cammy12 176 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 At today's PMQs Cameron re asserted there will be no monetary union. He also said the EU would veto Scotland's application for membership if it didn't have monetary union. When will Salmond say what currency an independent Scotland will adopt ?Do you think any of that pish makes us feart to vote yes, me dont think so.Not long now and we will see. I used to think, as an Englishman, it would make no difference to me how Scotland voted. But now, after studying the facts and figures, it makes sense for me to have a "yes" vote. If the savings to rUK are passed on to the people, we should be better off; but I won't hold my breath for any savings being passed on to the ordinary citizens of rUK.another peice of bullshit we give more in tax than wee get back fact.List the savings the ruk will make. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We ALL give more in tax than we get back, that's how any economy works. What I meant was the Barnett Formula, which, depending on who's figures you go by means Scots get between £480 -£1400 more per person than the English do. This is how Scots can have free prescriptions, free university, free old age health care, and the English can't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joe1888 672 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) some folk have the little blue book to hand i see. very one sided. you need to look at both sides of the coin. ive not read that, here is a good break down of darlings points,ill add one here, the rest are in detail on the website( image is related to quote below) We get £1,200 more per head in public spending than the rest of the UK Only if you count debt and spending on UK-wide operations as public spending in Scotland This is one of those technically true, but completely misleading in isolation points. Its true Scotland has £1,200 more allocated per head than the UK average but that doesnt translate to greater spending, when a significant proportion of it goes towards debt that wasnt even incurred by the Scottish government, spending on services that the Scottish government has no control over like Trident and defense, and even on things that have nothing to do with Scotland like HS2, the London sewage system, and the Olympics. And, of course, it ignores that Scots raise £1,700 more per head in tax revenue than the UK average. Facts are here: Edited September 5, 2014 by Joe1888 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brigzy 1,298 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 To make good on his promises, Salmond needs to massively increase the population and tax base of Scotland. He has said he will do this by immigration..... He'll turn Scotland into a country based on Tower Hamlets, where the indigenous population will subjugated to the Muslim influx, and your law will be based on Sharia...... Please think well before you vote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
