Scotland gets a block grant from wastemonster which they cannot overspend on. We raise approximately £70bn in tax - we get around half back to spend in Scotland’s Parliament. for example the 2019/20 Scottish government budget is £42.5Bn look it up. So 'ukgov' take the guts of £27.5Bn this year alone which Westminster spend 'on our behalf' and overspend by the value of our deficit. The first challenge we have with Independence is to spend the remainder wisely, Unelected House of Lords, trident, illegal wars etc etc etc. I think we can do better. Thereafter, only with the powers of independence will have the levers to deal properly with our own economy - opportunities https://macalbasite.wordpress.com/2019/11/15/the-indisputable-thievery-of-the-uk-union/?fbclid=IwAR3SY4tokiuOIkF98UPWEB8wt71RLavQxbiQEB-WF5wH1Jkh0MoWk819huI Following Scottish devolution in 1998, Health and social care policy and funding became devolved to the Scottish Parliament. Record health funding – spending will exceed £14 billion in 2019/20. So our nhs is £14bn of scotgov's Limited budget this year of £42.5bn 'uk'gov' take the rest of our approx £70bn tax revenue which comes to £27.5bn taken from Scotland by 'uk'gov' this year alone. Despite the subsidy from Scotland to 'uk'gov' we get policies such as ... Health spending in Scotland is £185 per person higher than in England. Free personal and nursing care extended to everyone who needs it, regardless of age. Prescription charges abolished in Scotland – now £9 per item south of the border. Baby Box – A jam-packed box of baby essentials to help new parents at the start of a child’s life. 94 per cent of the Scottish population are now registered with an NHS dentist – double what it was when the snp took office in 2007. Over £5 billion has been invested in Scotland’s health infrastructure since 2007, including Scotland’s superhospital in Glasgow, Dumfries Infirmary, Orkney Hospital and Aberdeen’s Emergency Care Centre.

@kleinweichkleinweich Evidently yes. I dont know what England contributes to the eu. Nothing but hassle😂 'uk'gov takes 27bn from Scotland In contrast, ''Scotland's makes an annual net contribution to the EU budget of £455 million (based on a four year average). This represents roughly 0.6% of total public sector expenditure for Scotland in 2017-18'' https://digitalpublications.parliament.scot/ResearchBriefings/Report/2018/9/28/European-Union-funding-in-Scotland The 'uk' 'union' costs Scotland 27bn a year, which google says is 29.7 percent of our approx 70bn tax rev, (dont quote me on that 29%) the eu costs Scotland 0.6% , Scottish Exports to the eu countries £15 Billion a year. - Im no einstein but seems like better deal to me

@rokketron The 27.5billion of scottish tax revenue 'uk' gov currently takes is way bigger. Scottish income tax is devolved. its just one tax of many , dont have all taxation powers and revenue.... ''over half of all taxes collected in Scotland remains under the direct control of the UK parliament which has remained a reserved matter to itself all powers over Corporation tax, National Insurance, Value-added tax, Capital gains tax, Inheritance tax, Aggregates Levy Insurance Premium Tax and Motoring taxes''

''The document gave a highly favourable projection for the economy of an independent Scotland with a chronic surplus to a quite embarrassing degree and its currency would become the hardest in Europe with the exception of the Norwegian kroner. This led successive iterations of the British government to classify the McCrone report as "secret". This was so to avoid fuelling independence sentiment in Scotland. Professor McCrone stated that Scotland's GDP would increase by around 20% if North Sea oil were counted as part of it. In an interview for Holyrood Magazine on 19 May 2013, ex-Labour chancellor Denis Healey (who served in the Cabinet at the time the McCrone Report was submitted) stated: "I think we did underplay the value of the oil to the country because of the threat of [Scottish] nationalism... I think they [Westminster politicians] are concerned about Scotland taking the oil, I think they are worried stiff about it ''' take take take

@rww805 Do you know about this? According to a 900-year-old historical quirk, Doncaster is technically part of Scotland. Doncaster was ceded to Scotland in the Treaty of Durham; it was never formally returned to England.

@ricbrow8752 A new Scottish currency is agree'd No country joining the eu has to adopt the euro. Croatia joined the eu in 2013, smaller populaton, economy, exports than Scotland & they use the kuna Nine countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) are EU members but do not use the euro. Before joining the eurozone, a state must spend two years in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II)

@ricbrow8752 They offered the 'uk' a currency union last time as it would have helped keep the 'uk' economy stable not losing 10% of its whole economy and sterling area. Not offering that this time.
