Alex Salmond had a point.

What's your solution to this?

Mr Shanks are you a Scottish MP trying to improve the Scottish citizens livelihood?

You ask a question then answer it yourself? Perhaps you should come to our next conference.

As you ask a new interconnect of course would be needed. An expert informed us that would take just a few months to be installed. It's not rocket science.

Some people haven't realised our last comment was an attempt at humour. It does highlight the trade in balance. Meet the Authors started with their books and touched on decolonisation and future relations between England, Scotland and Europe. #SSRGConference2026

Scotland's wealth has been diverted to London who used it to build railways and skyscrapers.

Yes the truth is Scotland will be one of the wealthiest countries in Europe.

Kevin has been posted pro Union anti Scottish comments for years with Sam Taylor. Scotland according to them is uniquely poor and couldn't survive without London taking all the taxes and using it's asset. Other countries of similar size are doing much better. Norway & Ireland

No as others have also identified the £150 Billion figure. You should ask the #SNP why they haven't raised the issue. Here's last year's speech at our previous conference. youtu.be/Azohp0WXtAQ?si=NqjF…

Our Director David Henry gave a speech and presentation about broadcasting in Scotland after decolonisation. It's unlikely the #SNP will be in power by then. youtube.com/live/xmFwHhKxJgE…

Yes we were aware that's how HMRC calculates certain taxes and GDP figures. Scotland's exports are under recorded. Professor Alf Baird has detailed how Scotland is short changed by £150 Billion a year. No wonder the pro union activists are posting nonsense.

That's based on the current situation inside the Union. What it exposes is that the cost of the Union is very high and that Scotland would be financially better off as a independent country. This has been explained by Professor Alf Baird at the SSRG Conferences.

Blocked for name calling. Why are unionists unable to make a positive case for the union? Instead all they offer is claims Scotland can't survive without them taking all the taxes and handing back a portion of the revenue.

Story reporting on the #SSRGConference2026 in the @ScotNational. Thousands have watched the live recordings so far on the SSRG TV YouTube Channel.

Not more nonsense from trolls? All linked to @These_Islands so we shouldn't be surprised. Bye

At present Scotland has little choice as it is held inside the UK and was removed from the #EU against the democratic will of the people of Scotland.

Wrong because if the HQ is registered in England then the majority of the trade is allocated to the HQ based on head count.

Now the name calling begins? How unprofessional. You ignore reality and are selective to try to hide the trading relationship between England and Scotland. We won't reply to you two @These_Islands again your not serious people.
