    It's all got a bit pathetic for Sturgeon. Cameron acquiesced to the SNP's demands, then May told her to shove it.

    Since then it has become accepted to tell her no "for a generation". She is finished.

    I think they are "bringing forward" and putting stuff "on the table" just now, as we speak.

    "We all knew this was coming?

    No, some of us always knew they talk complete tulipe.

    The report "the price of independence" is worth a read.

    To equate a working visa issue with the holocaust is total fruitbattery.

    I would say with some certainty that this is a top down strategy, now the economic argument is completely gone the narrative must be shifted to the claim that Scottish people at
    e 'morally superior' ( yes, they have used that term ). These people are dangerous
    .
    Absolute nutters...

    Er no, because we pay more in via our natural resources. That's why you're so keen to keep us.

    The SNP run a centralised, right of centre government whilst claiming be a socialist party to keep all the leftist crazies on side.

    They spent years arguing against dropping the top rate of tax and when they got the power to put it back to 50% they used the same line as Thatcher that it would cost money.

    It's hilarious how thick their followers are.

    The only thing they can do is raise tax on income and land-tax. And on that I should remind you on that one power the SNP have excelled. There's little appetite to purchase silly expensive houses given the stamp duty. In 2015 16,000 new houses were built in Scotland compared to 140,000 in England. That's 0.32% in Scotland versus 0.22% in England.

    Clearly where the Scottish government has authority it is using it better.

    Does Scooterscot make over simplistic statements to reinforce his argument? Absolutely.
