It pits one identity against another meaning if you say e.g. 'Scottish not British' they does that not mean you are anti-British/anti-English? In the political climate, people tell porkies.<br /><br />The census is our best bet as it's not political and people freely chose what they put down.<br /><br />Scottish identity has not been growing; just British identity weakening. It's both a symptom and a cause of why the UK is in trouble.<br /><br />Anyway, what does 2015 and 2016 data look like? We are missing the most important info. Seems identity was not asked in 2015 and makes me wonder why...Scottish_Skiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-40496031939946763742016-02-17T19:44:22.760+00:002016-02-17T19:44:22.760+00:00I know perfectly well the difference Aldo. It seem...I know perfectly well the difference Aldo. It seems you don't though. If Scotland is debt-free as per the pro-UK media reports, then it could happily run a wee deficit based on borrowing if needed. It's when your debt gets huge your deficit becomes a problem, as is the case for the UK.<br /><br />When it comes to Scottish independence, Scotland should take the share of any UK debt it actually incurred. Obviously it shouldn't pay for debt taken and spent on the rUK; only debt spent on Scotland. Hell, if my business partner is not running his end of the business well, I'm not responsible for the debt he/she has incurred. If England can't balance the books, the Scotland shouldn't bail them out. Each nation therefore has a share of the UK debt based on what it spent of that debt, not population share.<br /><br />As a Tory I'm sure you'd agree; Scotland's debt should be based on what what borrowed money was actually spent in Scotland. We could go back all the way, but I think 1979 would do fine as that's when people voted for devolution, but Westminster overruled the Yes vote.Scottish_Skiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-56980042341401799382016-02-17T11:00:57.571+00:002016-02-17T11:00:57.571+00:00EVEL was put together, justifiably, by the Conserv...EVEL was put together, justifiably, by the Conservative Party. But I don't think your average English person is really that bothered either way. Why would you be bothered, when you make up easily 85% - 90% of a state? If you feel someone has put one over on you then you have ample opportunity to repay them in kind - tenfold. But I don't think a lot of English people even think along those lines, to be honest. The outlook is quite different down there - they aren't steeped in grievance from birth, like us. <br /><br />AldoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-67981200769732772072016-02-17T00:01:56.701+00:002016-02-17T00:01:56.701+00:00Er, No he didn't Aldo.

It sucks in interest payments, it is unlikely ever to be repaid, and in an age of Zero inflation/ deflation it isn't disappearing in the usual "inflate away " method so beloved of politicians.<br /><br />If you would just do your homework instead of repeating the mush you are fed in Unionist media. We won't have the same spending priorities once we are independent. We will have all of the taxes we raise. We can grow our economy. If you kept all your wages istead of getting pocket money from your mum, but you didn't spend any of it on your mum's hairdo, then you don't get to include your mum's hairdressing bills in your budget. How more simply can I put it?<br /><br />Duh!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-76084519737436257162016-02-16T23:49:57.211+00:002016-02-16T23:49:57.211+00:00The knob is back impersonating.
