if they do leave does all funding stop from Westminster.

[ToraToraTora]

I can't see why it wouldn't emmie.

[emmie]

how will they manage to offer all the Scots the freebies they currently enjoy, like free university places, prescriptions, and more to come apparently.

[emmie]

maggie posted a long list of pledges by the SNP for the forceeable future, how can they pay for them if they become independent.

[Jackdaw33]

One would imagine so, unless it is in the guise of aid to third world countries.

[emmie]

are you saying/suggesting that Scotland independent will be a third world country?

[Jackdaw33]

...and some fell on stony ground!

10.43, The uk is already is a third world Country, since dropping out of the E/U.

[emmie]

not appropriate to this thread gulliver, and no we are not.

[ToraToraTora]

//10.43, The uk is already is a third world Country, since dropping out of the E/U.//

So, alongside the other 167 then. Including the USA, Japan, Australia, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand (I could go on but you're lucky I've responded at all to such a ridiculous statement).

[emmie]

according to the site on world economies i just viewed, we are sixth in the queue, ahead of France, Italy.

[THECORBYLOON]

Is there a link to the actual ITS report?

[THECORBYLOON]

[emmie]

oh ok.

//It also found the Scottish government had used temporary coronavirus funding to pay for some permanent policies.//

If it has done that then questions need to be asked and the money clawed back.

In answer to the OP I suspect the ones that would 'vote for a donkey if it had a SNP rosette on' crowd would still vote yes. They will think any price is worth paying for 'freedom' to rule yourselves, and in some some way I do respect that way of thinking.

[Peter Pedant]

oh yeah no
I thought this was a q from that madman gulliver or atheist asking
do you still want to Brexit?

but no ( or nooooo! och aye!) it is a calm and sensible AB on a fave subject with new and inspiring answers!

[Peter Pedant]

// the ones that would 'vote for a donkey//
