I don't have to as I'm not making the case for independence. I believe Scotland is better off in both Unions but I don't live there so it's not my decision.

I also need to point out that Nomad King says the figure in question is not £25bn but £12bn and I believe others believe it's even lower.

I'm pointing out that people are allowed to make emotional decisions that might make them financially worse off as they feel the other benefits outweigh the costs. As a Brexiter, I'm surprised that you don't feel at least some empathy with this argument.
