living in poverty, life expectancy the lowest in the western world and dropping, the worst slums in western Europe but thankfully we have Angus Robertson jetting all over the world to organise this which will benefit…..well…..no one
Airmiles Anus better known as Pig in Animal Farm
Let the snp have a bike race without saddles some may like lt and their supporters
I can attest to that. I come from Dumfries. This was the only reason highly disruptive work was done to some roads in the area – otherwise no work would have been undertaken I promise you. That's not much compensation when nobody was there to spectate, there was very little to actually see when I was passing by the route and it made getting into, using and parking in the town difficult in a rural area dependent on cars.
I was on the Glasgow Street (main road heading north out of the town to connect with the A75 and A76) at the Palmerston cafe (Italian family owned fish and chip place and ice cream parlour, best ices in town) and the street was like a ghost town. The Palmy seemed quieter too and it's a local institution. A poor investment for all the money that had gone in.
And proud Doonhamer moment here, Dumfries is the Queen of the South thank you very much, NOT a suburb of Glasgow. They can stick their Glasgow corporate signage where the sun don't shine. Why does EVERYTHING have to be centralised to Glasgow in a area that actually invented the bicycle? Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a blacksmith at Keir (pronounced "keer"), a village just under 16 miles north of Dumfries produced his prototype in 1839. Ironically he rode it to Glasgow and also knocked someone down on it in the Gorbals and was fined 5 shillings in 1842 – you learn something every day. Surely Macmillan should have been treated as a selling point? Cycling championships comes to the birthplace of the bicycle, but no, that would require brains and admitting that somewhere other than Glasgow matters or did anything at all of interest ever. Lord give me strength!
I am fine with sporting competitions, these things needs to be better executed and not used as an excuse for politicians to have another jolly on the public pound.
yet another total loss of taxpayers money
There was some kind of marathon last week as well holding things up. I and many other people are just so fed up with this never ending city centre gridlock causing and public transport cancelling bread and circuses; If it's not sporting events, or woke-wing marches, it's blocking entire sections of the city centre to turn them into filming locations.
Shocking when so many people in Glasgow are really struggling to live and keep warm. Where are the free bicycles for children? ðŸ˜
The SNP needs to be jailed and outlawed.
This govt has to go and they can take their council with them.
Why does it cost £42 million for a bike ride, surely the rusty ferries could have done with a clean up!😊
The snp certainly know how to over spend on everything they touch with or money .i wonder how many malnourished children in glasgow and surrounding areas could have had a decent meal with that money .the snp in glasgow are just like sturgeon it was all about showing off.
I’m from Stirling and it was a nightmare, still is they have cycle paths everywhere. There isn’t road that’s not dug up for these cyclist
Get Humza. Slater and Harvie cycling, save money on limos.
And on and on it goes
I was in favour of the cycling. But I can tell you for a fact that the SNP didn't clean off any of the vandalism in the preceeding days before the event. They shamefully didn't even board up any of the old shop Units. They did nothing to spuce up the shopfronts. The statues are cleaned only by the rain. Pigeon droppings. There's even "w*nker" spray painted on the Duke of Wellington. The most famous statue. A week later the Banksy Street art exhibition started. The pillars of the GOMA museum left green. They were coloured by moss. Glasgow City Council doesn't own jet blasters or offer homeless people jobs, pride and self respect.
The Fountain at people's palace opened by queen Victoria for her jubillee is currently black. Cleaned only twice per year. And not by Glasgow life. Who run the palace next to it. So they can't clean it they said… The winter gardens once provided that tropical uplift of a holiday abroad for the, working class poor of the east end. Next to the calton. The palace belong to all of us the people. And contained the story of WW1 Anderson shelters, socialism in Glasgow and the red clydesiders.
Today the people's palace – once a living testmanent to our history – such as the Glaswegian banana trees. Now closed. Trees dead. Compete disgrace.
Even the Irish famine memorial outside is rotting away.
The medieval Cathedral is crumbling, as is the 500 year old trongate theatre with so much history. Left to the elements.
And now they want congestion charges. LEZ. Less rail services. Less bus services. They want to demolish two shopping centres for elitist housing no one can afford. That will lie empty to wash billionaires money through. And they don't like trees either they've chopped them down to spy on the citizens going to protest in George Square.
It really is a cesspit of corruption. And she's going on a jolly to Dubai. SNP have abandoned Scotland and Glasgow. They were never on our side in the first place.
I went into Kelvingrove park to see it pass, it was very poorly attended but there was plenty of route marshals all volunteers and it was over very quickly, I also seen some of it on Argyle st, shame story but what struck me as funny was the amount of petrol and diesel cars and vans and of course the generators for lights, timing displays, etc.
In George square there was a big fully staffed marquee FOR ONLY VIP’S. I’ve seen the abuse that goes on at these events, people you have never seen or heard of come out the woodwork, freebies, handshakes, wee bags, and palms being greased. That’s without taxis, limos, hotel accommodation. I used to watch as a certain BBC star and radio dj was waited on hand and foot, the high and mighty falling over themselves to get photos taken with a dyed haired old man dripping in gold and a big cigar ( JS ) the arse licking made me sick, I just wonder if these photos are still proudly displayed? ( Patrick Harvie was maybe too young )
The cycle of abuse goes on !
I can’t believe there’s Gullible Scots who actually voted for them in the by-election. The Scottish Tories need a good kick up the Arse .
Ps .there’s plenty open spaces in Scotland so why host this event is Scotlands busiest city . There was a cross country event held at Ben Nevis that would’ve been ideal no traffic etc
Angus Robertson (A.K.A. Airmiles Angus) straight out of uni into journalism and then politics. Just another who has never worked in any production or money making employment and totally inept at handling other peoples money. Standard SNP politico.
Someone in SNP can't count Original Budget £36 M to an overspend up to £60 M is a shortfall off £ 24 Million ,, We tip for Clowns in Parly as i assume they had to approve it First, If it Doesn't pay ,Don't Entertain it. Scotland's to Cold & Dreich for TV Stations from around the World to entertain Broadcasting Live, Like they Do IN EUROPE. & you don't need a University Degree to work that out, Just pure & simple Common Sense.
Devolved Parly, needs DESOLVED in ACID.
Do expect any less from a sunburnt imbecile who is so dumb he thinks hes a fm and the dummies that serve the upstart
What is the point of bicycles in Glasgow, you will disappear down a pothole just the same as the £600,000 that went missing, that investigation has gone all quiet, no surprises there then, just the same outcome as every other investigation into the snp, swept under the carpet. B-A-F
Meanwhile in Stirling they knocked down historic statues
We happened to be staying local to Glasgow and went in to watch some of the events. On the day we went George’s square was just about deserted! We were gobsmacked at what they were trying to charge for the merchandise!
The SNP probably only backs events/projects it can steal from.
Glasgow should concentrate on providing bikes for druggies so they can get to the free drug rooms to shoot up! Jeeezus……these cretins have to go! Scotland what have you done to allow these maniacs to run Scotland for 16 years?
I think it will only be a matter of weeks until the silver fox is reporting on Dumbza yousless resignation .
He will be resigning for the 'good of the party" of course
The council can build a cycle lane the full length of london road in 2020,rip it up in 23 and redo it again,and still we drive round in potholes(parked at matalan one rainy day for an hour and a half,how many bikes. 0)
