Scotland’s wealth disguised
Sir,
In his letter in last week’s Argyllshire Advertiser, Councillor Redman neglects to mention Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland calculations were designed by Ian Laing, Secretary of State for Scotland 1990 to 1995, deliberately to disguise Scotland’s true wealth in order to ‘show how much we benefit from being part of the UK’. He also failed to mention Scotland’s share of the deficit was incurred by the UK Government, not the Scottish Government, in his letter full of ‘Independence facts’. He is just parroting ‘Conningselservative’ propaganda.
