It is a non-answer to the question that I referenced in the same sentence where I described what you said as being a non-answer, which is as follows:-
what is the plan, in an Indy Scotland, to avoid the deep and damaging economic and financial hardship that we would face dealing with the following ie.
revenues that are 25% below the cost of providing us with our current standard of living;
the costs of establishing ourselves as a separate country outside of the UK:
our share of the massive UK debt that we would walk away with, including the cost of servicing and reducing that massive debt to an acceptable level, particularly given the crippling rate we would have to accept should someone be prepared to take a risk on a new country with the financial problems that we would bring to the table:
the struggle we would have attracting and retaining overseas investment from companies who would no longer be able to look upon locating in Scotland as a way into the much larger and more important UK market;
retaining our brightest and best to help drive the newly independent Scotland up and out of the economic and financial hole that it would be in;
coping with a MegaBrexit scenario if we walked away from, and put up barriers to, the single UK market by opting for EU membership instead?

That’s just another non -answer to add to the list of non-answers you have given rather than explain what the plan is to prevent an Indy Scotland suffering deep and long-term economic and financial hardship. It’s hard to conclude anything other than you don’t care how much your fellow Scots would suffer so long as your obsession with independence is realised. how is it a non answer? neither of your exmples fit the question. One didnt leave british rule at any point since colonisation , the other never returned to british rule and remains indy today?
I cant wait for scottish indy happy . With the uks terminal decline , you must lie awake each and every night wondering how near the end of the union is.
You still don’t get it, do you? The prospect of even another Indyref, or anything else that might lead to Scottish independence, is off the table for our lifetimes nd beyond, so I don’t need to worry about any of that stuff. |

the struggle we would have attracting and retaining overseas investment from companies who would no longer be able to look upon locating in Scotland as a way into the much larger and more important UK market; prove we would struggle to attract and retain overseas investment as an indy scotland in EFTA then eventually the EU rather than the current brexit uk ?
Didnt you read my earlier post where wee ireland that you relentless mocked has taken £200 billion of bwitish banking from london due to bwexit?

revenues that are 25% below the cost of providing us with our current standard of living; prove we would have revenues 25 % below the current cost of our standard of living? Just Google the latest GERS report, Thomas. |

Now you are being silly, Thomas. As you are perfectly aware, your can’t prove such a thing but you can look at circumstances and read a situation. |

Heres what merryn somerset webb said famously about gers...
all the numbers everyone uses to make the financial argument are no more than rough guesses” and that readers could “ignore all the financial arguments for a separate Scotland on the basis that no-one knows what they actually are”.

I just did by listing some of the challenges that we would face that would bring deep and damaging economic and financial hardship and by you being unable to provide a plan to address that. |
