      Please do have your say on local services. If you live in South Lanarkshire, the SNP have cut over £130m out of your local services.https://twitter.com/thesnp/status/851154500035280896 …

      No. They are being made because we live in the UK under austerity. Slab want that then moan at the repercussions of it.

      We don't support Tory or SNP austerity. The SNP could have followed our tax plans and avoided making cuts. They used to believe in 50p rate.

      Get your head round that. We live in the UK. You want us to remain in the UK. Then you want us to pay higher taxes to mitigate the UK.

      Services cost money and we currently get back more than we pay into the UK. You want us to leave the UK without any plan to address that...

      No we don't. There are 3 net contributors to the UK budget. The City of London, the SE of England and Scotland. Anyway, not the point.

      I'm sorry, you're wrong. Not by my assessment, the Scottish Government's own figures

          😂😂 GERS was central to the argument in 2014, now it's irrelevant. Are you not fed up of trying to con people? Why not be honest?

          It was central to MY argument was it? I'm trying to con people? When did you meet me? I must have missed it.
