Sorry, it must be because I'm not that clever.

The topical discussion for this thread is about all things Scotland.

Whilst I am Scottish, the thread should not be about me. I know you'll respect that

Here a link to the OP post for some ideas on topical discussion points

Eh?
You changed it from being that long ago.

Now some of us (unlike you it seems) have REAL work.
Not just time posting repeated tired rubbish on internet forums, clogging up threads.

Have a lovely rest of your day tapping away.

Ok, it was an example, but since you debunked the myth, how about the opportunity to adjust the taxes on alcohol.

Can Scotland adjust the taxes on Alcohol to aid the industry to be more competitive?

Has it asked if it can?
On taxes decided by the UK there is no reason why they could not be.
IF the reduction was asked for.

Scotland wont be leaving, the UK is likely to get a free trade deal just as Brexiteers said day one;

Mr Barnier said the EU wants the negotiations with the UK to succeed.
"We will need to negotiate a 'bold and ambitious', but fair, free-trade agreement," he said.

That's not the same thing as being in the single market - it's significantly less than the access we have today.

You have no idea what that will mean.
Neither has anyone else.

Are you still a converted Nat then Hamish?

I just wondered if the Tory resurgence up there was tugging at your new found loyalty.

Lets try a different thought.
Could Scotland attract more businesses to Scotland (thus increase exports) by reducing corporation tax?

Again?
Are you really having such difficulty with this concept?

It is indeed an answer.
If it has not been asked for and a response given, how else would we know the answer?
