We construct a massive flume at Berwick which goes out to the North Sea then doubles back in to land goods at Eyemouth next to the fish. We can install one of Boris's custom scanners on it as built by Dido Harding. Alternatively, we could stick a pair of massive googly eyes on every Eddie Stobart truck destined to cross the border and if Customs or Plod stops them, they can just say they were testing the truck's eyesight and fitness to drive.

Don Dan Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 https://apple.news/A2fLGLwMXRKy-j-JanwUwcg An independent Scotland would have to implement a more stringent form of “austerity” than the vision outlined in the SNP’s Growth Commission because of the pandemic, according to a leading economist. David Phillips, associate director at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), warned that the country would be left “with a relatively high budget deficit, substantially higher than the rest of the UK” in the event of a “yes” vote. He said that the Growth Commission, which was drawn up three years ago by Andrew Wilson, the former RBS banker and ex-SNP MSP, was supposed to update the financial case for independence but Nicola Sturgeon has said that it is now out of date after the Covid-19 economic crisis. The first minister, who has admitted that no updated work has been done about the fiscal impact of independence, rejected Phillips’ description of the commission as using “effectively austerity” to balance the books. He said that the pandemic had “blown a hole” in Scottish and UK finances. “That would mean we’re having to do a fiscal tightening at a UK level. Scotland would have to do that added on top of the one that was already there,” Phillips said. “The other thing that’s changed is it’s become clear that Brexit is a harder Brexit than we thought, and I think that means the issues around the border have become more tricky since 2018 as well. “It’s clear that an independent Scotland would start life with a large deficit. It would need to get that down, and that would mean difficult choices. That doesn’t mean Scotland can’t afford to be independent. Scotland’s a relatively rich country. “But it would need to make sure that it cut its cloth to fit the size of its own purse, rather than having fiscal transfers from the rest of the UK.” Sturgeon has said that she wants a second referendum to be held before the end of 2023 if a pro-independence majority is returned — including Green and potentially Alba MSPs — after next Thursday’s Holyrood election. She said that “pretty much every country in the developed world has a massive deficit right now and are shouldering massive debts” and that an independent Scotland would be starting its life in a similar position. “Therefore, I don’t think it’s credible to suggest that an independent Scotland would somehow be in a uniquely different position,” she said. “We would manage the deficit in the way that other countries manage deficit, through a combination of careful spending decisions and borrowing in order to, in a way consistent with supporting the economy and supporting people, bring the deficit and debt back to reasonable levels.” She added that Scotland being in a worse fiscal position than the rest of the UK was an argument for independence because it showed that different decisions should be made north of the border. When Scotland’s public finances were in ruder health than the UK as a whole, in the early part of the last decade before the oil price crash, the SNP argued this made the case for independence. The IFS also said in analysis of the SNP, Conservative and Labour manifestos that all three of the political parties lacked credibility when it came to their spending plans.
