I'm assuming one of the vanity is trident which employs 1000's in Scotland. I know many vanity/sanity projects that London 'needs'. If you think that London producing 20% of UK GDP doesn't benefit Scotland which is part of the UK, then you're not thinking of the bigger picture. I don't agree that London should get nearly 5 times more spending per head than anywhere else in the UK but I don know that London's success benefits the UK because it is so dominant.

It's not up to Salmond though. He'll need to be elected in the first place and I'm assuming an ex Banking economist, he should know that if the nation gets richer, then so do the people, therefore, if you have more money in your purse, then you'll be benefiting from an independent Scotland and so will the Scottish people.

Well, I'm not too sure. The UK led the world and is still admired in some quarters. My main worry is that if GB is broken up, then we could weaken Scotland and the rUK. The rise of the Eastern giants in China and India who, along with the other BRIC countries are setting up their own development bank to rival the World Bank due to grumblings about the old colonial powers holding too much sway, might be a watershed for us... or it'll probably happen anyway...

We might and we might not. If we chose the wrong economic path, we won't be better placed.

Stopped reading here, IDIOT!

 

Wee businessman fae the arsehole of nowhere versus the Government's Business Secretary.

I wont waste my time reading any more of your posts after that ****e.

 

That is your problem. You only read what you want.

I countered that first sentences with why London is also bad for the rest of the UK.

The Londoncentric policies is why the rest of the UK took 5 years to get back to pre-recession levels whereas London just kept growing thoughout.

 

Wit?

You stopped reading at the last line of the post. Well done son

 

Can you feel the beel?

 

That was the joke you drunken old *****

You are without doubt, the thickest **** that has ever been on here, and that includes Mindy and Son of Mindy.

Scotland will be fine. We have lots and lots of lovely oil.

 

The worrying thing is that more and more people are thinking in this way in a weird circle bringing us right back to Victorian times.

The less charity there is, the better - the less it's required, the less it's focused - the US has a "small state, small welfare, big charity" model.

"I don't see the problem with poorhouses, a welfare state will simply stop these people being productive and philanthropists donating to them."

I'm sure if there was one mass charitable philanthropist covering most of the charity in the UK and he could wilfuly not donate to Protestants cos he didn't like them (like Barnardo in reverse), you'd be beeling.

Having the state provide for the people enables it to be held to account.

"What's the matter with foodbanks?"

FFS.

 

And still I seem far more intelligent than you.

 

Yes... I get that.

But I also look at the Irish diaspora and how even after leaving the Empire, Irish migration continued around the world and actually increased. I know that 20% of Scottish born people live in England and wonder how that would change, or if it would stop it. There is then an arguement about brain drain to Scottish cities from Scottish towns. Is it not just natural that people are attracted to big cities, which attract business, which attracts people, which attracts businees, etc...Graduates make up 58 per cent of London's work force, compared with 38 per cent in the working age population in the rest of the UK. How would an Independent Scotland stop that? There is evidence that agglomeration economics fuels London’s success and that would still happen if Scotland was independent.

Unless they cut CT, gave the big companies free buildings and opened the floodgates to Europe's cleverest people. But I don't see that happening in Scotland.

 

We could use the oil to pay for benefits or do what Norway does and invest all its oil bounty abroad... and then with the interest on the initial investment, invest all that abroad too except for 4% which they spend in Norway... or we could just pay for ****s not to work or pay for stupid people to stay stupid and breed idiots like your mammy and daddy..

 

So anyhoo.......wits the polls saying today?

 

Nope, bouncy castles for everybody.

What's with this "we". What the **** will it have to do with you? You willl be down there in foodbank free Banbury living the high life.
