My column @heraldscotland : This may stick in craw of those who would do Scotland down heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…
We have a subscription offer just now: one year of The Herald for just £20!
🙄 pointing out secession would be disastrous for our economy is not doomsaying - thar’s a stupid thing to say - reality highlights the economic challenges @thesnp & @scotgov led by @scotgovFM are unable to reconcile - to balance & grow our economy what cuts & tax increases would they impose? Only idiots think cuts & tax increases wouldn’t happen in an iScot.
@ianmcconnellHT @MhairiHunter @heraldscotland The people doing down Scotland are those who write things full of straw man arguments and assume people will fall for it.
@ianmcconnellHT @heraldscotland It is an absurdity to think that the majority of people living in Scotland take even the remotest pleasure in seeing our economy and businesses fail. The SNP is not Scotland. It is possible to love your country and hate the government at the same time.
@ianmcconnellHT @heraldscotland Keep up the good work, Ian. If only there were more like you …
@ianmcconnellHT @heraldscotland We are doing well as we are still part of the UK but it’ll be a different story IF we made the grave mistake of independence as it would cause chaos & have catastrophic consequences for us well into the future! SNPs economists admit we’ll struggle with financial hardship for yrs!
@ianmcconnellHT @HNH_Mark @heraldscotland By the way the colour of the flags here is wrong. The saltire is a very dark shade of blue, in fact almost navy.
@ianmcconnellHT @heraldscotland So the UK does good by Scotland? Well I never.
@ianmcconnellHT @heraldscotland I'll never talk businesses in the Scots regions down. But where they manage to survive and thrive it's despite the thick politicians at Holyrood, not because of them.
@ianmcconnellHT @heraldscotland On my way to Dundee yesterday got stopped at Berwick and not allowed over the border ? I told em I was a Celtic fan but no way ?
