A Boy Named Crow Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Further to previous, somewhat inaccurate, thread about the death of the Scottish government's plans to introduce a local income tax,I'd just like to point you towards this article in the Sunday Herald. http://www.sundayherald.co.uk/news/heraldnews/display.var.2104802.0.0.php "The Sunday Herald can also reveal the existence of Treasury documents showing that council tax benefit - ?400 million of which the UK government is threatening to withdraw if Holyrood scraps the property-based tax - belongs to Scotland." Is there no end to the lies that Westminster will tell in order to prevent Scotland going its own way? Ask yourself this. If Scotland is such a paracite, if we lsck the skills and potential to succeed as a nation, if we are so utterly dependant on handouts and decrees from London, why does the UK govenment cheat and lie in order to keep Scotland in the union? Why not just cut us off and let us sink? Because the truth is, along with London, Scotland keeps the UK afloat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
