As I said earlier who actually holds the purse strings and were does the funds that Scotlands government use come from, where from that is quite easy it comes from Central Government in Westminster, and if they hold the purse strings then that is a powerful bit of leverage.

We will never know the truth in our lifetime as to what actually happened but we can speculate.

As the old saying goes Money makes the world go around and it is quite a persuader when something is needed to be done
