    I am glad tomorrows papers in Scotland will not be awash with jingoistic nationalist flag waving

    For all the faults of the Scotch nats, it was never on the cards that iScotland would have had much interest in invading or bombing anyone (if only for financial reasons).

    There’s a lot of people south of The Borders who’d love to vote themselves independent of the Tory government too.

    They don’t matter. They are all Tory scum by simple fact of being English or Welsh, so they can rot.

    I think Fraser Nelson might have an axe to grind 😀

    I think Fraser Nelson has a woodshed full of axes to grind. Even the IFS must have noticed that.”Scotland” achieved these figures under a UK government. As for the figures based on Osbornes budget No holes in that at all

    Bit of an odd argument there.

    Clearly it doesn’t matter so much if a region of a country is in deficit, as long as the whole country isn’t. This is a pro-union argument I think.

    Not odd at all David Cameron had promised a 200billion oil bonanza if Scotland voted no. Guardian
    Secondly most of the levers of economic policy remain in Westminster so Scotland can’t fully develop it’s own economic policies.

    Though considering how completely wrong the OBR have been every other time they’ve forecasted oil revenues, we really have no idea where we would be. Basically, they’re guessing. Badly.

    I guess the OP’s ignorance could be excused by the fact that he’s been relying on Russia Today for news for the last ~18 months.

    The Scottish Government’s own figures (via GERS), rather than the the OBR, show that Scotland would have been up a £15 billion deep **** creek if it hadn’t been for the sensible, silent two million strong majority.

    By not starting endless whinging threads about not getting any pudding

    Scotland can’t fully develop it’s own economic policies.

    An independent Scotland would have been hamstrung by it’s deficit that it would have had no chance to “develop” anything except high unemployment and austerity like you’ve never imagined in your worst dreams.

    More reading for you from the IFS. I appreciate you like to maintain your student style political stance, overthrow the old order and all that, but in the face of financial reality it’s as unrealistic as those cretins with “Don’t blame me I voted Yes” stickers on their cars.

    Couldn’t give a fig about pudding, its just desserts. It’s not even about the main course, more about building the house and growing veg in the garden.

    If there was an independent Yorkshire it would be very successful. We’d not spend owt on nowt, what would be important is what’s in mattress and in bank. It’d be a great example to Scotlandshire to follow.

    Free Yorkshire!

    You are on a roll this morning, ducks.

    Interesting to listen to Today on R4 this morning and the tax policies. At least Labour are actually clear on raising taxes but those left-of-centre (sic) nationalists seem remarkably reluctant to do the same – how odd??? Rhetoric v reality??

    Anway happy dependence day – a toast to the 55%. Well done, canny as always!!

    Even Nicola and Eck himself are no longer publicly saying that Scotland would have “an economy in the top ??”, or saying that “the oil is just a bonus”.

    That should tell you something.

    I’ll just leave this here,
    Stuff about scotland n’money n’that.
