"socialism doesn't work"

It works because it saved capitalism from death in 2008!

Scotland were the ones acting like a colonial power, bargainbob - Gordon Brown - RBS taking over the far bigger NatWest - etc etc

There are no countries within UK. Scotland and the others, exempt Ireland, are regions not countries.

The goal posts tend to move from inflation to jobs growth...and if jobs market is weak rates will stay low...




Rates changes don't exist to keep the housing market going.
The BoE's remit is to keep inflation around 2%.

Total borrowing is equivalent to £2,776 per person in Scotland, compared to £855 per person across the UK as a whole.

In gratitude for what geck.

Acting like a colonial power does not win many friends .

Best to part our ways as England is Going on inward journey at the moment .

I wish England all the best in the path they choose, looking from afar and visiting over the last few years , the challenges it faces are many.
Still could not believe how lawless Leicester was on my last visit. The lakes in comparison is beautiful so not all lost .

Funny those who complain of anti English comments , regularly post anti Scottish statements . I guess there is morons on each side.

5% is if you have a very large portfolio. For most people the number of stocks will be much lower.

Utrick

Agreed.

That's why I'd cut the Sweaties loose. Sick of the anti Englishness and ingratitude.

Its inverse slavery. Hardworking UK tax payers grafting tooth & nail to keep the pie eaters North of the border in free methadone & subsidised travel over bridges. It's a disgrace.

"It is our problem. They are Family. Not just United Kingdom. We are married to each other"

Given the constant anti English bashing that comes from Scotland they're hardly family, and I wouldn't lose any sleep if we cut them loose. It's what they want so fine.

But in similar fashion the Shetlands and Orkneys must also get referenda on Independence from UK / Independence from Scotland....

The Rotten Heart of Europe

by Bernard Connolly



This book may be a little bit historical, but the lessons it has for anyone

interested in what "Europe" is are fascinating and well worth it. It may help if

you understand "monetarism" and the jargon, but the text is accessible even if you

don't. Coming to it after the UK's vote to leave the EU, I'm very glad we did,

since all the same hidden agendas and quite different perceptions of what the EU

is about are still entrenched - and they are not loaded in favour of the UK! He

skims past the scams and corruption endemic in the mindsets and politicking of

various European governments, and which have cost taxpayers in other countries

dear, but makes sufficient reference to underline the motivations of those

involved in the pre-Euro days when news headlines regularly reported the barely

understood problems with "the snake" (Exchange Rate Mechanism).. Seen from the

inside, the whole thing was appalling, and it isn't surprising Connolly was booted

out of the Commission!

Connolly also reveals the plotting at the very top of the Tory party which helped

get rid of Margaret Thatcher, and a shameful tale it is. Undoubtedly we still have

senior politicians (in any party) whose adherence to the aim of establishing a

wholly undemocratic government of Europe, answerable to no-one, lurks carefully

concealed behind in their public utterances, and we should be wary.
