Of course, it suits England to ignore this and stick to the “too wee, too poor, too stupid” mantra. 50% of the Scottish people see right through it.

I have denied that England bankrolls Scotland. The GERS figures are manipulated and not representative of the rational choices that an independent country would make. Ironically the figures show the economic situation worse in all other parts of the UK except England. I also therefore what’s in it for England?
The left wing orientated SNP would never agree to help business with tax breaks! Good luck with your view that the Scots would come out of separation smelling of roses simply by tinkering with the tax system.
