xbl Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I did a hatchet job on the BBC article earlier on, and it was one of my better ones (in my oh so humble opinion). Therefore, get spreading the word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeGas Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Good to hear the UK media are reporting the facts about some of the financial challenges that would face Scotland if Scots decide to go down the separatist route and leave the United Kingdom family. Scotland are clearly better off remaining with their family and i'm sure that is what the majority of Scots want. Better Together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeGas Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Great for the Scottish people that they are hearing some truths rather than the childish Norwegian fantasy they get from the SNP liars. I'm pleased for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 What's everyone's favourite Iain Gray point and laugh moment? Mines was at the last Scottish Parliament elections after a recount was called on his constituency vote. The sight of him leaning on that table, his eyes darting desperately back and forth from the voting papers to the counter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingsoverperthshire Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Great for the Scottish people that they are hearing some truths rather than the childish Norwegian fantasy they get from the SNP liars. I'm pleased for them. Would you like to join Iain Gray's refreshing new honesty and admit that taxes will rise in Scotland as a result of a NO vote ?

Well if they do you won't be alone. The point is it's a nice piece of reality for Scots this study by highly rated financial people. Really,there's no point in independence. Boring,stupid and pointless. Scots see this and after 300 years they know full well they are Scottish and British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 If Scotland faces a fiscal problem due to an ageing indigenous population, is that issue being a) hindered or b) helped by the UK Government's vile, racist Southeast dominated agenda against immigrants, regardless of their qualifications and value to society? Would gaining sovereign control over Scottish migration policy provide a very straightforward means by which to completely avoid the IFS' back-of-a-fag-packet projections? It's a toughie. NB: Ad Lib will no doubt be along to 'keep things honest' at BitterTogether, the BBC, STV and his own Britnat anti-immigrant party. Can't wait!

CGR Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 These claims that the IFS is 'objective'. It has its biases as well: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/aug/19/tax.taxandspending Also, doesn't it get funding from Westminster?

BucksburnDandy Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Thought the way the BBC handled this report was pretty poor chiefly hearing the coverage on "Newsdrive". Douglas Fraser never really attempted to stress the inherent flaws in the IFS assumptions. The lack of analysis of OBR oil projections which are far below the industry estimates makes the report inherently flawed instantly. Still, no doubt the papers will run it with little critical analysis tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe the Lib Dems are an anti-immigration Party, but I do believe UK immigration law damages not just Scottish demographics and growth but the whole of the UK's. The pragmatic case is really strong on immigration for independence. I'm sorry if this answer disappointed you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
