Quote:Scottish Welfare state would be as open for abuse as the current UK one
I don't think welfare is an issue. It's a side issue.
It's not welfare claimants that are crippling the UK, it's greedy bankers, the bonus culture, tax evasion etc.
Welfare always needs careful management, but you deal with the pennies once you have the pounds sorted out. In the UK we have a government in power who don't want to tackle the big issues.
The Tories are prepared to put our economy on hold, stifle economic recovery, get us fighting amongst ourselves, so they can keep their hands, and their buddies hands on their big fat untaxed stacks of cash.
17 years of Tory rule led to devolution. Scotland needs to wake up quick, lets not wait for another 10-15 years, or more, of Tory rule to realise finally that we have little politically in common with England and that once again we've been focced over by a government we never wanted.. We gotta get out now.
Oh, will Osborne cut the 50p rate?
