I am one of the many Scots who stopped paying a tv license fee when I worked out the BBC was one of the propaganda outlets of Westminster.

Westminster cannot tolerate the Scottish government taking any initiative. Why? Westminster are concerned that it puts the Scottish government in a positive light. This means we cannot progress as a country until we become independent!

Countries can invest the surplus the make in their own country. Scotland has no facility to do this as we are just given a budget. Were we to be independent we could build our economy. The prof knows this and chooses to ignore this fact which makes him a mouthpiece for Westminster!

The cost of electricity for businesses in Scotland is the highest in the SNP world. Domestic prices are much higher in Scotland as are standing charges despite Scotland being an exporter of energy to England. Miliband specifically decided to keep prices in Scotland high.

The Real Living Wage has delivered a pay boost to 72,000 Scottish workers.

I visited Capital City Partnership to mark a record 4,000 Real Living Wage employers in Scotland - proportionately that’s around 5 times more than the rest of the UK.

Davie reigns nut in Scotland:-

BBC Scotland has had to issue yet another correction after giving out false figures relating to drug deaths. We've lost count of the corrections and apologies the BBC has had to make after broadcasting false claims. The falsehoods always negatively impact the SNP.
