No, you can bet your bottom dollar regardless of oil price that Westminster will almost always where possible under-state the GERS figures, after all they've a certain narrative that they spin quite well.

What deflection, our police numbers have increased in that period while England and Wales's numbers have dropped dramatically, we get cash based on their spend, we're doing ok. We'll not even bother with the NHS as the disparity in what we get is even greater. As for us wasting 70 million, not sure what your on about but I'm sure Westminster have lost £1billion down the sofa never mind the many billions they've wasted. What could we do with 50 times that 70 million that we're being charged for HS2? No doubt we'll be charged £350 million for our share of London Super Sewer as well if they can bring it in anywhere near budget or it'll be another 50 times the 70 like HS2. If you keep bending over the table I'm sure I can provide examples where Westminster has shagged your arse without informing you.

Get on with it, Article 50 is still hiding in Theresa May's handbag as far as I can tell.

Judge our police(even allowing for us paying VAT) and NHS against rUK's since the crunch then come back and tell us who's good and who's bad, IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE

A significantly smaller detriment than membership of the UK.

FFS, I'm still trying to master English.

I asked you not to say anything to anyone.

Same old Airdie fans.

I've not witnessed any material change, we're still waiting to see if May and her pals bottle it before we contemplate anything.

No, it's got to be when she thinks YES can win, she's been battling for ages to avoid getting Westminster's semen up her jacksie so a little egg won't bother her.

Why do all UKOK's wrongly assume that Scotland would start off with 100% of their share of the debt and 0% of their share of assets? The Scottish universities need to take a long hard look at themselves if this is all they can produce.

On the whole it does better with the powers that it does have. Potentially only 4% more police officers in Scotlandsince 2008 = disaster. Upto 20% less police officers in rUK = move on nothing to see here.

Fcuk off, I'm no longer interested in Westminster, they don't look after Scotland's differing requirements anywhere near as well as I'd like.

Would you like me to spell out the gist of that last sentence so your dense lump of wood can make sense of it?

Yep, Westminster still fcuking our economy up. I'd take that deficit as a starting point for an independent Scotland in a heartbeat, £68m from oil and guesstimates made to look as bad as possible and we'd still only need to improve our economy by 5.5% to match UKOK's deficit. Oil receipts can't go any lower and there's certainly not a chance that HM Treasury and The ONS have made our figures look better than they actually were.

Why do you feel sorry for the Canadian, she was 4th in a race full of women. I could train all day every day and not come close to the top athletes, that's not unfair, it's just how it is, perhaps Phar Lap should be stripped of all his race wins due to his advantage of birth.

She'll be disappointed that she didn't get her 5th place medal, at least she didn't use the sore toe excuse.

The lassie has had to answer plenty of questions, it's not her fault that her body naturally produces testosterone.

Managed 1 game before pulling out of the Rogers Cup after his last gold win, after an easy match against Federer.

Says she's going for a medal, good on you hen, you'll not win if you don't try.

She'd have qualified if she hadn't ran into Weightman's arm.

Don't know but the bookies cut his odds for a WR from 9/1 to 4/1.

The boy's fcuked.

Why, they couldn't be arsed showing Murray for most of the tournament.

Fair play to Del Potro as he's been running on fumes for a wee while now.
