  1. Absolute fantasy. He pulls out these silly numbers, but doesn’t actually have any costed plan yet

  2. And how long would it take for us to get to that level? No mention of how much worse off we could possibly be at the start.

  3. And leaving the EU will mean an extra £350 million a week for the NHS…

  4. Isn’t this the same shite Big Eck was spouting back in 2014?

  5. They (all parties) just make up numbers, how feckin dumb do they think we are that we still believe this pish.

  6. And the moonunits get huffy when comparisons to brexit are made and the populist horseshit lies that drives indy are pointed out. No wonder Honest John is the leader.

  7. “*Could*” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

  8. Why not man, everyone on all sides is just making shit up anyway.

    I’m in.

  9. Seems party leaders love to make up imaginary numbers for how better off we are/will be

  10. This probably requires us to adopt a Scottish pound and experience a lovely period of hyperinflation.

    £10,000 better off, but you’re using the banknotes to paper your downstairs toilet.

  11. I’m so confused. This sub went back to being an over-aggressive Indy echo-chamber recently, now folk seem openly critical of it again.

    Or do just certain people post on certain threads, or bots?

  12. Put it on the side of a motorhome John. That’s the best place for these sorts of claims.

  13. Everyone in Zimbabwe became, millionaires, then billionaires then trillion, quadrillion, quinition, etc

  14. Don’t believe any Scottish politician, especially when their statements just happen to align with their desires

  15. John Swinney is plucking numbers from the same place as Lenny Henry.

  16. Yes, and Brexit will also save Brits millions every year. It’s very difficult to calculate these things, and you can pretty much calculate it to come out with any number you want.

  17. Fuck me, we’re still rattling on about this eh?

  18. You should read r/Ireland to see what you would be letting yourself in for.

    The Irish Republic has had a century of independence from “Da Brits”, and it’s still a basket case .

  19. If it was £10k when Yousaf said it & now £10k with Swinney, accounting for inflation, does that mean it’s equivalent to 2 Freddos if it did happen?🤔

  20. id be more inclined to vote indy if they were honest and said, theres gonna be short (or medium) term pain for possibly long term gain. £10000 for everyone??, nah mate yer talking pish and losing my vote.

  21. Aye nae bother then. Who’s paying for our NHS and free prescriptions then? Cause let’s be honest we’re not affording that alone. Things are shite now, but fuck me things would be fucking miserable if the UK wasn’t paying for half of our shit

  22. Fucking bullshit, saying anything for a vote, both sides

  23. “Could”. More SNP flexible mathematics?

    Just put everything in a proper paper with cold, hard numbers ffs. I’ve been asking for that for 15+ years, I won’t hold my breath.
