      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.

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