Press 'rewind' and 'play' - From The Independent - 'The Scottish Labour leader is now facing criticism after he used a General Election leaders’ debate to state: “Read my lips - no austerity under Labour”.' Bah! They not only can't tell the truth, they have to target a section of the population to discriminate against. I didn't vote Labour and there could be others in Scotland saying the same. We are stuck with the red Tories until we do the sensible thing, the real and staring-us-in-the-face move - claim our freedom. Thanks, Gordon, for your update today.
It’s true that the Scottish Government is a currency user and that it can spend only what it is given by Westminster (more or less) but tax doesn’t fund government spending. This is the neo-liberal con popularised by Thatcher and others and originally formulated so as to limit the power of governments by an economist who hated being told what he could do by government (it is claimed). See ‘The Deficit Myth’ by Kelton, numerous postings by Scottish Currency Group, Scottish MMT, Prof. Richard Murphy. This is why an Independent Scotland must have its own currency and not join the Eurozone.
Whoever gave Flamingo land so much power needs taking to court. Why shouldn't anyone else be allowed to do what they want. Surely, this can be stopped by the legal system.
Virtually nothing ??? £ 205,000,000 Given to operators of Scotland's wind farms by the SNP for NOT generating electricity, because the operators have a contract which guarantees them a set level of profit. All offshore wind farm licences sold to non-Scottish companies. £ 32,000,000 by the SNP to Scottish Quango Chief Exec Salaries of almost 100 public bodies. £17.6 Billion specifically siphoned off from the Barnett monies by the SNP to spend on other undisclosed projects.
Fact of life-Scotland has a 10.4% fiscal deficit compared to 4.5 % for UK. This means independence and any currency is completely unviable. Dont worry it'll never happen.

And yet they still keep building more and more wind farms.
