Scotland's finances

[TestMangler]

I doubt it is going to bring in 3 billion a year at the rate this is going, that is certainly in line with the numbers it was making previous the to the oil price spike.

And don't give me the nonsense about oil not factored into the pre referendum promises, the amount of times I heard "I look out into the sea and see oil wells then I look into the land and see food banks" pish from the nationalists...

You doubt anything that doesn't support your argument.

Maybe if the SNP were bombing shopping centres and pubs, you'd be more likely to lend them your support.

Oh, and just for the record, I never once said that oil wasn't factored in, nor did I once mention foodbanks, so **** off.

You have to admire Sturgeon's stubborn resistance to economic reality when she says these numbers ...

"tell us nothing at all about how Scotland would perform with greater economic and fiscal powers"

...when every bank in Edinburgh has to move to London with independence. When we won't have a currency.

I live in a province that has been taken over by complete madness.

You live in a country, surely.

You are probably right about the madness though.

There is no country that recognises Scotland as a country, likewise there is no country that recognises England as country.

To the EU we are provinces.

I am more than happy that we remain in a little fantasy where all remain a nation with Wales in this group of 'countries' called Great Britain.

I never said anything about the United Kingdom.

You do understand the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom?

If Scotland wants to win an indpendence vote, next time insist that all of the UK has a right to vote in the referendum, as it would be a landslide win in that case.

Simples.

As for the finances, I'm sure they could manage it with renewable energy, tourism, banking (they should be become a tax haven), whiskey and other high end agricultural products.

As you can imagine, I was very involved in the indyref on social media and in the streets/rallys/meetings.

Never once did I hear anything like the phrase "I look out into the sea and see oil wells then I look into the land and see food banks". You just made that up.

You want to google...

"When I look out to sea all I see is oil rigs, when I look inland all I see is foodbanks"

it, and derivatives, were commonly used in the independence debate.

Derivatives is something we will not see much of if the Ayatollah Sturgeon gets her way.

That is not strictly accurate, in polls 60% plus of Englanshirers wanted Scotland to stay in the UK.
