Eric, where have you been living, we already pay more tax, yet you want people who are supposedly struggling, using food banks, not able to heat their homes just now to pay even more tax, this independent mob have set this country back decades, they are responsible for the NHS up here, but they’d rather waste money on passing bills on folk with dicks dressing up in skirts, we won’t even mention the £500 million plus wasted on the ferries, but it’s all Westminsters fault, we all agree the mob down south are corrupt, but the SNP have plenty looking after themselves, don’t hear much about the expenses claimed by many of them
Where is the money to pay for all the issues you have quoted going to come from in an independent Scotland.
Despite having the extra welfare powers that the SNP controlled Scottish Government demanded from Westminster and the record £41 billion they received from Westminster under the rules of the Barnett Formula this year the Scottish Government have stated on numerous occasions that they cannot use these extra welfare powers because they are too expensive to use.
This is the real world not Brigadoon.
There is no point in the SNP MSPs demanding extra powers from Westminster if they are not going to use them.
No wonder all the devolved matters which come under the control of the Scottish Government are shambles and if Humza Yousef is appointed leader of the SNP and First Minister things will get worse not better.
Yousef was hopeless as Transport Minister, Cabinet Secretary for Justice and now Cabinet Secretary for Health.
Normally it is three strikes and you are out but in the SNP controlled Scottish Government it often results in people being promoted to their level of incompetence.
We have the same problem in Dundee Football Club.
I have not mentioned the snp,I would prefer a strong labour party running scotland,but the amount of wasted cash in Scotland and the UK is incredible and could be far better spent elsewhere.
Justice system,crazy money
Early retirement for polis,fireman etc why?
Methadone program obviously costly and doing heehaw to address problem.
Mps expenses
All this extra cash could help not just Scotland but if yer happy in the UK the whole of the UK.
I've never had much fae the state and earned all my life and like rros like to spend my hard earned but we obviously contribute to help those unable to work.
I would like those in need to get what they need and those lazy ones to have to work like the majority.
Maybe a stronger labour party can start to challenge the snp.
The whole UK is broken it's like being back in the 70,s again.
Did you know Andrew innes the man who killed the woman and child then buried them has appealed?
The right of every killer.
It will cost tens of thousands and that is only if it gets thrown out first time,could go on for years.
Add to that legal aid.
Plenty cash to be saved there for starters.
If labour get in in Scotland then you can be sure they would be in control of the whole uk, they ain’t going to give up control by granting independence, I’d vote for any party that lowers the retirement age, and ups the pension, but unfortunately it won’t happen, every party that’s ever been in control squander the cash, it’s because of social media we are hearing more about it
