    I'm an idiot !!! , We wouldn't have GERs in an Independent Scotland its a Westminster invention. Which part of that can't you get that pickled walnut around. Do you have OCD or something ? when I do answer the question and I have several times you just keep asking it again, ONE More time Paddy (and you sure are living up to your name) income, expenditure and borrowing in an Scotland. would be done differently ! 70% of Scotland’s nominal operating deficit was due to £4.1 billion of interest payments on debt we didn’t need. If Scotland had been an independent country over the last 32 years we would have a cash surplus of around £50 billion even if we assume we would still have had the same expenditure including payments for banking collapse and nuclear weapons etc. If we had invested some of that £50 billion in a sovereign oil fund we would probably now have a much larger fund than Norway’s and our economy could be 25% larger than it is today. And that is still possible.. Ok there is a deficit at the moment but if we had control of our own economy we have the the resources and means to reduce that deficit !! THAT'S HOW WE WOULD DEAL WITH IT. Now your question is answered for about the 20th time !!!! we would be able to grow our economy which we can't do now. Oil and Gas prices won't always be that low,

    I'll ask you a question .. Do you think Scotland is a poor country and unable to stand on its own two feet ?

    More phuckin deflection.

    Try and answer without harking back to days of yore and tell me how an iScotland's balance sheet would look going forward.

    Its not an episode of Bullseye with 'let's have a look at what you could've won'.

    Try explaining our bright new future under independence as you c**** failed miserably during the last referendum and it's ultimately what lost it.

    As for your last sentence, I don't believe we are a poor country but I'm not sure if we're rich enough to afford everything we do now, that's where the deficit comes in.

    Have another go son.

    The bottom line is if your to thick to understand what I'm saying there is not much more I can do. Its difficult to know if your being deliberately obtuse or you really are just that thick. I'm happy to discuss this issue with others but no longer with you as its a total waste of my time.

    You c**** always run away when you can't answer.

    You've answered phuck all without referencing another country or what's happened the past 30yrs.

    You c**** lack the ability to look forward and convince the no and floating voters how our finances in an iScotland will stack up. I'm willing to be convinced.

    I really can't see why you keep avoiding the issue.

    Have another go without greetin or running away like a wee lassie.
