    While we're on the subject of whether Scotland will choose between taking its own way or relying of the incompetence of Westminster. Whatever the faults of the SNP .
    But lets not forget the failed promises of devo max that the browns pile of vow made
    Lest we forget the failed promase of the only way of scotland staying in the EU was staying in the UK
    Least we forget the tens of hundreds of thousands of lifes lost to the covid rules where other island nations like new zeland counted their deaths in the tens
    Least we forget the billions of pounds lost on failed PPE and test and trace
    Least we forget the Barnard castle eye tests
    Least we forget the leaders that partied while people sacrificed in lock down the night before a royal funeral
    Lest we forget the tanking and the failings of the mini budget and the tanking of the pound and debts that makes ww2 lend and lease program that we did not finish paying off untill the 1990s look like bob a job week
    Least we forget intrest rates of 5+ percent and counting
    Least we forget inflation of 11 percent and
    Least we forget the fact that food banks now out number fast food outlets in the uk now
    And lest we forget the worst economic outlook since the war that will see familyis and children suffer from hypothermia and malnutrion
    Lest we for get the illegal prorogimpng of parliament
    Lest we forget the first G12 country to be issued a formal warning from the world bank
    Lest we forget the first prime minister AND chancellor to be actually charged with a crime while still in office
    And lest we forget the the countless trading tariffs we raised through out Europe and the failing brexit that only succeed in making uk business poorer
    So we should be in no doubt.
    When the time comes
    SCOTLAND WILL MAKE IT's CHOICE

      The IMF have recently forecast the UK to outperform Germany,Italy and France by 2025/6.
      The Scottish people have already made up thier minds . ""50% (-2) of Scottish respondents say they would vote ‘no’ and 43% (+1) say they would vote ‘yes’ "
      You worry about businesses being poorer while the working class can't even afford basic housing thanks to uncontrolled immigration pushing housing prices out of reach of ordinary working families and free movement of labour having compressed wages for the past 15 years!

I could have been listening to the Democrats in America. BTW to see the future of an independent Scotland under the SNP just look at the big cities in America controlled by the Democrats, total ruination of once proud beautiful areas. Areas where it is too dangerous to walk and if you take your car and park up, you return to find the windows smashed and ransacked for any valuables. People actually leave their tailgate open and pin notices saying no valuables left in vehicle. This Lawlessness is happening here in the Uk.
