@ArmstrongT97969@ScotFinlayson England is broke. It's why Westminster has to borrow £130+ billion annually to pay for England's deficit. Next you'll be telling us UK's £3 trillion debt was created just to cover UK's shortfall in income from Wales, N. Ireland and Scotland.
@ArmstrongT97969 The United of Great Britain and Northern Ireland funds spending throughout the UK including England's annual deficit of around £130 billion. I've no clue as to why you believe a country that can't fund itself is funding everyone else. Income taxes pay for nothing.
@scottydinnaknow@alanferrier You didn't know Scotland has more natural resources than Norway? Piss poor management by UK is why UK is in such a poor economic situation. Scotland's GDP should be, at the very least, on a par with Denmark. They don't have the broad shoulders of Westminster to keep them poor.
@scottydinnaknow@alanferrier Until recently, UK had extracted more oil than Norway. UK was earning about $14 per barrel. Norway about $30 per barrel. I know facts don't matter to you. I thought I'd give you them anyway.
@Wass2020@AlistairTait1 You seem determined to ignore the barbaric way in which it was done. McMillan were evicted from their lands or became tenants on their own land. Many were shipped to Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Scottish nationalism is a mixture of Braveheart LARP, postcolonial grievance mongering, unhinged left wing Europhilia & an undercurrent of Anglophobia.
@doony1973@AngloLad_ How is it difficult to see Scotland match that? With more natural resources and a government doing it's job properly, it's difficult to see why Scotland couldn't exceed it. Why is Norway not being in EU noteworthy? Scotland won't be in EU either.
@gorbalsgoebbels It's you lot making up anti English to shit stir. The good thing is, you'll convince a lot of English it's true and they'll want independence as a result of your shit stirring.
@TheGhostSleepi1 You should get out more. I don't know anyone who is anti English. In fact, every single Scot I know has English family and/or English friends. My English born neighbour has been here 16 years. He's never experienced anti Englishness or abuse.
@doony1973@AngloLad_ I most recently used Norway and Denmark when you used Ireland as a comparison. Can you explain why Scotland lags way behind both despite having more resources and Westminster's largesse?
@doony1973@AngloLad_ I compared how government financing using a FIAT currency is a well used method of becoming a manufacturing and economic powerhouse. You've got fixated on the countries I used as an example instead of learning about the economics of FIAT currencies used to benefit growth.
