Since Nicola took control, Scotland's Government deficit has soared to £15 Billion, 9.7% of GDP compared to 4.9% for the rest of the UK.
This will have to be paid for by the Scottish themselves.
It will be interesting to see how she copes with her continual overspending.
It will be more interesting to see how the Scottish Voters deal with Nicola when they get a massive dose of austerity to pay for all this spending.

Re: Nicola attempting to blackmail the rest of the UK !
Thus thread is hilarious. Sturgeon is the leader of the Scottish Nationalist Party, the clue is in the second word, if she wasn't pushing for independence she would be failing in her job.Unlike the English dupes, the Scots voted to remain in the EU by a large majority. Again Sturgeon would be failing in her role as leader if she did not take that feeling and run with it.
I realise it must be galling for some to have to put up with such a foreign upstart but that's the way of it, I am afraid.

Obviously, you are one who would like to remain in the EU as well. You could, of course, go to live in Scotland or, if the fish woman doesn't get her way, perhaps France or Spain. Then you could have a good laugh at us English dupes (and Welsh, of course. Sorry Rhian).
