That's what we need more than anything else in Scotland I think. Good jobs for the population, especially for youngsters. Something for them to look forward to acheiving. And let's get rid of tick box targets. If the rector is doing his job supervising his staff he doesn't need to check on them by ticking boxes.<br /><br />As for results, there are other ways of measuring success than the number of highers a school acheivesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-86183557408198708922010-01-03T08:58:51.124+00:002010-01-03T08:58:51.124+00:00AH HA!!!!!!!!

The SNP aren't going to give much detail to London because that would be giving them more ammo for negotiation. We'll just have to be patient.<br /><br />More importantly, we have to up the standard of our education system and give youngsters hope. It can be done. It was done after both world wars when most were badly off. Schools then created incentives for the young to achieve. Now it's just a sake of getting them 'through' the curriculum by ticking all the boxes.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-28885964169650188432010-01-02T23:57:46.754+00:002010-01-02T23:57:46.754+00:00I don't know the answer.

All I know is that there are people living in Norway in a way that I can't even begin to aspire to.<br /><br />There's no reason we can't live like that. We must be contributing more to the UK than we get in all sorts of ways, but I have no idea where we can get that information.<br /><br />For sure we wouldn't have WMDs or be involved in two wars... that would save a lot.<br /><br />We export vast amounts of gas to England for which we get nothing. Our oil brings nothing in to Scotland. No VAT, Income Tax...etc... <br /><br />I don't know... but I bet we would be better off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-21156467177927214402010-01-02T23:39:50.154+00:002010-01-02T23:39:50.154+00:00Tris

Indeed being free is more important<br /><br />Still !! someone must have the answer, are we giving away to much for a pitance in return and to be sneered at.<br />why should we face any cutbacks if we are giving away more than we get back.<br />I have asked this question on many nationalist blogs but never seam to get an answer, everyone always wriggles out of it.!!!!!!!<br />So for me their is a huge problemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-49360934342790017952010-01-02T21:14:40.807+00:002010-01-02T21:14:40.807+00:00Anon: Yes, you're right, but who could actuall...Anon: Yes, you're right, but who could actually tell. it would depend on our taxation policies... how it is just now is how it is regulated by a parliament made up of largely English members. <br /><br />But I see what you are saying...<br /><br />However, not everything can be measured in financial terms... there are poorer but happier countries than Scotland I'm sure.<br /><br />Freedom and it's practical applications (I’m talking about more than the mere feeling of freedom) is a huge draw for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-21145953174006867632010-01-02T20:59:02.684+00:002010-01-02T20:59:02.684+00:00There is a solution for Scots though.?????????
Loo...There is a solution for Scots though.?????????<br />Look at Scotland as a long term independent country whose borders are defined. In particular sea boundaries as defined by UNCLOS, not gerrymanderd by anyone<br />Tell us what Scotland turns over in each year, in other words all taxes applied and raised within these boundaries would accrue to the Scottish treasury.<br />you know the kind of thing ie paye, vat, corporation, NI, capital gains,inheritance tax, council tax fuel tax and everything else you can think of.<br /><br />someone should be able to tell us this.<br /><br />If we make less than the union handout we have no solution.<br /><br />if we make more than the handout we should be screaming about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
