Being from the Lake district I hear everyone here, even though I've lived in and around london for 20 years now.
Truth is through Mr Salmond has played a blinder. London centricity affects England, it doesn't affect Scotland. They can vary income tax, their NHS is independent, their universities are free etc...
He's made huge political capital out of 'them down there' stealing our money and resources. Truth is that's not the case. Scotland gets slightly more than it raises and if you're being kind it spends what it raises.
But the idea that they will be better of financially when independent is ludicrous. Beyond ludicrous, it's school boy fantasies.
If he just came out and said this is about emotive nationalism not rational economics I'd be fine with it, truth is he's just lying and praying on the all to well trodden facist path of everything being someone else fault.
Him and Farage should get a room.
