it came about because we are spending more than we raise. And we can do that because we benefit from being in Barnett.

hmm I dunno, military weaponry, arms dealer lobbying, the lords? I'm sure there's a few savings that could be made ;)
our entire defence contribution approx £3bn. You're not suggesting that would be reduced to zero in an iScotland?
-
-
so there is a saving right off the back without interfering with our one coastal boat and inflatable lilo sea defences ;)
-
the more u argue with me over Gers the more I'll be adamant that we can do things differently.Cos we can
doesn't have to be this way! -
Maybe the Scot Gov shouldn't have based the white paper on GERS and maybe they should tell us what can be done differently?
-
I'm sure they will.
-
they've been in government for 10 years, 2 years of which was indyref and they haven't managed it yet.
-
sometimes I think u forget I'm not a politician lol. U don't need to do wee snarks like that to me. I'm not on a government committee
-
I'm not snarking at you. I'm pointing out why I don't share your confidence they can come up with the goods
-
it was a definite snark. But I'm ok with it ;) I have no confidence in the Tories. Little in Labour and more in SNP. Simples ;)

of course not, but Gers attributes a much higher percentage to Scot defence than that of other similar sized Indy eu countries
-
even if you managed to reduce that bill to zero (which is ridiculous) you're left with £13bn.
-
by ur sums and by Gers. Depending if u take into account adjustments etc. Every time Gers published there's same arguments over figs
