You cannot be serious, in my town alone under Maggie regime the
following companies closed
Massey Ferguson,
Glenfield and Kennedy,
Saxone Shoes
Thistletex carpets
include various smaller companies and total job losses were about 4,000
jobs went in her first term,

within 12 miles
1000 in Chemical manufacturing
1000 in textiles
4000 in the mining industry
1000 In other computer and electronic manufacturing

Total unemployment over 20% in the area, inflation 25% hardly doing fine!

The trouble with property is that it is OK if like me you have some, but
if you're like my oldest two having just graduated from university a
couple of years ago and still on relatively poor salaries, housing is
totally unaffordable due to over inflated house prices.  A house is
meant to be a home, somewhere you live, raise your family and enjoy, not
an investment. Much of today's financial problems can be directly
related to greatly over inflated house prices and money borrowed on the
equity. A fixation with house prices seams to be a peculiarly British
thing and high house prices are not a good thing.

No its about the ill informed attitude of some people from England. The
majority of Scots are happy with the Union they just wanted to look
after Scottish matters themselves. Something the English should also be
doing for English only matters and not via Westminster. Since 1936 only
two PM's have been Scots hardly over representative but still some go on
about it. If you think you're getting a raw deal you'll have look closer
to home and stop blaming the Scots. Perhaps some of the money from the
Olympics in London would have been better spent on healthcare and
education for the English for instance.
