NHS exposing Salmonds lies today. The SNP are ready to cut the funding to the NHS once independence comes in. This is the complete opposite to what he has been saying these past weeks and months.
Wonder how many more of his policy's are also based upon lies.

And the ones that are not based on lies are based on mis-truths...
The SNP don't care about the people of Scotland post Independence, they only care about getting the credit for leading Scotland into their Independence dream.
When Scotland is free from the evil Eng...sorry Westminster, it will have the money to afford anything and everything it wants. It is written in the sacred White Paper.
I cannot help feeling that due to the west lothian question UK voters should have had a say.
I would certainly have voted for Scottish independence personally.
Aaaagh................
Afternoon Mr. Salmond!!!
The people of England should have woken up ages ago and recognised the fact that the best way to solve the West Lothian Question once and for all is to campaign for an English Parliament. Trouble is, most of them think that's what Westminster is.
You are probably right there.!
But belatedly we are waking up Labour did not ban Scottish MPs form voting on English issues in my view as they were only looking at their majority in the HOC,and how that might be affected Blair should have dealt with this at the time.
Cameron said today we are "Nowhere near" an English parliament. Does he not realise that if there was already a strong English parliament then the Union might not be in danger of breaking up.
He probably does but its too late in the day.
He should have reformed things in my view rather then a referendum.
But there you go.
Too many Scots in UK politics. They can have a say in how England is governed but not the other way for English MP's! It was Scottish LibDems that voted to raise the tuition fees in England to 9k
The Barnet formula gives them more money per head than the rest of the UK, Why?
They moan about the so called "Westminster" government forgeting that this was controlled in 13 of the last 17 years by two Scottish Prime Ministers. One who sent the UK into a War in Iraq. The other who squandered all our gold reserves and nearly bankrupt the UK. (Scotland would have gone bankrupt if it was independent)..
Then when the coalition is called in to clear up the left over horse manure they blame Cameron and Co.
To all Scottish voters please vote YES.
You can go your own way without the rUK funding you!
If the vote is Yes the issue is resolved anyway apart from Welsh MPs. If it is No then all that is needed is to only allow MPs from any of the countries of the UK to vote on legislation before Westminster if it directly impacts the country they were elected in.
So do you think the Scottish MP's would allow it?
If it was that easy why has it not been done.
There are probably voters in Scotland who think after independence they should have representation at Westminster.
I don't trust them to abide by that. They would claim that the implications of spending on a particular education or health issue impacted on Scotland and so they would claim the right to vote.
he does not realise much does he
I guess that depends on if you think he wants No to win the day, or just wants to look like he wanted No to win
Both health and education are already devolved to Scotland so their MPs shouldn't be voting on legislation before Westmister on those matters unless it changes the situation in Scotland. There would need to be rules on voting which would prohibit any government from deciding on what was and what wasn't allowed to suit their agenda.
I'm not complaining, though, i find him quite entertaining.
There is agreement that there is a funding shortage and services will have to be cut.
Obviously in a post-Yes vote Scotland that funding shortage can be addressed, as the only question will be how much the Scottish Gov't is willing to spend from the entire pot of taxation, not how much has the Westminster Gov't has allocated plus how much can the Scottish Gov't top-up from minor tax raising powers.
