Scottish Referendum / Independence - Vol 6

[simoid]

"Business for Scotland and other business leaders"

I think you mean

"Business for Scotland AND business leaders" as the two are exclusive.

Why do we need a tax break? There was record investment in the last couple of years. Oh yes, as Wiggley says, it's a setup to blame the English. When the st oil results come out in the next couple of years, Salmond and co blame the English cos they didn't cut taxes for the multinational oil companies. And also blame the English for cutting taxes for the rich.

Global market manipulation - really.

Are these people that thick?



Of course oil isn't a curse its a bonus - IF and only IF it doesn't build up the public spending as once it does it is a big burden when things don't go to plan. Who pays? Borrow more & pay more interest kick can down the road increase tax charges to all or some (though with Scotland its such a vast gap in tax revenue with so few people £3billion gap over the entire population of 5m is a lot Or what benefit /spending gets cut.
Its dead simple

Good point - incredible that there's some Latin in that gem of a tweet

As if free nursing care for the over 65's, - free university education for all Scottish or EU undergraduates (except if you come from England, NI or Wales - you lot have to pay for your FE in lovely friendly neighbourly Scotland), - universal free prescriptions (NI and Wales have this too)...wasn't enough, I've just found out the greedy bds get cheaper NHS dental treatment as well!

Band 1 example: Scale and polish - England £18.50, Wales £13.00, Scotland £10.60, NI £10.40

Band 2 example: Large amalgam filling - England £50.50, Wales £42.00, Scotland £18.52, NI £18.00

Band 3 example: Crown - England £219, Wales £180.90, Scotland £70.08, NI £varies

If we're supposed to be ONE NATION, how the fk can this be...?

One of the many reasons that Scotland spends billion more than it puts back in taxes. The wonderful SNP government holding the UK to ransom.

No, we're not.

The UK is a supranational occupying power in all its component nations, only a tiny elite would suffer from its end.

But we take out MORE more.

Given up on the idea of independence yet, or are you still destroying Scotland?

So the report out tomorrow (months ahead of burns night) with pretty much everything which was promised - egg on face for the SNP and those who kept saying don't trust Westminster they have broken the vow.

I put it to you the SNP and Pro Yes broke their promise to rebuild divisions and accept the outcome - they lied.


Block grant will be drastically less as tax will be raised within Scotland and spent within Scotland (fair enough).
