It's an epic fantasy full of epic plot holes. Such as the projected size of Scotland's deficit, which The Fat One would have you believe would, in the worst case, be no bigger than £5.5 billion, but which the Treasury has today estimated to be more than £9 billion. They have run the numbers and come to broadly the same conclusion as the IFS and Citi Group.

Given Alec's professed love of financial experts, will he now accept his figures are hopelessly optimistic?
No, I didn't think he would either. Never mind, it's probably more fun watching them squirm anyway.
