Londons coffers may leak to Scotland

In what can only be described as the biggest hoot of the year, Alex Salmond, leader of the Scottish National Party, has informed London that a loophole in the Scottish devolution bill will mean Scots can claim back millions of pounds of taxes extorted by London/Westminster!!!

Whether or not Alex is bluffing is irrelevant, the scrambling, frantic responses from the dolts in the so called 'Scottish Office' as well as the less intelligent denizens of the treasury in London say it all:

THEY ONLY SEE SCOTLAND AS A PLACE TO COLLECT TAX REVENUE

Good one Alex. Should they plug this loophole, it will just prove the point they want our oil, gas, timber, fish, electronics, banking and other tax revenues, but don't give a monkeys about us as Scots!
