Spooky - reading this just as BBC 4 are playing The Smiths, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now. Lighten up, surely good news but hardly likely to be a big spread in The Herald. Or Inverness Courier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Neoliberal Nic pushing the RBS line. Quote My view is that the six tests – that we have a functioning and credible Central Bank, that our fiscal position is sufficiently strong, that we have a sufficiency of reserves to manage our currency, and that a new currency would meet the needs of citizens and businesses and the economy overall – are reasonable. The SNP have created a policy position which they hope will trick voters into thinking that they are pro an independent currency while the banks know the truth that they aren't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRocketman II Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Its a good job that we have parties like Labour who are not self serving and there for the good of the general public - they can call the SNP out on things like this...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The Growth Commision plan does mean permanent austerity. We are already in a state of austerity and following the GC policy will require further spending cuts. The 6 tests will never be met as they are currently constituted. It would leave us in a position where we have no control over our interest rate, no ability to use QE and completely beholden to credit markets who would set a high cost of borrowing whilst demanding ever more neoliberal reforms. A country without control over it's currency is not an independent country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
