      Maybe the Scot Gov shouldn't have based the white paper on GERS and maybe they should tell us what can be done differently?

      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 ;)

      but if you're prepared to believe the SNP have a secret grand plan to reverse a £15bn deficit with Indy you'll believe anything.

      I don't think there's any plan. It's you who is confident they will tell us what can be done differently to plug £15bn deficit.

          I don't think on review of an iScot expenditures and revenues that there will be such a huge deficit. That's what I'm confident in.

          if it is as easy as that, why haven't the SNP told us?

          they absolutely didn't. They based it on GERS. Here's the argument they made, updated for current day:pic.twitter.com/higVEERL6N

          so we have a stalemate, cos I can't be proven right until we are independent. So ergo... Our situation remains.
