Scotland has only 8.3% of the UK's population. 8.3%! Remember this important figure... 8.3%
But we DO have approximately......
32% of the land area
61% of the sea area
90% of the fresh water. (There is more fresh water in loch Ness than In England and Wales combined!)

Zack Polanski just crushed the Spectator like a bug over wealth taxes

Polanski has brilliantly exposed why our billionaire-owned media is pushing back against wealth taxes.

Pursuing an SNP majority rather than a pro-Indy majority smacks of pigheadedness and dare, I say, a touch of sabotage on John Swinney's part.

In an independent Scotland, the government wouldn`t have to "step in" because we would control the purse strings.

How much money does the Scottish government have to spend every year mitigating previous Westminster disasters from an annually reduced tax rebate. 🤷‍♂️

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.

But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.

Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.
