You are just being silly now.

Not as silly as you inferring I have swallowed any UKIP guff but as it's Sunday I'm willing to put your silliness down to the ramblings of a confused old soul.

Oi! I'm an ethnic minority and should be getting lots of grants from the SNP. I bring multiculturalism...:ears:

Why don't you two just ignore each other instead of bickering like two teenage school kids tit for tat ! Getting worse than the tennis match between SILH and SR.

I do try to........ good advice

Ok, as long as you take your own advice.

Why don't you just ignore all of us instead pf playing the Prima Donna.

According to a Labour Lord, if Scotland gain independence and Labour are elected [I know:lol:] the rUK will not trade with then.

Anyone any idea how rUK Labour will replace the £48.5 billion gap that would leave in their economy

Doon, I wouldn't be worrying about the nonsense this buffoon has spoken. I'd take more notice of Oscar the Grouch in the his rubbish bin.

An interesting perspective

I don't, I just wonder at the level of desperation that made him say it, and whither any fool would believe it.

I know. The thing is, businesses decide who they trade with, not govts. This idiot is detatched from reality.

Buy stuff from other countries I guess. Ireland, Japan, India and Canada do reasonable whiskies. I think there is a bakery in Milton Keynes that do a passable Tartan Shortbread as well.

So they might in your opinion, but life's too short to drink "reasonable" whiskies; either drink the proper stuff or don't bother.

Well I passed off a nip of Penderyn to a gruff Scotsman at the weekend as a drop from this homeland

You have managed to have answered my question the wrong way round old boy.
Try again.

I like whisky and at a recent Whisky evening we had six good ones to try without knowing which we were drinking. The top one was an Indian and the third was Japanese. Second was an 18 year Glenomorangie.

OK.
There is a bakery in Milton Keynes that do a passable Tartan Shortbread and Ireland, Japan, India and Canada do reasonable whiskies. There you are the other way round :thup:

For the second time of asking, why don't you simply try to answer the question.
I shall repeat it for clarity.

A senior Labour politician threatens to cease trade with an independent Scotland.
If this happens how will rUK plug the £48.5b gap in THEIR budget.
Clue.......goods outwards NOT inwards.

Doon, maybe have a second look at who exports to who. Scotland exports £49bn to the rest of the UK, and the rest of the UK exports £62bn to Scotland. By only painting half the picture it looks like you are putting in a bit of spin.

As to the numpty Labour Lord, Project Fear starting early.

Yes....I was aware of the difference but in error put the lower figure in instead of the higher £62bn.
Not putting any spin on it, just a curious rhetorical question as to how rUk would fund the now £62bn loss.
