    Our deficit is 10% of GDP (I think) including oil revenue (your fave)

    The rest of the UK deficit is under 4% (I think)

    Aye but HS2 is pure racist against jocks <steam>

    Oh dear oh dear. Another dumbfuck Nigel that believes everything he is fed.

    The books are cooked my friend. They always have been. Scotland doesn't need to rely on oil but it's a wee Brucey bonus having it.

    UK oil = good for the economy
    Scottish oil = oor wee country's fùcked

    Fùcking lemming.

    Facts are facts and you're running the worst out of all the countries in the UK. Your passion for independence and your hatred of the English is leading you to walk your country into economic suicide. You haven't got the infrastructure to survive alone. Facts are facts.



    Scotland ran a narrower deficit last year as a stronger performance from the oil industry boosted revenues, but the gap between government spending and income was nearly four times higher than the UK as a whole.

    The latest Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (Gers) data for Scotland shows that for 2017-18 overall state spending hit £73.4bn compared to tax income of just under £60bn, including oil revenues. That left a deficit for the year of £13.4bn, compared with £13.5bn the year before. Scotland’s deficit was equivalent to 7.9% of GDP, while for the UK as a whole it was 1.9%.

    Tax revenues for both the onshore economy and the North Sea oil and gas sector rose in the last financial year, by £2bn and £1bn respectively, as the country saw a series of more positive economic figures boosted largely by the oil and gas sector recovery.

    The latest quarterly data for Scotland’s GDP showed a better than expected increase in output, with growth of 0.4% in the first quarter of 2018, twice that for the UK over the same period. Scotland’s employment rate was near record levels at 75.2%, while exports were at their highest recorded.

    But the comparative figures set out in Gers showed overall spending by the UK and Scottish governments was £1,576 higher per head in Scotland than in the UK as a whole – the highest subsidy in recent years.

    Scotland has 8.2% of the UK’s population but absorbed 9.3% of the UK’s total state spending while its share of tax raised across the UK stood at 7.8%. The UK government said this meant the Scottish deficit was equivalent to nearly £1,900 per head more than the UK’s deficit

    Dennis Healey said so, was he nuts.

    The McCrone report said so and that was locked away, hidden. How nuts was that?

    So what you're saying here is that you believe Westminster has been and is now entirely honest and accurate with it's figures regarding Scotland?

    Now that is nuts.

    What if the good people of Scotland vote no again, best of 5 is it? What a ****in plank you are.

    And, of course, as I have stated before, the vast majority of Scotland's population resides in the Central Belt, so if you want to know why Scotland voted no look no further. I can hear Fingers choking on his Chataneuf-du-Pape as I type.

    And this WHOLE country, the UK, has been massively propped up by the North East of Scotland and the income raised by oil revenue taxes.

    So away and bile your heid you fat bigotted alky waste of space.

    And by the way don't assume that I voted No to independence, I tell no-one what or who I vote for. I'm good to myself that way.

    Cheery-bye fatso.
