    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.
    Looks like to me you only read what supports your politics and you disregard the rest.
    How do we get the 1-6 trillion of dept created by Westminster down.
    It's not by renewing trident at a cost of now over 205bn .
    Well how do we get that 1-6 trillion of dept down I await your reply .

    More deflection. I'll type the next bit slowly to see if you can understand it any easier and to see if you can answer the question.

    How would an iScotland deal with near 15bn hole in our finances?

    Buc , Noah's question has not been answered at all. You are like the party you support, deny, deflect and blame someone else.
    Maybe you will answer me. Please explain how an independent Scotland will handle the 15 billion pound hole in our finances ? Thanks in advance

    And I would say you want independence at any cost. I remember you saying that you would give your life for Scotland to be independent.Now to me that is at any cost. I certainly wouldn't give my life for Scotland to stay in the Union. And your hate for the Union shines through as you have proven time and time again. That's fair enough but you have to accept that there is people like myself that totally disagrees with your political views in every shape and form. People,that love both Scotland and GB.
    That's life

    Bodie please try and understand what is being said here. GERS is compiled by the Westminster Government regardless of who is in charge and the base data comes from the Treasury in London these are facts. Using the data supplied to them the civil servants in Scotland compile the GERS figures using accounting rules laid down by / agreed with the Treasury for all regional accounts, North of England, Wales etc etc – it therefor includes a population share of costs of running the UK of which many would not apply in an independent Scotland. These figures cannot be used to compare an independent Scotland. Much of this particular figures have been accrued in Westminster. I'll give you one example ..Defence Scotland's contribution is £3Bn but it only has £1.3 is spent in Scotland thus we have £1.7Bn added to our running costs. So the point I'm trying to get across is its totally ridiculous to ask how an Independent Scotland would deal with a £14Bn deficit because we would be in a completely different situation. Without being rude do you actually understand that Bodie. ?

    Spin it how you want Stewarty, you lot are good at that. Scotland would have a massive deficit and we would be screwed.
    And how phucking rude and condescending, I thought you were better than that

    Scotland's deficit would be no bigger than the rest of the UK's and there is absolutely no reason whatsoever except blind bias to believe that Scotland would be 'screwed'

    IQ27 is one of Nanny Nikki's little scotomatons who sit at keyboards all day spouting pre-fabricated propaganda from the Ministry of Truth. The fact he actually believes it is a bonus for them

    Bodie you are the as huge a unionist with nearly the same dislike!e as noarab so NOTHING we ever will say will change your thoughts

    But will say this you are at least a gentleman of this board unlike your unionist friend Paddy .

    You are better posting over the road as I feel it will end up just a political board full of stalemate and even fewer posters on here they are leaving because of the likes of your hate filled friend ..

    Just look at his abusive rude replies even though you may agree with his Politics I'm sorry to say this but he comes across as not all there .
