Call my cynical but there looks to be good money in setting up a political party, especially if you're clearly not going to get anywhere near power and have to do anything. Didn't that walking definition of knob head Fox get £5 million for his lot?

I assumed from the whippet and all that this was an April fool – no?

I used to think Farage was just a performance art homage to Alan Partridge

Also highly likely to get a lot of companies moving to Scotland to remain in the EU.

You are regurgitating SNP policy which hasn't been updated to reflect we have left the EU and that rejoining would be years away for iS. You'd think they would update prior to campaigning for indyref2....

iS would be outside the current UK-EU deal so would be third country for UK-EU trade, or it could be in the EU (unlikely but let's go with it) so there would be a single market border with England. Either way you put a border in with rUK at the behest of the EU.

What you miss tho is the profits would be assessed as scottish and scots taxation paid on them

Except multinational companies work around this eg, Starbucks, Amazon, Google, apple etc

iS would be competing with Ireland and rUK to try and offer tax incentives

There is a well established Independence Party for the north. It’s called the Yorkshire Party. Freedom for Yorkshire and it better be cheap.
