He's bound by his benefits to defend the union in any way he could. He knew as well as anyone else that there is a difference between setting corporation tax and actually collecting it, which is what was the intention had we voted yes. As for dragging wages down, the SNP were the first to introduce a living wage, so quite to the contrary, again, the intention was to ensure a more equitable income distribution in Scotland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-49986951815552597252015-09-16T00:24:03.234+01:002015-09-16T00:24:03.234+01:00Independence shouldn't be seen as a 'rewar...Independence shouldn't be seen as a 'reward' for being a more or less 'worthy' nation.Niallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-3640402651435369772015-09-15T01:34:00.451+01:002015-09-15T01:34:00.451+01:00Skier.

Sturgeon paying homage to the Queen, encouraging immigration, criticising Cameron for killing Islamic terrorists, appearing in vogue and banging on about referendums has probably deflated the bubble somewhat. Will that process continue? Will Corbyn deliver a fatal blow?<br /><br />What is absolutely clear is that the SNP can't afford to fall much further - the nature of the Holyrood electoral system could deny them a pro independence majority (even with the Greens included) if their combined vote falls to 45%.

Ireland was Catholic and oppressed by Protestant Britain - Scotland being the most fanatically Protestant part of Britain. All this is obviously water under the bridge long ago. We are all atheists / agnostics now. But it's important to understand the historical issues.<br /><br />Three polls in three days - YouGov, Panelbase, and now Survation - all showing a NO lead. A referendum a year ago sampling 3 and a half million people - 55% No. You guys are really clutching at straws.
