I voted yes....but felt like I'd been kicked in the ba's the day

[Bodie80]

And we could do without your sarcasm Bodie. Show a bit o respect

It is a massive problem though that we need proper answers to. We also don't want to hear everything blamed on big bad Westminster. They need to take some bloody resposibility for all their failures for once.
To show respect the SNP need to gain it and honestly Stewarty I have zero respect for them and what they have done and are doing. I would respect them more if they put aside this ridiculous idea of independence that is getting ripped apart week by week and put all their efforts into running Scotland properly and stop blaming Westminster for everything.

[stewarty27]

So no answers as to how we plug the 14bn gap?

Plenty of whataboutery though

Pap.

Dearie me Paddy there is just no hope for you is there ? Under Westminster rule we are now part of a 1.64 TRillion black hole. And you talk about Whataboutery !! you really are a closed mind clot. Re the 14b and how to plug it

one word

Independence. it really is as simple as that.

Here's one thought. which of course you will just ignore ! but I'll write it anyway.

Norway produces roughly twice as much oil as Scotland; they make £10bn/year in tax at current prices, while Scotland makes £60m or just 11p per barrel, according to GERS. A new report from the Tax Justice Network says the UK is actually giving its oil away for less than nothing.
Something tells me indyScot would find a way to cover its deficit... Don't you think Paddy ?

[stewarty27]

Edit... SCOTLAND'S OIL.

So no answers but more whatabouterry.

Phuckin pap.

They don't have answers Noah, all they have is blame and whatabouterry and we all know who they blame for absolutely everything.
In all honesty they don't have a clue and are prepared to put all our futures at risk for their own pipe dream. Selfish and very worrying

You're worried are you Bodie. Well for me that's very pleasing that an ubar Britnat fanatic like yourself is worried. Could it possibly be you know the Union is totally unsustainable, Your half wit cohort from Dundee is also worried that its him that has no answers, Whatever he thinks about the state of Scotland's finances (and it seems to give him and his ilk a fair amount of glee to point out how totally shyte we are.) the bottom line is For the past 300 years the levers of economic control in Scotland have been firmly in the hands of the Westminster Parliament. that's not whataboutery that's a glaring fact.

Phuckin pap.

Not sure what life is like for you in Monifieth Paddy but going by your replies on here I hope they don't reflect on your personality.

[noahrab]

Still no answers from Braveheart and Rob Roy as to how an iScotland would fill the near 15bn hole in our finances.

Proof if any was needed that these types want independence regardless of the cost to Scotland. In reality they don't really care about democracy or the future of our country.

Couple of paps.

[GFLower]

15bn hole in our finances?

Just goes to show the power of the media. You can fool some of the people ALL of the time
