    Past performance: 1 year zip, 5 years zip, 10 years zip.

    Fund based: la la land.
    I think we know there is no big pot of money used to pay pensions, the tories spent it all in the 80s.

    I think when the topic of debt came up, it was more relevant to say if Scotland has to take a share of it, then it gets a share of the UK assets as well. Such as gold deposits, foreign currency reserves, any UK property in Scotland such as Faslane which the UK would probably rent as they'd never want nukes anywhere near England. Plenty stuff to be worked out nearer the time

    I see what you are saying it the current expenditure is way way more than any assets IMO.

    So there is no fund now.

    Glad you agree

    Gold and foreign currency reserves would total about £50bn for a per capita share, if Scotland is expected to take per capital share of debt. Not sure what current expenditure you're referring to. Would cost rUK over £200bn and at least a decade to relocate Trident so deals to be made, cheer up.

    Of course there's a fund. There just isn't any money in it

    Holyrood 2021 will be framed as a vote for an independent Scotland or direct rule from Westminster. So if anyone thinks gove and johnson are trustworthy, can you explain your reasoning. Let's not forget, they are both drug addicts/alcoholics, one of them was rushed to hospital a few months back for an emergency detox. Worth trusting them with Scotland's NHS?

    Only by the SNP who want the focus away from what they have real responsibility and accountability over. The braveheart brigadoon brigade will fall for it though.

    The Scottish NHS is nothing to do with anyone other than the Scottish government.

But of course they omitted to mention that it's currently taxed at the UK border and if independent it would be taxed at the Scottish border.
    Scotland’s major exports are not taxed at the UK border as they don’t leave the UK.

    60% of our exports go to the rest of the UK. Approx 22% to European Union and only 18% to the RotW.

    Those percentages add up and make sense.

    Wasted on the Bravehearts though.
