Scottish Nationalists talking up the creation of a new currency are putting lipstick on a pig. The Scot £ is a simple necessity, not a possitive good. Meanwhile, the consequences of the loss of the pound are enormous and unavoidable. A summary:

@Johni1967 @ziggy6769 @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 We were offered "an independant country that Scots can belong to" in 2014. We said No, Thanks, b/c it was obvious that it would be an economic catastrophe.

@ziggy6769 @Joey202110 @JohnStuartWilso @macplodski @albions012 My plan is quite simple. To have an independant country that Scots can belong to, rather than an economic catatrophe that alienets the vast majority of Scots

Scottish Nationalists are becoming cringeworthy and making Scotland a laughing stock. They claim the UK is not a country 🙄 They claim we are a colony 🙄 They claim the SNP will get them independence 🙄 They claim they are not British 🙄 They claim independence will be some utopian future where the streets are paved in gold and we are morally superior to everyone. 🙄 What they actually do is embarrass the majority of Scots and Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧

@Johni1967 @ziggy6769 @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 All we have is the Scottish Government's own accounts. OK, fine.

@ziggy6769 @Joey202110 @JohnStuartWilso @macplodski @albions012 You people are staggering in your stupidity that you can prevent inependence. You can't. All you have is GERS. No reality. Everything you have is failing

@Johni1967 @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 Your posts are immensely stupid.

@JohnStuartWilso @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 Yes, you've read every other loyalist ask for an economic plan. There's no such thing. It's just a stupid question straight from the loyalist playbook

@Johni1967 @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 Liar.

@JohnStuartWilso @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 No I didn't. I asked what an economic plan means

@Johni1967 @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 You claimed there was an economic plan in place for iScotland. You were lying. Again.

@Joey202110 @JohnStuartWilso @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 I'm waiting for you to show me the economic plan of the uk, or any country for that matter. You're talking utter pish

@cuillin_glen @RideoutTim @albions012 @Scots_Woe_Hey @BBCr4today The 4 factors used in currency valuations are fiscal deficit, trade deficit, economic outlook & the CB's track record. Scexit Scotland would have three negatives & a zero. Rideout can't argue otherwise, so he simply insists that somehow the market's opinion doesn't matter.

@RideoutTim @albions012 @Scots_Woe_Hey @BBCr4today No reply—because ‘just print money’ falls apart the moment you factor in inflation, exchange rates & trust. Selling that as a serious plan isn’t honest;it’s utterly misleading to people who might take you seriously. Have an honest word with yourself; you are a danger to Scots

Dear @BBCr4today, Scotland is part of the UK. It is not 'a nation of the UK'. Ours is a unitary state, it is not a federation. This is pretty basic stuff, please advise your editors accordingly.

@Bumper1572760 @StewartNial @LaddieHeilan What "Scots economists" are you referring to? Where can I read their work??

@StewartNial @LaddieHeilan Well you are already telling yourself what you believe you do not look outside of the British political propaganda, it wouldn’t matter if the facts were stuck right in front of your face you will deny it as you wish to believe the British is right and Scots economists are wrong

#ScotlandWillBeAnIndependentCountry #AbolishTheMonarchy

@Bumper1572760 @StewartNial @LaddieHeilan Who cares what the SCG says? Scotlands GDP is £200bn. 50% of that is government spending and thus is not taxed. But, yeah, "Macrone"....

@StewartNial @LaddieHeilan Nail your going to have to log in to the Scottish currency group they have produced extensive figures on this exact issue. However even if you were not an economist. It doesn’t take an awful lot to work out from revenues in Macrone how we have been plundered as a colony

@cuillin_glen @RideoutTim @albions012 @Scots_Woe_Hey @BBCr4today This is the problem that no MMT cultist can ever address: the fact that capital is mobile and can vote with its feet. That is why they all hate the private sector so much.

@RideoutTim @albions012 @Scots_Woe_Hey @BBCr4today You don’t fund public services by ‘debiting an account’ unless markets trust your currency. Obviously Scotland wouldn’t start with that trust. Food & wind turbines don’t pay nurses—tax revenue & credible borrowing do. Suggest you do a little homework rather than tweet nonsense.

@AustinRSheridan @theSNP @JohnSwinney In my view trying to associate the SNP with the idea of a "fresh start" is as stupid as Brexit Bad, Scexit Good.

In my view it is absolutely essential that we seize the opportunity of a fresh start with independence by re-electing @theSNP Scottish Government with @JohnSwinney as First Minister. Scotland can’t afford a Reform UK Westminster government that is eyeing up Scotland for cuts.

@outdooradvscot @theSNP But it will remove Scotland from BETTA, which means that on days when the wind is "wrong", we'll pay full market price for the imports we need to maintain the baseload, or suffer blackouts.

@theSNP Delusion & sentiment won’t change the fact that Independence will not protect Scotland from World wholesale prices of fuel unless we had a totally independent extraction/refining/grid - which we don’t & won’t.

Scotland has sent £350 billion in oil and gas wealth to Westminster. But as heating oil prices have more than doubled, Westminster Labour is giving people in Scotland just £35 per head back. Make it #bothvotessnp on May 7th for a fresh start with independence.

Tim Rideout was asked "How will Scotlad pay for its public services?" This was his answer. It contains three massive lies.

@Johni1967 @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 You are wrong.

@JohnStuartWilso @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 Utter garbage. The uk has 700 billion in cash rdserves, 150 billion in foreign currency and around 70 billion in gold

@Johni1967 @macplodski @albions012 @Joey202110 @ziggy6769 They currently operate in the UK under UK law. Therefore, everything changes. And you continue to reveal your ignorance. SFE estimates that 80-90% of the customers are in the rUK,.

@JohnStuartWilso @macplodski @albions012 @Joey202110 @ziggy6769 They operate in Scoland under Scots law. Their customers are global. Nothing changes

@Johni1967 @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 I asked you to tell me where I can read the economic plan that you say already exists.

@JohnStuartWilso @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 Show us what an economic plan looks like. Give us an example of one. What you actually mean is an economic forecast

@Johni1967 @macplodski @albions012 @Joey202110 @ziggy6769 8.5%, and the entire O&G industry - not just the Scottish part - is less than 1% of UK GDP.

@JohnStuartWilso @macplodski @albions012 @Joey202110 @ziggy6769 The uk will lose around 10% of its economy. It will lose vast reserves of oil and gas. It will lose 12% of its exports increasing its trade deficit. It will be forced to import much more energy. That's not a blip. It's long term. An already weak economy further weakened

@Johni1967 @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 I guess I also am a thick clown, because I have no idea where you pulled that 2 trillion figure from. Please explain.

@Joey202110 @JohnStuartWilso @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 Work it out you thick clown. 220 billion is over 10% of 2 trillion. How many times do you plan to make a fool of yourself.

@Johni1967 @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 Scotland's per capita share of UK reserves would be just £15bn.

@Joey202110 @JohnStuartWilso @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 We would start with our due share of uk reserves at justbover 100 billion. Once more you embarass yourself with no brains

@Johni1967 @macplodski @albions012 @Joey202110 @ziggy6769 Being governed by laws that are foreign to the majority of their customers.

@JohnStuartWilso @macplodski @albions012 @Joey202110 @ziggy6769 What competitive disadvantage? Do you even know what these international institutions do, or why so many have recently invested in Scotland? They're going nowhere

@Johni1967 @Joey202110 @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 Where can I read this economic plan you speak of?

@Joey202110 @JohnStuartWilso @macplodski @albions012 @ziggy6769 The reason you're asking for an economic plan is because you have read it but haven't a clue what it actually means. You really haven't a clue
