So in essence we’d make some savings but face far higher costs?

And these would be paid how bearing in mind we have a huge deficit which would immediately worsen and place us in a position that no world bank would lend to.

Why is there a deficit? You're tethered like a goat.

The link I posted demonstrates how well other countries similar to Scotland in Europe are doing. Meanwhile Scotland has to be given money, have nonsense like Brexit forced down their throats and told they will die if they even think of independence.

Independent Scotland would have many more revenues to collect anyway, and there's many more things missing from this debate.

Saying "Scotland would be far worse off for decades" is based on little to no meaningful evidence and is plain scaremongering.

Why is there a deficit?

Are you even trying to be serious?

Scotland already has a massive deficit.

Seriously, you’re not worth debating with if this is the level. Sticking up widely rubbished reports that were prepared by the protagonists and which you never bothered to read, and now asking if there’s a deficit?

i think it will be unnecessary for scotland to have nuclear weapons quite frankly
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If everyone in the Western world went down that path what do you think would happen?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What would happen?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I’d imagine for starters that Putin would happily roll his troops as far and as wide as possible into any country he believes is part of the “motherland”. Why do you think so many countries are desperate to join NATO and the like.

Every week Scotland is “buzzed” by Russian jets. Is that just for fun or to test our response abilities?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well Scotland having nuclear weapons in addition to all the countries that already do, wouldn't make a difference to what Russia chooses to do
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So we ditch ours and just depend on everyone else to pitch in if needed?

What kind of alliance is that?

Scotland is the one of the key defence/attack bases. Not sure letting that go would help in the grand order of things
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please stick to the context of the manner in which the point was made on this article. It's not a generalisation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fwck off. It’s a discussion forum. I’ll choose what I want to talk about.

Who made you Laird of the Internet?

Holy crap. I'm just saying that in a debate it makes sense to stick to the context withing which a point was made. If it's a hypothetical point then let's go with that instead of comparing it to reality.

My goodness, you're a clever chap, aren't you?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It is reality.

And thanks

Christ this is banal.

I’m away to watch the Hibs game.

Tell you what

I’ll make this easy. You’re absolutely right.

I’ve no doubt now that the majority of Scots living in Scotland will acknowledge this and vote for it

Like last time.

Oh wait……

Are you ree tarded?

Where did I ask if there is a deficit you nincompoop? I asked why there's a deficit. You're so stupid you can't read properly. No wonder you believe the bullsheet that you believe, because you're well educated but ultimately not very clever, and there's no cure for that.

While other countries similar to Scotland have the happiest populations in earth, bigger more affluent middles classes, welfare that works like a charm, less poverty etc

Meanwhile Scotland is tethered to England like a goat by stuff like the deficit and told they can't make it on their own.

Wasn't it 55% to 44% last time? After Brexit, Covid and the great Tory tribulation, be careful what you wish for.

Am I reetarded?

Mask slipped a wee bit there?

And I don’t wish for anything. I’m pointing out the dangers and costs of Scotland going independent.

“Am I reetarded”?

Stop deflecting and explain this.

"Why is there a deficit?

Are you even trying to be serious?

Scotland already has a massive deficit."

You can't even read so please don't try to tell us what your preferred handpicked panel of "experts" think of independence.

Now bolt. I’m done with you. You’ve resorted to petty insults and then have the audacity to avoid it when laughed at.

Bye

I think he's right Ginger, Scotland is awash with filthy lucre if only they didn't give it all to Westminster
