Aye quoting the report by fiscal affairs Scotland and john mclaren - labour economics adviser. Good piece on wings about it, the bombardment had not stopped.

Toepoke Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Yes it was interesting that the Herald didn't seem to feature the story at all. Like this graphic from Wings... "Johann Lamont, Scottish Labour conference, March 2014: " “Scottish Labour is the party of devolution.” Edited October 22, 2014 by Toepoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Put my submission in last night - I am sure they will agree with everything i have said! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis_trap Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) When they talk about a "black hole" in Scotland finances what they actually mean is that the entire UK runs at a deficit.This extra money is DEBT not a gift from Westminster.....The only 2 countries in Europe running a surplus are CH and Norway.Time and time again the media overlook this crucial point.

Hertsscot Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Put my submission in last night - I am sure they will agree with everything i have said! I've put in my tuppenceworth as well. I guess it might have been similar to yours, at least they'l know how we feel - assuming they're not just filed in the big 'circular filing cabinet' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
