Police Scotland confirm they have recieved allegations of fraud within the SNP.
I does all appear to be going tits up for them of late.
See something on BBC text today saying that Covid has deprived Scottish Government of huge amounts of tax revenues had they gone independant, and Scots are thinking hard re independance from the UK.So silly, they are going to defeat themselves having played it pretty well (no matter what side of the argument people are on.... or indeed, aren't on!)
Just a few months ago, Sturgeon (again, no matter what side of the argument) looked a very effective politician who stood some chance of bringing about change didn't she?!
They would end up in a bigger mess than Brexit has left us
And that was a party political broadcast on behalf of.....
Never trust a man (or woman) whose eyebrows are a different colour to their hair.Come on those eyebrows were hypnotic! lol
We supplement Scotland by £15 billion a year. They leave they have that to make up plus the army, foreign office, NHS and benefits to sort to name a few
Yes kk, and its absolutely amazing how many Scots, and to a lesser extent the Welsh are in total denial of the hard fiscal facts of life with regard to the Barnet Formula, and the extent that it allows Scotland to run up a debt that accounts for 25-28% of the entire UK deficit, and that with only a population of 5.5M.Then there is the small independent leave vote in Wales. There annual budget is 18.4 billion of which Westminster give them 80% of that. Which means we subside them by about 14 to 15 billion.

In a way I would like to see Scotland get their independance, it might just get the chip of the shoulder of a lot of the Scottish Nats, and then maybe we would all get on better.
As true as some of that may be Scotland just doesnt have the revenue streams to sustantiate the freebies that they like to give away to attract votes.The pro-independence argument is that Britain has a rentier economy. All of the money is made by crony companies getting government contracts and then paying people minimum wage to provide those services.
There is no investment in Britain because nobody at the top cares. Whatever investment there is is always entirely focused on the south east. Scotland gets a few goodies but they get nothing in terms of jobs or investments.
An independent Scotland could have a much more progressive economy like Israel, Denmark or Singapore.
At the moment, London massively subsidises the rest of the UK. With the flight of financial services from London to the EU, a post covid Britain is going to be forced to change, one way or another. The big fear is that the Eton twats are going to circle the wagons and keep their cozy gravy train going by slashing those subsidies and leaving regional cities to rot so that they can keep handing out juicy government service contracts.

Also you make mention of the flight of the financial services from London, sorry but the fIigures dont bear that out, if anything EU financial services are looking to get into London, to free themselves up from reams of legislation in the EU.

Only a shameless, thick and utterly unprofessional politician could use an important coronavirus press conference yesterday (5th April) as a platform form to attack the Labour Mayor of London with yet more of his BS lies.
but then who's surprised?

It was also noticeable how the BBC and the right-wing gutter press like the Mail, Express, etc totally ignored it.
