Trade deficit
I see that the UK Trade Deficit continues to hover around £4bn per month.
As we all know, a deficit is a bad thing. A very bad thing. That no country should contemplate, (and BTW it's not Labour's fault that Scotland is in deficit).
As we all know, to resolve the UK Trade Deficit Gordon Brown is planning to merge the UK with France as soon as he is anointed as majestic lizard king later this summer. Or not as the case may be.
Deficits are not inherently bad. Indeed, economic deficits can be essential at time. They cannot go on for ever without some compensating adjustments. Everyone agrees about that. Except, it seems, in the case of Scotland.
Perhaps someone can explain why?

Labour's Scottish election propaganda is so crude that I suspect its actually driving more voters toward the SNP, from sheer disgust.
First it was 'you'll lose all your lovely extra benefit pounds the English send you (£1500 per capita/annum)'; then it was 'the housing market will collapse, you'll all end up paupers!'; now it's 'budget black holes, oh my!'. They come up with new scare-rumours, and new (and transparent) vote-buying measures, every day.
Frankly, Labour's made a wreck of the UK's society, culture, labour markets, immigration policies, civil liberties, policing, sentencing, foreign policy, education, health care, etc. in the last ten years.
I often ask myself whether Labour are truly as stupid as they appear, or are perhaps French agents tasked with destroying the Anglo-Saxon Menace once and for all. I have never--ever--seen such comprehensive incompetence, across the entire spectrum of civil society, by any one party. They lurch from one extravagant solution to the other, creating quangos and endless bureaucracies, micromanaging everything from conkers to rubbish collection, and making a complete hash of everything they do.
Their latest brainwave is to attack the equity firms which power most of London's financial activity.
And these clowns have the chutzpah to lecture Scotland about DEFICITS?
Gimme a freakin' break.
Hmph.
love that fourth paragraph!
Mr jacobson, I believe that those Labour ministers, whom you rubbish,are mostly ( though certainly not all, and even mostly is a bit OTT, but it's just to add a bit of oomph ) Scottish, so maybe indepenence can be put on the back burner for a few years yet???

In order to keep them from plaguing Scotland by returnig home once independence is declared, you mean? The mind reels: Gordon and The Tone fighting over Bute House. I'd emigrate to Tasmania.
I was thinking instead that a new version of Hadrian's Wall could be built along the Cheviots to keep Gordo and the rest from ever afflicting Scotland again.
Can you see it? Brown drives up the A68, enjoying the Northumberland scenery, reaches the border: and stops dead at a huge border fence, with blue-bonnetted guards who look at his ID and say, 'Och, weel, ye're no wanted up here the noo, Jimmy! Off wi' ye back to London, you would-be Sassenach!'
That's my plan: England can keep all the Scottish MPs and welcome to 'em, say I.
We're going to have our hands full with Mr Salmond; although I hear Sir Sean may be willing to become Scotland's first PM....
Okay, I made that last bit up.
