[Tommy_Dickfingers]

Because she has seen the Treasury will support the extension of the furlough scheme in England.

She is taking the absolute p*** out of Westminister and us English tax payers

Don't they have Scottish taxpayers? Grow up man!!!

 

[1finny]

eh?
spaffing £12bn on Test and Trace is taking the psisis out of the taxpayer.
Westminster of course - Dido and her mates down there are making a fortune

You do realise the Scottish also pay taxes yeah?

Erm yes I do.

So how come she hasn't set up her own furlough scheme for an independent Scotland .................... because they can't afford to and have to rely on centralised government funds when it suits her.

Totally agree. Let them become independent and they can do that.

It's because the British government gets the tax receipts.

I’ll take a shot in the dark to try and answer your question

Is it because they aren’t independent?

 

[Tommy_Dickfingers]

Maybe she should try funding their own furlough scheme as a pre-cursor to asking for indyref 2

Has she got a magic money tree, you know like the one we only seem to find when there's a Tory donor in need for a few quid ?

 

[Muttley]

Put the spade down Tommy.

I can't stand the woman, she has more faces than the town hall clock.

Maybe, but at least she has a brain.

Because they're not not 'independent Scotland'. They can only do what devolved govts are allowed to and in their case doing a pretty good job imho. At least they've got free education, free prescriptions, cheaper water charges, lower council tax, lower income tax, free personal care etc
