The Scotophobic myth that Scotland receives a fiscal transfer (subsidy) from rUK:
UK's Consolidated Fund uses newly created money for expenditure, not revenue and borrowing, which are electronically destroyed. So, a fiscal transfer from one part of UK to another can't exist.

Surely, you should have better things to do with the remainder of your time, Neil, than to troll me from behind your block like a true coward.
Remember when you said these words about yourself: "I dislike the person I am on Twitter."

I see you're deflecting again with nonsense instead of answering the question.
I think you would be ridiculing such a person.
Why are you embarrassed to correctly identify with the UK? You keep ghosting that question as well.

Independence for any entity is a 'must have' for those who support that entity.
Of course, Neil Lovatt (ScotFax) opposes Scotland in favour of UK. He wants Scotland to suffer the worst option (dependence) so that UK can enjoy the best option (independence) for itself instead.

Push a UKish nationalist far enough and the they eventually breakdown and the truth emerges. #Scotophobia
This single-page, about 115 words, was UK Gov's long-term economic plan that 'No' voters based their 2014 vote on, if they read it.
UKish nationalists can't credibly criticise Scot Gov's economic plan for Scotland-rule. They just support UK at any cost.

This 112-page paper is Scot Gov's current economic plan for Scotland-rule that was published four years ago.

Neil Lovatt (ScotFax) does not understand that "once-in-a-generation" is figurative language, not literal language.
Taking it literally means he must believe that the SNP is the sovereign authority over UK and can thus bind future UK parliaments.

🧵 This UK Budget completely fails to meet the moment.
We will replicate the £100 support for fuel bills, but the UK Government has failed to cut energy bills by £300 as promised.
IFS:
"Scottish Government funding likely to fall in 2027–28, meaning manifesto pledges could force spending cuts or increases to devolved taxes."
Better Together didn't mention that in 2014, as it didn't know the future - UK blindly accepted at any cost.

Prof. Sir John Kay:
"Anyone ... believing either that they should vote no because independence for Scotland would be likely to be an economic disaster or vote yes because they believe it is likely to lead to an economic bonanza, has failed to review the issues sensibly."
You don't have a counterargument, because you can't prove me wrong. You're just in denial hence you've blocked me and run away like a coward.

Absolutely DEVASTATING admission by Neil Lovatt that London-centric UK has damaged Scotland's economy.

UKish nationalists are very confused. They believe that Scotland is the UK rather than just a part of the UK.
If Scotland is UK then that means UK is Scotland and so Scotland is an independent country, which means UKish nationalists are Scottish nationalists and vice versa.

I do wonder sometimes whether we need, as a way of moving on from this decade-long 50/50 split, to find a constitutional compromise that offers much of the practical autonomy of independence without a symbolic break. A 'Gibraltar solution' for Scotland? Let's at least discuss it.
You have failed to prove any of that nonsense so it's just meaningless Scotophobic scaremongering.
You do actually believe it's best for a country to be independent, at any cost, you just oppose Scotland in favour of UK (an anti-Scotland ideology).

Away & stop havering, independence is unaffordable without punitive taxes & reduced public services, pensions & benefits, the consequences of which will result in us struggling financially& suffering a lower standard of living for our families for years!
