Well As We Seem To Be Discusing Scottish Finance.......

[ToraToraTora]

.....perhaps it's a good time to see if any S N P types have any answers to the famous 10 questions regarding Scotland potentially leaving the UK, never have yet but hope springs eternal.....
1) How will you replace the funding you get from England?
2) Are you happy to continue using the pound but have no control of it?
3) How will you service your part of the national debt?
4) How will you stop the inevitable exodus to England once the decision has been made?
5) Will you continue to offer free prescriptions, university etc ?
6) …if so how far are you prepared to raise taxes for those that remain?
7) How will you attract investment to, what will have to be a high taxation area?
8) How will you replace and fund the parts of the UK infrastructure that you now take for granted? Eg military, police, public transport?
9) are you prepared to adopt the EURO as a condition of joining the EUSSR?
10) Are you prepared to construct a border as a condition of joining the EUSSR?

The SNP have never addressed any of the above perhaps our resident "independence" supporters would like to have a go.

gromit: "gromit: "But Scotland isn’t funded by England. Daft question. " - so all the gloating and thanking us from the blue woad brigade is a misunderstanding then? right oh!

Do you want Scotland to leave the UK and save the "English taxpayers" from funding Scotland or no?

Gromit at 11.28. Why are you telling me something we all know? You asked me a question, I gave you my answer. That you don’t like my answer isn’t my problem.

"...what is it going to use for money?"

Did you miss the lecture by noted economist Kevin Bridges?

It's the Smackeroonie.

You'll always be a millstone, corby.
How could we send foreign aid worldwide and ignore the famine on our doorstep.

Why?

[naomi24]

When Scots break into that rough, bastardised English it always brings to mind David Balfour’s mean and nasty Uncle Ebenezer.

[maggiebee]

It's not //rough, bastardised English// Naomi, it's my native tongue, so awa an' bile yer heid tae!

[THECORBYLOON]

MAGGIE, you'll need to practise yir best pan-loaf accent and stop upsetting Mrs Bucket...

[naomi24]

If you’re referring to me, Corby, Maggiebee’s ‘native’ tongue doesn’t upset me in the least. It makes me laugh - but why anyone would want to speak like that is a mystery to me.
