Cheers ... means I can now make sure I avoid it!

Is this an economics lesson?

If the UK is working for Scotland, how can Ireland (which at Independence was by far the most undeveloped part of the UK) at the end of the worst recession in its history still have a bigger GDP per head than Scotland, including its oil?

Of course it does.

No it doesn't.

You are quoting unconfirmed figures and divided it be an approx figure of our population. That does not equate to how much money Scotland would have from Oil.

The point is we would be better spending our oil money on ourselves rather than the rest of the UK. If we did that we would all be better off.

Ireland is a ****hole.

There endeth the lethon

 

[RAVENBLACK]

Of course it does. Why share that wealth?

It's the North East and Shetlands and Western Isles wealth.

We're not subsidising you lazy arsed ****ers in the backwater that is the Central Belt. **** right off.

You'd be better off purely by switching off Not606 and going back to school.

The Micks are skint, everyone knows that.

One esteemed Economist on this site, Barrie Lochrie ESQ, points to Ireland as a doomsday scenario for an independent Jockland.

Is wealth redistribution not a good thing?

not according to this *****. Unless it's unequally shared in an independent Scotchland.

Instead you would rather subsidise the whole of the UK.

The part of Ireland that is in the UK is the biggest ****ehole in Ireland, and the UK!

I'll subsidise your arse with my fist if you're up for it?

 

[RAVENBLACK]

The tattie avoiders constantly rely on the countries that make money to bail them out of poverty.

****in hangers on, no more no less.

Decades of inbreeding and religious dogma.

Barrie is Rangers minded, always reaches for the red white and baloo specs.

No I'd rather we here stopped propping up you work shy ****ers in the Central Belt. You contribute **** all to the UK unlike London and the North East Of Scotchland.

Decades of inbreeding and religious dogma.

From a weegie

Our historical religious problems stem from Scotland.

Didn't you want to stay in the Union because England bails you out under Barnett every year?
