Lol! Well you can clearly detect the frustration of watching the same shameless political antics of the usual suspects that I've observed so often in British politics and referenda since 2014! It never changes and there is a much of a muchness re the attitudes of all these allied unionists particularly north of the border and I won't be the only voting Scot to be aware of it and highlight that fact!
We'll afford the likes of the payments to the EU through proper fiscal prudence after we take back full fiscal power to run our own economy and country! For example, based on GERS figures (much of them estimated by financial experts, statisticians and economists btw) did you know that Scotland's current annual incoming finance is roughly £60B with all outgoing finances reckoned to be about £15B and that's without looking at a positive push towards enhancing our inward investments! I think a small country like Scotland can work very well from that economic base and push on with making it better!! Also note that GERS is a very poor advertisement for the Union for obvious reasons and that's why many pro union and UK govt people continually try to undermine the GERS data!

The way I see it we can't keep going with austerity and Dickensian economics when it isn't working and we can't keep borrowing more money, borrow now and worry later won't work either.
0762 if Scotland leave the Union then Scotland will have to pay a share of the National debt and how are you going to be able to afford the payments to the EU?
