I'm willing to bet that if you showed that to 2 million people and asked who is this meant to be, not a single one
would say Sturgeon.

I wouldn't have said it was Sturgeon.

It is funny, to be fair.

It's Sturgeon alright. Painted by Letitia Gilbaud and titled "Naughty Nicola" it was bought by Peter Murrell as a birthday present and now hangs in Bute House.

I didn't lie.

What did you do then? You told us “the UK is sinking fast” then rhymed off a list of “facts”, of which the first two I checked were bullst. Others are irrelevant to your claim, such as real wage growth slowing. And you won’t reveal where you read the stats because you made them up, or misunderstood catastrophically.

Employment rates are down. They’re actually at their highest ever level

FTSE 250 is down since the EU referendum. It was about 16000 in June 2016 and is now above 20000 ETA - just short of its highest ever level too!

Really?

"The number of Scots in work fell by 43,000, to 2,643,000"

Scotland's employment falls faster and its unemployment rises faster than any other part of UK

As for the FTSE comment, markets fluctuate and I could bore you to death with facts and figures on that but it's not as plain as you seem to think.

You said the UK is sinking fast. The UK employment is at its highest ever level. Why are you using Scottish figures to say the UK is sinking fast?

FTSE is 25% higher than the EU referendum. How the fk is that anything other than clear cut


You’re ridiculous. Totally ridiculous.

Which FTSE index are you talking about? FTSE100 or FTSE250? The 250 has a greater proportion of domestic revenue so is a slightly better indicator, but you already knew that.

Regardless, we're still the bottom of the G7 league and the economy is 1%-1.5% lower than it would have been had we not voted for Brexit. although the Centre for European Reform suggested the it could have been as much as 2.5%.

OK, now I'm confused - you seem to be posting links that demonstrate the arguments against the SNP record as being evidence that supports independence or the weakness of rUK

Yes - must admit that it seemed a bit of an own goal posting those links.

Edinburger in the quote he posted said:

FTSE 250 is down since the EU referendum.

It isn't often on PH that someone has so comprehensively made their own argument look like the utterings of a fool. I think I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and suggest he may have been hacked?

You really are taking the piss now

You said the FTSE 250 was down.

You’ve even quoted the FTSE 250 graph in your reply.

In this thread, you now have to wade through droves of crap written about the UK and about British people, society and culture to find any decent info or debate.

I doubt she is on a farewell tour but the rest of the article is pretty near the mark.
