Well, I've been looking forward to your explanation of how any independent Scotland would find that £8 bn or so to replace the subsidy it currently receives.:)
I haven't been holding my breath.
But it is just a tad hypocritical for you to demand an "explanation" when you are so unwilling to so so yourself.
I asked Tricky to explain why HMRC figures are out by 10 billion and 5 billion by their own statistics after changing methodologies. Predictably, when he hasn't gotten big bad bloggers names to hide behind, he disappears.It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?0 -

Doesn't that just mean that you better get a bl00dy move on? Brexit is in March 2019!
Whatcha gonna do?
Of course, the "simple explanation" would be that you don't have the faintest idea of what you're on about.:)
P.S. Wales doesn't subsidise Scotland. Their main complaint is that you get a much bigger subsidy than they do. There have even been suggestions that Scotland should get less, so Wales could get it's fair share.0 -

Looking forward to your explanation but won't hold my breath for one.
Have to admit this one did leave me scratching my head as to why the SNP didnt figure this out long before now, why are Scotland accepting WM obviously distorted figures for their Gers? oh and I have also noted alot of the GERS deficit moaners seemed to have shut up suddenly ... wonder why lol

........ sometimes when were silent it's cause were busy beavering away on the Yes campaign
Or in reality because your all a busted flush. You have been found, weighed, measured and found wanting.
You have nothing new to say, the people of Scotland turned their back on you at the General Election.
The fishermen think you are a mad as a box of frogs
No mention of independence in your Conference agenda.
Your ex leader now taking up stand up.
Still trying to carry on with the named person.
The police force is now a joke (missing man found dead in his own house)
Call handlers don't know where people are (* last two/three are all about centralising power and hee haw to do with saving money)
People now realise freezing council tax was just a bribe.0 -
Please please keep telling everyone that's what we're doing ... we would greatly appreciate it ... thank you for your service towards the independence movement0

Whatcha gonna do?Theresa May’s second-in-command slaps down Ruth Davidson for questioning immigration target as he defends pledge to reduce it to ‘tens of thousands’....
..she said “we have to ask whether the target continues to be the right one”, sparkling a potential split at the top of the party....Ms Davidson also contradicted the Prime Minister by arguing for overseas students to be removed from net migration figures.Of course, the "simple explanation" would be that you don't have the faintest idea of what you're on about.:)

No one advocating independence wants any subsidy. We've been through all this before. :cool:It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.

Doom and gloom will no win votes either. As the old saying goes "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".0
