Well As We Seem To Be Discusing Scottish Finance.......

[ToraToraTora]

.....perhaps it's a good time to see if any S N P types have any answers to the famous 10 questions regarding Scotland potentially leaving the UK, never have yet but hope springs eternal.....
1) How will you replace the funding you get from England?
2) Are you happy to continue using the pound but have no control of it?
3) How will you service your part of the national debt?
4) How will you stop the inevitable exodus to England once the decision has been made?
5) Will you continue to offer free prescriptions, university etc ?
6) …if so how far are you prepared to raise taxes for those that remain?
7) How will you attract investment to, what will have to be a high taxation area?
8) How will you replace and fund the parts of the UK infrastructure that you now take for granted? Eg military, police, public transport?
9) are you prepared to adopt the EURO as a condition of joining the EUSSR?
10) Are you prepared to construct a border as a condition of joining the EUSSR?

The SNP have never addressed any of the above perhaps our resident "independence" supporters would like to have a go.

Don't hold your breath, TTT.

And the biggest question is what would happen to Berwick Rangers FC.

Sturgeon probably doesn't care.

[douglas9401]

Will membership of the Ramblers Association be outlawed?

[dave50]

No answers, obviously nobody seems to know.

[perseverer]

Perhaps any Scots on here (whatever their view on independence) do not feel the need to respond to TTTs endless anti-Scottish posts.

(Yes, I know I just did!)

[dave50]

They are perfectly valid points that need addressing.

[DTCwordfan]

11) Have you thought through the economic impact of closing Faslane
12) Will the EU allow the import of lice-infested salmon - if no, what will be the impact of that.
13) Will Murrell be able to siphon off more Party funds on independence and do you or he, Nicola, have an offshore bank account(s).

You forgot health service.

No.14.Where is the missing £600,000?No.15.Where is the missing Peter Murrell?

[royfromaus]

Where are the bikes?

Lots of Scots on twitter asking where the free bikes are.

[ToraToraTora]

DTC, I never said it was an exhaustive list! There are 100s of unanswered questions.

"Perhaps any Scots on here (whatever their view on independence) do not feel the need to respond to TTTs endless anti-Scottish posts.

TTT - you are getting over this and in doing so you are alienating the Scots. Surely there is something else that you can have endless rants about.

[wolf63]

I don't know what happened ... this is how it should read.

TTT - you are getting obsessed about this and in doing so you are alienating the Scots on AB. Surely there is something else that you can have endless rants about.

[DTCwordfan]

after what was said on Radio 4 this morning, there'll be plenty of opportunity for TTT to rant against the Welsh, wolfie....

[bednobs]

Why should any ABers have the answers?
As far as i know, none of them are politicians - the people who they elect to deal with this stuff for them

[wolf63]

I'll look that up later DTC, I am off to do a shift in Oxfam.

[bednobs]

ps there ARE other things TTT can have endless rants about as is self evident if you read AB

[ToraToraTora]

nobs: "Why should any ABers have the answers? " - well if I was supporting my country leaving an entity I would want the answers to those sorts of questions.

[ToraToraTora]

nobs: "Why should any ABers have the answers? " - well if I was supporting my country leaving an entity I would want the answers to those sorts of questions. So it stands to reason that they should at least be able to proffer some sort of answer......unless they are just blindly following a Nationalist of course and I hoped the Scots would be more erudite than that.

[bednobs]

i suggest if you'd have asked the majority of people those sorts of questions before the brexit vote, people would have been able to say what they would like to happen, but no idea how the mechanics of fishing quotas, industry and money would actually work (as there was not even any sort of deal - there couldnt be because hte vote hadnt happened)
