That&#...Pretty much that's how it is, Arbroath. That's a good list of lies, and I'm sure there are more.<br /><br />The BBC interviewed a economist guy this morning who said that Scotland could de better off after independence, depending how much of the oil we were allowed to have, but when the oil ran out there would either have to be tax increases or the standard of living would decline.<br /><br />Now first of all, that is only true if no one does anything about finding alternative income generating jobs, and only a completely moronic government would allow that to happen. As it is this government and the Labour Executives in the past have been investing in other energy sources, and developing other industry.<br /><br />Secondly, and no one picked the guy up on this, the oil, when it runs out, won't choose to run out only if Scotland is independent. If it remains part of the UK, the oil will run out, oil in Scottish waters and oil in English waters will run out.<br /><br />So the whole UK will get poorer and either have to increase taxes, or if the Tories are in, presumably they will just burn poor people to keep rich people warm.<br /><br />My point is that no one at the BBC pointed that out. You don't have to lie to mislead, you can do it by not pointing out an obvious flaw in an argument and thereby letting someone get away with creating an impression that as an independent country we shall be poor, but as part of greater England things will be rosy ... John Humphries did that this morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-82774165564474471962012-11-19T12:17:55.593+00:002012-11-19T12:17:55.593+00:00No Barney, listen carefully,I shall say this only ...No Barney, listen carefully,I shall say this only once. <br /><br />If you are SNP and you lie or make a mistake you will be headline material.

The tories took about 15 years then Labour, sorry, New Labour got in. They were in for 13 years(?) and eventually got turfed out (although not very convincingly) for being 'a bit' crap.<br /><br />Seems like the press and opposition are going for single figures with this SNP government. Sure enough, they're not prefect but by god (if you believe in that sort of thing,) they're lightyears ahead of the rest.<br /><br />I apologise Lupus I, I'll change it to: "Stick a red rose in a cats arse which seems to have grown teeth."

Labour seem incapable of thinking they can make a mistake and certainly never seem to apologise for misleading people. And I am not going to distinguish between parliament and anyone else, a lie if told deliberately by those elected to represent us, with the intention of misleading is unforgivable whoever you tell it to. By not apologising as soon as possible it makes it look like Curran, Lamont etc were lying with the deliberate intention of misleading us. The fact that they have a tame media simply means a huge fuss is not made out of their lies for equally unappealing reasons. While the obvious glee that they all get when the SNP or even better Alex himself err is quite revolting.Munguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475165830302054002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-25897924389453058332012-11-19T09:43:48.606+00:002012-11-19T09:43:48.606+00:00Niko,
