Mclean07 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Basically, as these official Scottish Govt figures show us we are stuffed without oil, and you can't base your whole economy on a volatile commodity. Luckily, we have the rest of the UK helping out and we have a substantial amount spent more on us per head than less fortunate areas of the UK ( some oppression, an insult to the poor people in the world who really are oppressed ). Despite a bit of an improvement, we still have the biggest deficit in Europe. Massive austerity would be needed and massive tax increases. The SNP talk about having different economic levers. That's complete waffle and is never quantified. They won't even use the levers they have now. The deniers will be out in force, hunting in packs, referencing a couple of mavericks. All mainstream economists, of course regard these figures as reasonable, as have the SNP leadership in the past when it suited them. I suppose you can't blame them shutting their eyes and putting their fingers in their ears. It completely destroys the dreams. Repeat posting, but the repetition won't do any harm.

Mclean07 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 One of the main anti GERS sources beaker used to quote. The other is a cranky accountant. Beaker has never been of heard once since the election. At least he saw it was all over, to be fair. -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
