  1. Quite possibly but even that wouldn't guarantee we'd be in a better position given the amount of time investment can take to pay back. We also don't know how much the global uncertainty has affected our economy. There are so many factors to consider. I'm never certain about anything. Far more questions than answers. That's why I come on here to find out what other folk believe to be the facts. So many folk on here seem to know for https://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/26/goldman-sachs-forecasts-uk-recession-in-2017-downgrades-global-growth-forecasts.html but later. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/sep/09/city-banks-revise-brexit-doom-and-gloom-forecasts
  2. No-one can say for certain. Only guess. You can only know what did happen.
  3. https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/06/project-fear-two-years-on-six-brexit-predictions-that-failed-to-come-true/ Goldman Sachs predicted a recession by 2017 according to this link. And JP Morgan predicted an independent Scotland with it's own currency. Fingers crossed for that.
  4. He's already got a Scottish cup winners medal. 2 by the end of this season hopefully.
  5. Anti Irish and Anti catholic. There can be no other reason to hate the loathsome wee c**t. Apparently.
  6. I don't need to read this thread to know that my two pet hates will already have been covered in detail. Folk who drop litter and folk who put their feet up in the seats in buses. Hanging's too good for them etc.
  7. You would have to grow the GDP at a faster rate and therefore increase the tax take without increasing the tax rate. Not an easy feat. You could also try to increase the tax rate on the wealthier without causing them to just f**k off to lower tax countries. Again not an easy feat. Austerity doesn't have to be the way though.
  8. If we wanted to balance the books then public spending would definitely have to come down, at least in the short term. Not sure why we'd want to be almost the only western country to live within our means. I see that the largest group in the poll will very soon be disappointed because it looks highly unlikely we will be voting this year. I'm still happy to wait the generation (20 years) I was promised. The vote was never about me and always about my daughter and her children. I still believe they would be better off in an independent country.
  9. I did notice that most of the coppers for our game against Rangers were of slightly bigger stature and wearing their riot gear uniform already (minus the helmets).
  10. I got the impression that the coppers back then enjoyed the fighting as much as the fans. Also in Dundee you got the choice of the cells or a kicking on the back of a van. Which was considerate of them.
  11. Pretty sure that Ireland used sterling for a transitional period after independence. Is there anything reason we couldn't do similar?
  12. I'm more than happy to have our own currency and a Norway style relationship with the EU. To me, your own currency is one of the main points in being an independent nation.
  13. Henning Wehn on tonight. Wonder if the war will get a mention.
  14. It's strange (or not) that an issue which directly affects a very tiny minority of the UK electorate seems to garner so much publicity. The Labour party could quite easily win an election without a single Jewish vote. Makes you wonder why this is such a massive issue in the media. I don't know any of my circle of friends/aquaintences who give a flying f**k about it.
  15. Am I missing an in joke why everyone is misspelling his name?
  16. Of course not but it doesn't stop the **** crowing about their income when they manage to fluke it into the CL group stages. It's fun to see the c***s realise their level in the grand scheme of things in world football. A middling EPL team are poaching their manager and don't even blink at the thought of paying approx. £6m in compo.
  17. Not these days. Fans are pretty irrelevant to the people running football as well. It's all about the money.
  18. Money is all that matters these days. That's obvious. Winning trophies is next to irrelevant. You can see that in the way teams qualify for the Champions league.
  19. You're gonnae need a bigger boat. Turnover of £233m. That's bigger than Celtic. Football is a business. Leicester's business is bigger than Celtic's business, Leicester are bigger than Celtic. There can be no argument about it.
