Miguel Sanchez Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Say lex makes a good case here, this is worrying, he's right to look at those figures and draw that conclusion and oh On 10/07/2015 at 12:02, Lex said: I am against that fwiw. Not that it will make much difference, I don't think there's any chance of us voting to leave the EU. All the major parties - SNP included - will be campaigning for us to vote to stay in. oops 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Have any of our unionist friends told us yet how we resolve our 'deficit' without the necessary powers to do it? #gers Or have we forever and a day to just simply accept 'their' 'dependency' without doing anything about it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 It utterly baffles me that Unionists, from dribbling quarter wits like our own Lex, to supposed intellectual heavyweights like Alex Massie and Fraser Nelson see Scotland performing badly as part of the UK as a reason against independence. It's also saddening to see so many shriek in delight at Scotland's deficit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagyar Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Do we simply ignore the democratic will of the people who voted to create the Scottish Parliament? They probably wouldn't notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will try to spin it and blame it all on big bad Westminster. The sad reality is no one is buying it. Scotland still isn't interested in independence, and an another referendum isnt on the horizon. Why isn't it? Simple. Nicola knows she would lose badly. Again. Why not, they are the ones spending most of the money that lead to the deficit, after all. They are the ones who set the tax system up in a way that creates a drag in tax take in Scotland, after all. Gers, above all else is a terrible indictment of how Westmisnter has run, and continues to run Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially only 4% more police officers in Scotlandsince 2008 = disaster. Upto 20% less police officers in rUK = move on nothing to see here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been. She's going to bottle it. No, she said a material change in circumstances was grounds for one, not that there definitely would be. As it is, there actually hasn't been a material change in circumstance, only once article 50 has been invoked, only once there is a UK negotiating position, and some idea of what brexit will look like, and only once it is clear that position will not guarantee Scotland's continued membership of the EU will she be in a position to call one.
