Scotland's 15.1 Billion Defecit

Recommended Posts

The first government post independence will be a fragile coalition between the Mcglashan Party and the Wings over Bath Kill Trans people Party.

They have agreed on the guy who writes the daft Scots language column in the National as a compromise candidate for First Minister.

Scottish Labour came 7th with 6.37% of the vote.

It depends on how Scotland is constituted. My preference would be full PR.

I think they'd stick with the current system. Scotland has been a weird bastion of stability over the past decade and it wouldn't take much to put it partially down to the voting system.

Within weeks of gaining Independence we will be applying for EU membership, after all the fuckin around by Bojo the clown and his westminster fools behaviour with Brexit Scotland will be welcomed with open arms, some of the empathy shown by the likes of France will be to spite the little englanders and their long gone imperialistic dreams.

This will give us free and unhindered trade with 27 countries with a population of 446 million, no longer will our proud country attempt to survive on the financial crumbs from a one sided joke as far as the word united is concerned.

So you can stick your english pounds up yer arse sideways as we will enjoy a free Euro market which will be denied to england.

Adios the land of hope and glory and  Bonjour, Guten Tag etc etc etc to our real friends. 

Bonjour! Imperialistic dreams, yep, the French , what a showpiece of a nation, very much on par with Great Britain, if not ahead.

Guten Tag, aye the Germans what a wonderful nation they proved in the last century.

Spain, France, Italy, Germany, they would sell their souls if it suited them.

Don’t forget all the above mentioned have either invaded or attempted to invade Great Britain over the years.

When the French don’t get their way, they blockade the ports, throw tantrums over fishing rights, and the Spanish recently threatened to blow a British fishing vessel out of the water, if they are not making idle threats they blockade Gibraltar .

And to the uneducated who think Gibraltar should be Spanish, Spain and France are just as guilty as Great Britain.

So what makes any of them better than England?

If it stayed with what it is now then yeah whatever manifestion of the SNP emerged post independence would remain the biggest party & detournement's prediction of them endorsing austerity between independence and the setting up of a central bank is probably what would happen. It wouldn't feel nice to vote for that to be what ended up happening for a few years before things could go scandisocdem but as you say if the alternative is what it the alternative is, I'm still voting for that.

I don't know enough about economics (why I'm a leftie hahahahahahahahahaah) to know whether it's necessary to do austerity and/ or pursue neoliberal policies after independence but I'm fairly confident that that's the trajectory for a post-indy Scotland because it's the consensus among the Scottish political establishment. It'll be more socially inclusive and done with a kinder face but it's still going to be shite but, aye, not as incompetent and vicious down south.

Idk if it's just the people I interact with but it's funny to see the general pessimism that's settled in between 2014 and now.

Well the fact that Germany has 6% of global manufacturing compared to the UK's 2% for a start. Just as well England won the war eh ?

Whilst this whole post is a lot of crap, I'm intrigued by one assertion...

When did Italy try to invade GB?

I'm not awfully sure what point you are endeavouring to make.

Any chance of summarising and whilst you are at it, when did Italy attem ... grrr, too late

Anyway, are you a racist?

The Roman Empire, clue there.

Bonnie Prince Charlie, or  Charles Edward Stuart as some of the Cult members know him by.

Benito Mussolini, well what can we say about him, Never knew what side he was on, always keen to switch from the losing side .

Granted he did not directly try to invade Great Britain, but  he sure did some bad stuff against us.

The original post was to enlighten someone who thought somehow all European nations were wise and wonderful and that big bad Imperialist Britain were the big  bad ones.

Imperialism, Fascism, aye Britain  could not lace the boots of France, Spain, Germany, Italy.

Try reading the original post.

Not sure where racism comes into play?

However , that is the norm from a weak individual, pull the race card.

Pathetic.

3) Benito Mussolini, well what can we say about him,

1) GB didn't exist as a country in Roman times. Neither did Italy

2) Whilst Bonnie Prince Charlie was born in Rome, Italy didn't exist at that time. Anyway, he was backed by the French.

3) We can say that Mussolini declared war on the UK, not GB. 

Zero out of three so far. Do you want to try again?

Struggling a bit to see what point Merkincher is trying to make here in all fairness..

Yes.....the governments of some nations were evil shites hunners of years ago. No shit.

The UK (or its respective parts before union) has been (and is) culpable for lots of crap all over the world. 

It's the future that counts.

If it's a choice between UK and EU in terms of future prospects, it's a no brainer for anyone but raving Britnats and  the looniest of yoons.
