A Chairadean mhath.

This is my update of the Big Lie article. It reveals the deception of the 2005 Gers report.

Just came accross this
Apparently Scottish Entertprise Party have had a forensic accountant
go through GERS and it appears that instead of a £ 11 billion black hole
Scotland was actually in surplus to the tune of £ 9.6 billion
THey clame that they sent the findings to all newspapers, but has been ignored
Its worth a read in case you havent seen it already

I came across this article by Evan Davis when looking for something else, earlier today.

His conclusion re the Scottish deficit was

"With all these reconciliations, the "corrected" SNP measure of the deficit is £3.5 billion. Which matches the "corrected" Executive measure of the deficit of £3.5 billion.

And that's my measure of the "Scottish deficit" last year. Or to put it another way, its about a tenth of the UK government deficit, so not very different to being proportional to the Scottish share of Gordon Brown's UK deficit. "
