Not at all. It isn't my fault you choose to be blind to it and shamelessly hypocritical.

Agreeing with someone who disagrees with you on the topic of education does not make me a racial abuser or a supporter of racists, no matter what you say. I am undeserving of your vile accusations and have reported them. Smearing someone's reputation in print is libel.

I disagree, which makes your faux outrage all the more insidious.

. The reality is that the subsidy is in the other direction – Scottish tax receipts, thanks largely to North Sea oil, more than pay for the higher spending provided by Barnett. The Scottish Government are currently trying to shut down Oil production.. what happens when that is gone?

There's a psychology at work, where they want the perks of the Union, but will always play the role of the victim which is eternally ungrateful. Give me more or else we'll destroy you sort of thing. Without oil, which was the SNP's main selling point a while back, they don't have much to bargain with.

Ah, but your alter ego does, yet you have no problem with it. Unless you can produce evidence that Ripley and Thomas are the same person you need to stop with the false accusations.

I don't like to be referred to as a gammon, but since you encouraged this trend on the forum I guess I will have to put up with it all over the board.

At no time has Ripley used that word to describe you or any other member of the board. As far as I'm concerned calling someone a gammon is no worse than calling someone an outraged lefty which many members have had to put up with. Your nonsense about it being a racist term is just that, nonsense. Live by the sword die by the sword B4. If it is too rough for you here I'm sure you can find an echo chamber more suited to your sensitive nature elsewhere.

Yet he doesn't have a problem supporting those who do.
It's a racial stereotype and used as racial abuse, even if you support it being used en masse.
It's based on skin colour.
What are you implying?
Assuming you're not threatening me, how many reports have I made?

North Sea oil will end in our lifetime. And even with the tax receipts of North Sea oil (mostly paid for by the rest of the UK, rather than the northern Scottish bit), Scotland runs a public spending DEFICIT. The devolved administration spends more than tax provides.
And that is with Scotland receiving the highest share of UK taxes per capita.
The SNP are shit with money.
If Scotland had broken away it would now be fucked.

The Scottish Government are currently trying to shut down Oil production.. what happens when that is gone? I dont agree with the current snp government on many issues ,and this is one of them. Without the oil , scotland is still a rich country in terms of natural resources. our green energy for exmaple is keeping the lights on in england. We have 90 % of the uk fresh water , and export five times per head of popualtion more than what england does.
The oil is merely the icing on the cake.

He'll be trying to sell Scottish wind soon. Record £745m of wind power exported by Scotland
Scotland’s wind exports to England
Well over half of Scotland’s wind generation between January 12, 2018 and the present was exported to England and not consumed in Scotland.
