It is not in the past, we deal with the here and now...and we face a great big hole : we have a small manufacturing base and rely on tourism, service industries, retail, spirt exports, I cannot see these sectors ( 3 being demand derived : poor demand = low demand = job losses ) plugging the fiscal gap I note you body swerved tidal / wave issues ( and I am not frothing at the mouth so dont use that expression please ! ) which I find unbelievable given it to was to form part of the New Scotland, rich with wave tidal renewable energy sales / r and d etc : FFA simple, the majproity coalition could abolish Barnet and tell scots get on with it...run yer own gaff...that could well happen under a tory alliance.ie Call their bluff, if we get FFA, then forget all the guff about taking longer to tackle austerity being peddled by Sturgeon et all, it isnt going to happen, what will inevitably happen is austerity * 10 and cuts.
