The normal rules of politics no longer exists in Scotland, the SNP Government up there are a borderline cult and with only minimal press and media scrutiny the likes of Sturgeon can just about get away with murder.
Probably because there is no real opposition up there.

Scotland is awash with government-inspired gags on the media.

Some may argue that, collectively, we were actually a happier bunch in the sixties. Debt/GDP/Ratios etc at the end of the day are just numbers.
Numbers that mean taxpayers money spent on paying interest on the loan. Private enterprise promoting economists talk about high levels of government debt being a negative for the performance of the economy, "crowding out" of private investment is a phrase that is used.

Looks like if there is a good time to max out the nations credit card, this could be it.

Try telling your banker or credit card company that low interest rates means they can give you unlimited credit.

Seems like the devolved nations are getting restless, Even though this piece doesn't mention Wales they are feeling a bit miffed too.

Did they ask the English?
I think the answer might shock a few.
