In the money

-

Scots receive £1,500 more in spending on public services than elsewhere in the UK – and the gap is growing, official figures today revealed. The figures were hailed as a “union dividend” by the UK Government.

“The figures were hailed as a “union dividend” by the UK Government.” When it really is just a bribe to keep us from leaving.

Kampung Highlander The gap in public spending per person in widening. The SNP are making no effort to reduce this gap. If they were serious about independen­ce they would be reducing this gap to make life easier in the event we vote to leave the UK. Remember nationalis­ts, when you boast about all the freebie bribes from the SNP, it is this extra spending that affords these freebies. They would all dry up if we voted for independen­ce.

Mike Lowery So what are the SNP wasting, sorry, spending this money on? It’s not on health, education, roads, so where is it going? Gaelic police cars, baby boxes and banning fracking, of course.

634TDJ Gaelic police cars is just the first move to denormalis­e English and anything not Scottish.

Don’t forget these allimporta­nt Gaelic road signs, so technicall­y they are spending on the roads.
