    If not, we have no one to blame but ourselves.



    Shetland Don, I get you hate SNP and Sturgeon but what is it that you think that being in the UK gives Scotland?

    Where do we start, money for furlough during covid, money for struggling Companies during covid, money for gas, leccy shipbuilding contracts, the list goes on but believe most important is the thousands of Scots in the UK Armed Forces which help to defend these islands of ours. just think about it.

    On second thoughts, I might miss spending zillions on pretending we’re world leaders.

    Great debater, clearly.

    Answer his many, some would say valid, points with remarks more erudite than “shiny ****” and “melt”, whatever these mean.

    There’s also a potentially valid argument to say that Scotland takes a lot more out that it puts in.

    Which is why we need Kate in charge.

    She’d ask the second question.

    1/ what do we want?

    2/ how do we pay for it?

    She speaks quite well but I’m not sure if her history degree qualifies her on fiscal matters, to be frank.

    There's an equally valid argument that says that those wanting Scotland to remain in the UK would say that.

    Tell me, when unionists talk about all the dodgy accounting by the SNP over ferries and party funding, how exactly do they feel about ppe and Michelle Mone's companies or unelected peers as ministers?
