I think the usual line trotted out is " the obr has re forecasted and is now saying blah blah blah"

The more remarkable one is when the GERS figures continually get rejigged and yet we've to treat them as gospel.

Was that roughly the same time that former socialist Lord Darling of Roulanish, having realised that he was possessed of all the personality of a dialling tone, decided to spend the rest of his life as a really shit version of Cyril Sneer?

Of all the personalities he could try and ape to make up for his own lack, I guess the money-grubbing p***k one has been most successful.

I really think you're doing a big dis-service to dialling tones.

I think it was one of the mistakes YES made by not continually telling the world that all the negative results were Westminsters doing whenever NO spouted that pish.

What do you think HMRC would say if everyone constantly rejigged their books for years after they were filed.

Imagine calling yourself Scottish and not wanting to control your own country.
Imagine letting your neighbours make all the decisions. Unbelievable shitebaggery

I am Scottish. I don't want to control any country. I leave that to megalomaniacal politicians. I have great neighbours who let me and my family get on with our lives, and we do likewise. I will let my neighbours know all snp members think they are shitebags. Thanks!

I'll let my neighbours know too. They're good people. They need to know the truth!

Why?


It reduces the repayments and interest you need to fund in the future and ultimately reduces the risk of running into a sovereign debt crisis. And by lowering interest rates makes more borrowing available for the private sector.

Of course it's not the nominal size of the debt but the ability to service it that's really important which is why it's generally expressed as a percentage of GDP.

This means that if raising taxes or cutting spending to create a surplus causes slow growth in GDP or even a recession the overall effect on Debt/GDP can be negative

This much is uncontroversial although those on the right will be inclined to see the benefits of spending cuts but the perils of tax rises, those on the left tend to reverse that emphasis.

What is more controversial is how capable the private sector is of filling the gap and generating the growth that the government isn't.

There will be a few true believers in Marx or the market who'll take an absolute view on that but most people will think that it depends on the current circumstances
