Scotland isn't an economic basket case. Thats a very unpatriotic veiw to take. Scotland is infact hugely successful as part of the United Kingdom where the strength of the UK economy is pooled and shared. 

Where it completely fucks the Nationalists cause is that the Scottish Government is wholly reliant on the income we get from the Barnett Formula to the tune of £12.6Bn per annum. To put that into context the size of the entire Scottish NHS budget is £14Bn. 

Apologies, I must have missed your reply to:

Point out the part where the revenue raised by the SNP is. Basic stuff. Should be easy to find.

And while we are at it:

Your third or fourth reference to me better an utter simpleton Malky....can you remind me again what your two post graduate degrees, one of which is a PhD are in again? (and yes I have both). 

You should perhaps go back to that village which is currently missing its favourite resident. It might be easier to use two fingers when you hit copy and paste from whatever right wing 'think' tank is flavour of the week as well.

Nationalists should NEVER be trusted

The small white rose of Scotland that smells sharp and sweet and breaks the heart.

One day Malky you will come to your senses.

Scottish Nationalism has been here for centuries, it's not going away and it get's stronger by the day.

Always a bit dubious about folk swinging their qualifications around to lend themselves credibility when that qualification isn't relevant to the subject matter.

I remember somebody once banging on about how their qualifications had given them a superior ability to read and critically assess / process information in cringe-worthy fashion.  Good chance it was VT when somebody paraphrased your quote above with particular reference to history.  Actually, I'm pretty sure it was.

It’s going to take a lot to get independence over the line but if the rumours are true about the EU offering Scotland a fast track membership if we vote for independence then I am pretty sure that would guarantee our freedom!

In 1966 on St Andrews day Russel Johnston the Liberal MP for Inverness introduced a private members bill for Scottish Self Government, it was met with derision and howls of laughter from both sides of the commons with shouts of 'Where's your Pipes' and 'Build a Wall', the sketch writer for the Glasgow Herald jested mercilessly at Johnston's expense by drawing a joke  caricature of him for the paper and the Herald to it's shame ran with the headline, 'Guffaws greet Bill on Home Rule'.

Fast Forward 53 years where we have a Scottish Parliament, 48 SNP MP's in Westminster, with one Labour and six tory MP's in Scotland.

There can only be Independence now.

I think the EU need to be more vocal on this tbh

They can't at present whilst the UK is still a member of the EU. After the Tories  finally have the UK out, you would imagine the EU being more free to comment on the issue.

It’s almost as if accountants/economists just make shit up as they go along to suit the narrative.  

 

As someone who has an economics background I can sympathise with you. 

There is an old old joke that if you stick 4 economists in a room they'll come up with 5 different theories on the same topic!!

Tbf, I know PhD graduates who think they know all about politics, but in reality know f*** all about it.
I don't know any people that have graduated with a PhD in politics though.   They're possibly the same.
My degree is applied economics - I specialised in urban economics and public sector economics - that's why I can tell Malky doesn't really understand the figure!!

Findlay and Lennon were expected to abstain. Will be class when Lennon is welcomed into the indy fold and Wings is ostracised.
