When person who claims to be in Aberdeen has missed the Port of Aberdeen adding 1.5km of deep-water berths and 125,000sqm of laydown space within the last 5-10 years, you have to wonder what else they don't know about.
Scotland has a balance of payments of about 10% of GDP. Assuming it staid the same with independence* that means a vast amount of capital leaving Scotland. The only ways to reduce the flow would be cuts to real incomes and massive interest rate hikes.
Is that the same Prof Murphy who told the Scottish Parliament that his figures were not based on actual research, and couldn't name a single country that used the methodology he does?

A fascinating and alarming article here that deserves a lot of distribution and consideration.

Ireland has no way of detecting aircraft without transponders or reacting to them if they do spot them.
It has no way to detect submarines, or attack them.
Mary doesn't know that the Scottish Government opposed zonal pricing because although it would lead to price cuts in the short terms it would kill energy investment on Scotland and put up prices in the medium and long term.
George thinks GERS covers payments between private companies, showing he hasn't read GERS.
George also doesn't know that providing the grid infrastructure costs well over £1bn a year, so what this charnge means is a slight reduction in the subsidy Scottish producers get.
1. Yes, we do, thanks to rUK subsidy. But unless you have a way to store it then you find that we are able to rely on renewables alone only about 50% of the time.
2. Yes it is.
3. Okay. 1 suggests we need a source other than renewables and 2 is irrelevant.
A Scottish nationalist getting angry about a hypothetical scenario where the UK Government does something they can't do to stop something that nobody would be interested in building.
Mel has asked this question and had the answer so many times that she should be asked to participate in a study on reflexes.
Hers must be remarkable to have avoided seeing them.
Talking up Scotland don't understand their figures. The £2bn figure is just procurement so ignores every military bases, every member of the armed forces, and every Civil Servant.
With less than 4% of the defence spending UK has no credibility in Scotland talkingupscotlandtwo.com/202…
Phanual asks an easily answered question but blocks before I can answer.
Partnerships are "tax transparent" not tax free. The partners pay the tax, not the entity.

Bobbi has asked a question but then blocked me so I can't reply.
He set up the entity in Ireland to retain access to European investors via the passport system.
This costs money and saves no tax.

1/ Something very important is being missed in the Peter Murrell coverage. And it explains why Murrell was able to carry on the embezzlement long after he should have been stopped. And why John Swinney cannot hide behind the “victim of criminality” defence.🧵
Not seen this one for a while, but a decade on someone still pushing the "unknown region" bullshit.
