Scottish Referendum / Independence - Vol 7

No doubt they will max out loans from the NFL at £3 billion under the Scotland Act and will pay the rUK interest at around 1.1%

My worry is they in essence turn into a zombie country ie the debt is so large that even financing it is crippling and wil be for generations. When faced with that capita mobility is easy so more brain drain compounding the issue.


Devolution is a great idea on the face of it to many BUT they totally ignore that the wealthier areas will simply become more emwealthy with those funds staying in said locality and not going to support weaker areas. This causes a rift - look no further at the S.E v rest of UK - one area utterly unaffordable for anyone not living in there with no sign of anything ever changing while other areas cheap as chips yet impossible to sell

I like to think of it as a stealth Barnett reduction; give it a few years and the SNP will be sending 10's of millions in interest back to the rUK.

Very good.

"The essence of nationalism. Hatred without really knowing why anymore."

Could apply to another referendum....

Your ongoing and plainly deliberate refusal to understand anything at all is really becoming unbelievably tedious.

Very erudite.

If you read the article more slowly, it might dawn on you why the quote is rather insightful. I don't have time nor inclination to explain it to you, but you might be able to find another grown up who can.

Or is Nicola getting delusions of royalty?

It's actually quite comical that the only response the SNP have to anything these days is to deride the Labour party. I suspect if someone was to comment to Nicola Sturgeon about the weather she would incorporate a snidey remark at Labour in the reply.

Not saying Labour don't deserve it, but the SNP really are putting a lot of capital into the downfall of the erstwhile presiding party in Scotland, failing to realise that they need to keep splitting the anti-separatists along political lines to maintain their unholy independence alliance.

SNP - more Tory than the Tories!

The SNP are an uncomfortably broad tent; from Jim Sillars' USSR-lite to Sean Connery's 'fk paying tax'. It's hard to find a common enemy to unify all the residents of the asylum. Unionists/Southerners/English/Posh people worked for a long time, but now Labour have stepped into the breach.

The Left hate Labour for betraying them (they did). The Right hate Labour for being corrupt (they are). Both wings of Nationalism can agree on something. They're conflicted over tax, the constitution, the monarchy, and the welfare state, but they all hate Labour and like it on Facebook.

We get the politics we deserve, or so I'm told.

I wonder when Anonymous will look into trolling him? He seems a vile person who has no empathy and a keyboard warrior.

Perfect qualities to be a nationalist. Haters gotta hate.

PS. He's also a small-time crook, but that is another story.
