Rather than looking at it as assisting me look at it as an opportunity to justify the independence position you hold.

I follow this thread out of some perverse need to always remind myself how stupid some people are.

Its not worth commenting specifcally or debating. Eletan has proved herself to be genuinely thick. Shakey surprises me as appears intelligent but to counter that telegraph article with 'yeah but if Scotland was independent' ...... The only possible answer is independent Scotland = massive taxes and low spending. There is no alternative. To claim otherwise is stupidity

Oh do you mean I'm no longer genuinely thick anymore ? And intelligent enough to answer you ? Oh thank you thank you thankyou ... you can still run up ma humph though ...

Yes it goes around in circles a lot. Your last two paragraphs are it in a nutshell. GERS does allocate a share regarding tourists, but it doesn't look likely to be at all accurate.

As it would have to be in the region of £12 billion out in order for there to be a good economic case for Scottish independence I think we can safely say it's good enough.

The problem isn't a few quid here or there from tourists or the c. £100 million that the Scottish Exchequer would earn from whisky sales, it's the £7,500,000,000 in oil taxes and duties that are no longer coming in from the North Sea.

Prove that you are not a thick acolyte then by explaining how i scotland will work financially. If you can I'll apologise and take back my previous comment.

If you don't then I'll just have to assume I was right.

A chance to make me look an idiot.....

You don't really need any chances to look an idiot

Your apology would mean nothing to me anyway so I won't be seeking it

Mistermeaner

Your call. Seems a shame to pass up a chance to justify your position and put a pile of sceptics back in their box. Och aye

If we can't get transparency on Scotland's revenues how is that remotely possible?

Think yourself lucky I'm responding to you.

Good cop, bad cop ring any bells?

If you reply with yet another insult I'll just scroll past.

Gen, you never did give me your analysis of a video I posted long ago. It was about economics/Scotland's revenues & how figures can be manipulated & shifted. You told me it was 'interesting'. You didn't dismiss it as nonsense.

So, as yet you or anyone else here have failed to convince me of your arguments that Scotland would be a basket case.

Oil has boosted the treasury coffers by £300b yet some on here don't think the industry is deserving of assistance.
