"Missing from a lot of the Scotland debate is that old issue of their truly epic budget deficit post-Independence"

Again all these predictions assume we continue to use the failed UK model.

One thing is clear though. If you had voted to leave the UK and without the effective subsidy from UK and the drop in oil price, Scotland would be in a real financial tangle now.

Even Jimmy Krankie has admitted there would have been serious difficulties.

Is JK going to demand a referendum every time something happens in the UK that more than 56% of Scots don't like?

Maybe every time there's a change there should be a vote to see how many Scots approve. If it's less than the amount who originally voted to stay in the UK let's have another referendum.

Worth watching all the way through.

Apart from the fact he tore her to shreds, interesting stuff about Scottish deficit and EU.
