If I was you I would worry more about UK debt 

 

As of Q1 (the first quarter of) 2015, UK government debt amounted to £1.56 trillion, or 81.58% of total GDP, at which time the annual cost of servicing (paying the interest) the public debt amounted to around £43 billion (which is roughly 3% of GDP or 8% of UK government tax income

this was before this

Almost another half a trillion giving us highest debt in developed world,

See, here is the issue - you throw things around as fact and they can be proven to be complete fabrication.

 

Even adding 500 billion to the 1.56 trillion of debt still isnt the highest debt in the developed world.

 

The US national debt to foreign countries stands at over $6 trillion - so unless you dont consider the US to be part of the developed world (which would just be silly) then your statement in bold above is a complete fabrication and nothing more than scare-mongering.

 

Is that level of debt of concern ?  Of course - but is your statement accurate ?  Absolutely not.

Scotland is now the lowest taxed part of the UK thanks to yesterday’s budget .

That does not even take into account Studnt Fees, Prescriptions, bedroom tax mitigation,free care for the elderly, bus passes etc.

So ignoring your blatant lie about there only being 3 colonies left and changing subject to Scotland being the lowest taxed part of the UK.... interesting.

The one you omitted of course was Northern Ireland a lot of our support won’t like it or admit however a United  Ireland is a certainty the numbers are stacking up against the most British of the British.

And yet again... Ignoring your own blatant lies, spinning the conversation to something completely irrelevant (I omitted nothing, merely gave you more examples than you had suggested were even in existence)

 

To be honest, you are completely ignoring the points being put to you and creating some spurious counter-claim - something which nobody even mentioned.

 

Lets deal with FACTS.

 

You said there were only 3 British colonies remaining.  You were proven to be WRONG.  What was your response ?  To ignore being wrong and focus on Ireland looking at seceding.

 

Get your facts straight first and then deal with the periphery.

Barrheadboy does this every time.  Asks for facts and then when he gets them, ignores them and moves onto other subjects he mistakenly thinks he's right about.

 

It's pointless trying to debate sensibly with him.  

 

 

 

Mind you, we should ignore a referendum result and just focus on a poll carried out last week amongst 2-300 Scots.  That the sort of parallel universe he inhabits.

You get way too much ‘news’ from the right wing racist press far more immigrants going to mainland Europe, Germany in particular.

Immigrants are net contributors to our economy ,our public services will suffer greatly if the Little Brits get their way on immigration.

Only the right wing racist press has articles on the situation at Calais?

 

I didn't have the Guardian down as right wing racist press.  Oh well.

 

And by the way, my wife is an immigrant.

Lowest taxed ??? Only for people who contribute nothing it is. Others like myself now face income tax rises & council tax rises to pay for it. This is called socialism. Utopia for the work shy. It will fail in the end. Socialism always does

He’s done his usual - came on, posted a load of rubbish, passed it off as fact, then when questioned, done a runner. Barrheadbhoy by name, Barrheadbhoy by nature.
