I'm sure I just read him call someone a sad f**k with a chip on their shoulder. IRONY ALERT

In the uk it is, we're the 'enemy within' after all

Absolutely, some of the comments from gove and Duncan Smith have been hilarious, it's either a total lack of self awareness or they know a supine media will never pick them up on it. And these are not stupid people, mendacious lying shitebags but not stupid.

You'd have to be incredibly naive to think there isn't an enormous effort across the political spectrum ongoing including the press and civil service to thwart independence tbf. I mean have you been asleep for the last 4 years?

No, I'm not sure what relevance this has

Aye, or maybe the state broadcaster which is desperate to prevent independence selected an audience with that in mind

No there aren't, once again you're lying. You're a pathological liar who hates poor people, you must fit in very well in the Fib Dems.

Very enlightening you see Scots as 'peasant like', in terms of your attitude towards Scots and also towards poor people. You are a very nasty piece of work. And you clearly are disgusted by Scotland and Scots, you make that very clear and even referred to Edinburgh as 'shite', Edinburgh is one of the greatest cities in the world and tourists absolutely love it. You are betraying your true feelings by your words, despite your claims to the contrary. A typical self-loathing Britnat.

well to be fair he said that was the reaction of everyone on the unionist side including him, and sounds like he said that would gladden everyone's hearts.

Actually I take it back my mistake, googled the quotes It was James kirkup executive editor of the telegraph, he said why won't this man just Die?

He apologised to salmond about it when they were on qt together a few months ago. If you disbelieve it have a look yourself.

Live on the bbc about a year agoCourse if a Scottish nationalist had something similar the outrage would have shifted the planet off its axis and you'd still be hearing about it every day

The guy who said he wishes Salmond would die, and a self professed raging BritNat.

The 300 billion is merely oil revenues, you also have corporation tax and all the otheraassociated taxes, between 1980 and 2012 Scotlandsubsidised the uk to the tune of 222 billion. Yet ad Lib claims we were subsidised over this time.

Ad Lib the lying troll at it again, even the uk government admits we would have been better off independent since oil and makes its argument for us staying on the present and oil running out, it's widely acknowledged this is the case mccrone report etc. but ad Lib apparently has access to information nobody else does and argues the opposite is true. You need to improve your trolling, very poor.

He's a very bad unionist troll is all.

Maybe benevolent Westminster just refused to give us control of any means to grow and improve our econom and only gave us partial control of one tax which can't alter much and can only really serve to make our government unpopular out of solidarity. As for subsidies well the subsidies Scotland has given Westminster in my lifetime are eye watering and dwarf any shortfall apparently being made up now

I presume this is an attempt at humour. And to deflect from your inability to counter points raised. I wonder if Westminster just tried to cut our budget by billions out of solidarity, perhaps they lied to us about oil wealth for 30 years out of solidarity too.A

Yeah that's likely the people who are cutting payments to disabled people want to spend billions subsidising Scotland out of solidarity yeah good one, it's cause, as the last two economic studies of GERS have said, Scotland is a cash cow subsidising the uk. Nd yes that is how exports are calculated you can't just dismiss something cause it undermines your argument, all Scottish exports that leave an English port are counted as English it's a simple fact, most of the whisky industry is also attributed to London as the head offices are there. And they did steal 6000 square miles of sea that's also a fact, just dismissing it doesn't make it go away.

McGarry needs to put ddown the wine and step away from the keyboard and concentrate on being a good constituency MP. I agree the SNP surge seems to have let a few muppets in.

Absolutely owned. Top class post.

You can't seriously not know about the sea issue, the nigh before the Scottish parliament opened the boundaries were changed, moving the sea border between England and Scotland for internal uk subdivision matters from Berwick to carnoustie, you must know this everyone does, 200 miles into Scotland annexing 6000 square miles of Scottish sea. This was done to weaken the case for independence no other reason. Google it and educate yourself The last two studies of GERS came to the figures £16.9 billion, what's changed and give some supporting evidence for your claim these inaccuracies have been remedied, you'll excuse me if I don't just take your word for it. And you're clearly a BritNat.

Yeah, I'm thinking he needs to get laid worse than any man in history.

I'm getting that you are a Britnat troll. I asked what happened to the £16.9 billion reported as missing from Scotland's GDP which you claim has now been ammended, you didn't reply, and I asked you to account for these improvements which you claim have been made, can you do that? I'm not holding my breath for a reply from a troll but reply if you want. For other people who aren't trolls I encourage you to look into the inaccuracies in GERS you will be astounded. And Westminster did steal 6000 square miles of sea from Scotland and GDP in this area is not coutned in GERS, as I'm sure you know, but being intellectually dishonest you dismiss this. You're a lying troll.

It is also demonstrably not reasonable to assign economic activity in Scotland to England when trying to give a full account of Scotland's fiscal position, as is done with many things in GERS, which you do not deny. Therefore the economic picture is inevitably a lot rosier than GERS paints, which is obviously the intention. Your position is inherently intellectually dishonest given you fail to concede that point, even though your entire reply is based around accepting that is the case. There are other factors like the billion plus of Scotsh exports which are counted as English which would obviously have to be deducted from England's GDP and added to Scotland's to give a true picture as well as the 6000 square miles of sea Westminster stole from SCotland and any GDP generated within. It is also the case the largest ratings agency Standard and Poors said Scotland would qualify for its highest credit rating without factoring in even a single drop of oil, which you also gloss over in your attempt to claim borrowing would be an issue. Its also nothing to do with access to markets its about minimising tax liabilities, you are quite simply a liar, everything you say is based on dishonesty. You also say GERS has improved and the faults have been recctified, well okay then, the last study done of GERS said Scotland's fiscal position is actually £16.9 billion better than GERS paints, so what has happened to this money, can you account for it and show me the improvements made in GERS which you state have been made but provide no proof of? PS - can you please write shorter replies this post took me about twenty minutes to write.
