    I've always asked for transparency with gov figures. Spending/revenues/ uk spending on Scotland's behalf. I've asked on here many times and never had a satisfactory explanation either. It's always been the same, we are subsidised to the tune of millions, why can't you just accept that. I'm not saying we aren't subsidised but I am unclear as to how much.

    15Bn is generally acknowledged as a the realistic figure. It may be accurate or it may not.

    However, you would have thought if it wasn't and it could be shown clearly and unambiguously to be substantially less, the SNP would have have told the world by now.
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.

    Shakey, Leanne, Beecher and elantan; you might want to live the rest of your life in a second rate economy; I don't.

    I'm out of this thread....ALL nationalism disgusts me.

    Have you seen the state of the British Economy?

    Funny how British nationalism is never seen as nationalism.

    Who mentioned british nationalism; I haven't.

    I'm an internationalist if anything.

    What about embracing THAT as a concept to address the ills of the world.

    Wait a minute; no westminster bashing there so that's no use then.

    Not yet that I know of. Don't think it will be too long though. He threw his toys out but he will soon get bored.
