@UKScotBrit@George61175141 Based on the UK data, supplied by the Office of National Statistics (British source, with UK figures). If we don't keep our own statistics, we can never know the true economic picture. We're not stupid & won't be fooled again.
Jeezo. A new academic study has found that Brexit has cost Scotland £30 billion a year in lost economic output. We are the most damaged of the UK devolved nations. That's even worse than I thought.
@UKScotBrit@George61175141 Nicola was parroting the UK's economic assumption & neoliberal model, which clearly DOESN'T apply after Scotland has its own economy. With a Scottish currency & supply bank, our GDP will rise in proportion to increased fiscal activity.
@wiljun59@0TulsiGabbard2 It is more European than Great Britain ever was. It has vast natural resources and WANTS to join. Unlike England whose right wingers hated every second of cheaper trade, free travel, movement, jobs, university exchanges, etc.
This is very, very important.
Why?
Because it does 2 things;
(1) It puts 'colony' on the minds of parliamentarians.
(2) It puts it mainstream & into the psyche of Scots.
@afneil Last time I looked, Andrew the wind solar & tidal energy were all totally free. It's only your UK energy price regulators, who deliberately inflated profits for wealthy corporate energy shareholders' enrichment. All at our expense. Sit down you buffoon.
@southsidesaint3@SSalyers2@Deasbad Sorry but the uprising was very popular with everyone - except the Scots political class & nobility. They were the richest, & completely committed to increasing their lands & wealth. The peasants/working poor had no choice & chance to vote. #historicalfact
@Prae54Rae@nemo_impune Andrew Neill is a disgusting slanderer & Anglophile propagandist. Ashamed of his country & insulting to his own people. A truly low form of bacterial parasite, who profits from denigrating those who are rightly proud of Scotland. Loathsome.
