    The SNP get little opportunity to spin.

    Let's debate the NHS not the economy...........

    50,000 RPM political spin.

    Oldest trick in the book change the topic. When in doubt raise the issue of the NHS.

    Can't wait for this thread to finish. Clearly anti-union judging by its anti-devolved government rants, patronising at best, hateful at worst, contradictory always.

    At one stage I thought I also detected a slight ant-independence bias, but what's the chances of that happening?

    None.
    Mr Salmond claimed he had caveated his “generation” pledge with the phrase “in my opinion” and argued that this was superseded by Nicola Sturgeon saying during last year’s general election campaign that another referendum could be staged sooner if the UK votes to leave the EU.

    As the record will simply run and run to suit the tune.

    Nah, it's just part of something a lot larger in terms of pro-independence websites. Common Space, Bella, Wings, Newsnet, Bateman, Weeginger dug etc. Its just that the National and the Sunday Herald are the only pro indy news outlets in print.

    Mine is delivered via email every morning, but most will probably access single articles via Twitter. Which is free to do.

    Oh right. I thought it was wee. But I see that it is huge. Just not in a way that is in any way visible.

    And you admitted that Wings were nutbars before.

    You say that but don't you think it's possible there's a rota where 7 nationalists take it in turns to visit Common Space et al to cut and paste the content on Twitter where it's consumed by millions?

    Nah you just don't like a genuinely critical light being shone through the smoke under the hood of the mess that would be an independent Scotland's fiscal position.

    Anyway, we've finally identified the plan: an independent Scotland would be arranged completely differently than now (reasonable) and so that would find £9bn (risible). That's all I wanted to understand, is how the fantasy was meant to fill the gap.

    actions speak louder than words.

    you, and all the other fake expat scots, had the opportunity of a lifetime, to create that utopian socialist nationalistic paradise, by returning to scotland in droves and voting YES.

    Instead you betrayed scotland and choose to live in the Tory hell hole.

    Still, when one has to choose between the welfare of one's family and a scot fantasy, it's a no brainer.

    The plan of lack of has been apparent for some time. All the great illusionists eventually get exposed.

    What like Momentum you mean ? Corbyn could do with a few nutbars like Wings or similar on his side to be honest. Like the SNP, without any media support whatsoever. He and any Labour leader even slightly to the left of Tony Blair these days needs to use the internet to it's full advantage.
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?
