That's not true curly - the GERS report doesn't show that.

Yes - but that's because we are running a deficit. The UK as a whole puts in less than it gets back.

Scotland’s estimated net fiscal balance was a deficit of £7.6bn (or 5.0% of Scotland’s GDP). The UK’s equivalent position was a deficit of £121bn (or 7.9% of GDP), meaning that Scotland is in significantly better financial shape than the UK as a whole

That's why I mentioned the deficit as a caveat.

On August 8th 1997, in the Herald, William Hague warned that devolution would turn Scotland into a "high-tax ghetto".

In August 1997, according to the version of the No campaign active at that time, devolution would cost us Scots £400 a year, each and every year.

On the 10th September 1997, Mr Hague described our devolved Parliament as "a dangerous trap from which Scotland might never recover"

We need to escape from these treacherous cants
