1. Presenting the present level of national debt as indicative of economic mismanagement is plainly silly under the present circumstances.
2. “Every other country in the empire” is likewise a very silly statement, profoundly ahistorical, and rooted in the other great strand of Scottish exceptionalistic thinking ... the notion that Scotland is somehow a victim of an English empire, rather than the actual truth, that it was always an active and enthusiastic partner in the British empire.
