    My take on it is I wud happily pay a bit more to run our own country. Just like I wud happily watch a dees team filled we local lads on a budget we cud sustain.
    Downsize is the only way both wud work I reckon but it wud in time get better.
    The world's finances are mental in reality. The yanks owe trillions yet are classed as one of the richest countries, yet we still have kids dying through hunger.
    Work that ane oot.

    I didn't think iScotland was allowed to join the EU, hard to keep track. Brexit won't bed down till the tories actually implement it, which at present is Jan 2022. Not forgetting the EU is currently taking legal action as the tories have unilaterally abandoned the NI protocol. And wait till people are stuck in airport queues for 5 hours, they dodged a bullet there with the covid restrictions.

    I wouldnae....but it's irrelevant to me....I just think the best people to spend money is the person who earns it.

    Income tax was a temporary tax measure to pay for the Napoleonic wars if I mind right....bit like temporary lockdoon😁

    Who's the 3rd party who owns the loans/debts when it comes to the UK? Oh that's right, it's the UK. Scotland is part of the UK, it doesn't owe anything to it.

    The exemptions are interesting.

    Income tax exists to control inflation and keep prices low, it doesn't actually pay for anything. Do you want hyper-inflation in the UK?
