    The Scottish Gov't has control of the NHS budget but the pot of money is decided by Westminster.

    Basically we're like a housewife from the 1950s getting house money from her husband.

    I read the Independent for the first time in years on Friday I think it was.

    One article (by GG) stated that the proposed cut to corporation tax would mean a "race to the bottom" in terms of low paid jobs with the lower paid echelons of Scottish and rUK society suffering.

    Two pages on, a column claimed that independent Scotland would have higher corporate taxes (to fund "Salmond's welfare promises"), the increased rate of corporate tax would mean that businesses would move down South meaning lower paid people in Scotland would lose their jobs.


    It doesn't take a genius to realise that these two scenarios are mutually paradoxical.

    Even so, if either outcome occurs, how come they were portrayed as both being bad for the same groups of people?

    Load.
    Of.
    ****e.

    Salmond says that CT will come down... Great for business, absolutely no bearing on "low paid jobs" so whoever wrote that has absolutely no idea about anything and should be raped.

    I've had 4 people in my office today, and all are still undecided.

    ****s and *****s!
