I agree, it’s the most vulnerable who would suffer the most. I am afraid that I am way past giving this administration any benefit of the doubt, you may be too generous to them I fear. Ditto to school economics and then I was taught some at college, very basic but enough to grasp that separation would be a catastrophe for all of us but the least able would be hot the worst. The SNP’s attitude to this is unconscionable.

It beggars belief, even someone like me who only has a rudimentary knowledge of economics is aware of the consequences. Are the SNP wilfully ignoring the economic consequences or are they just completely ignorant? I am unsure, however they have proved that they do not care about the living standards of anyone in Scotland!

Given I always like to assume honest intent (maybe I'm too kind), perhaps many in the SNP really are wildly ignorant of economics. I benefited from a secondary school which taught economics on the curriculum, too many schools don't (during my time, economics was not on the mandatory national class list). But if they are aware, then they sell the most vulnerable (who understand all this the least) a pig and a poke...akin to pissing in their ear and telling them its rain. The nastiness for the sakes of flags and romanticised concepts of nationalist nationhood is offensive. We must do all we can to call this out. Too many will be hurt if we fail and scexit happens.
