Interesting Evening

[maggiebee]

Just spent an interesting evening in the company of Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond. As part of One Million Questions he was at the University of Dundee for a Q & A session. The evening certainly confirmed the way I will be voting on 18th September.

Naughty tony!
;-)

[tonyav]

Well from What I can gather, Baldric, not everybody in Scotland likes him.

[berniecuddles]

tone you've been told!! lol

[Baldric]

Yep, there's quite a few I believe!

[tonyav]

It's not the first time, bernie !.

[wolf63]

Tony, as time goes on fewer and fewer people like him. I used to like him but he has been getting on my nerves as of late.

[Svejk]

the debate 'rages' on in Scotland

[tonyav]

wolf, what has made you go off him ?.

[anneasquith]

so many English people so interested in Scotland, im perplexed.!!!!!!!!!

[SirOracle]

Think they will really miss us.

[Baldric]

For those of us south of the border it will be good not to have to pay the subsidy to keep Scotland afloat annually!

[askyourgran]

Not a fan of Salmond, and I really don't want to stand an hour in border checks the next time I go there, if Scotland do go solo. But having said the we haven't got any worthwhile borders have we.

[SirOracle]

Think you are believing the wrong statistics.

[Baldric]

From BBC Business News

///Scotland 'got' £16.5bn more in UK public spending in 2009-10 than it contributed to total UK revenues - or a 'subsidy' of around £3,150 per head.///

[Wharton]

askyourgran - There are plenty of answers here bordering on the insane :-)

[SirOracle]

These figures are hotly disputed Baldric.

[anneasquith]

now maybe someone can answer this. as Scotland is so expensive to keep, why are all political parties opposed to independence,,,,,,,,,,,,,and in truth not many of you know what you are talking about. but hey ho !

[murraymints]

Salmond is a self serving numpty !

[anneasquith]

salmond is not the only politician in Scotland,
