10 times worse than brexit says a member of the RW pro-union, Brit gov sooking press!!?? This is a classic example of desperate anti Scot gov/SNP spin by desperate unionists plus Brit govt sponsors!! The fact rating re this story is actually 10 x zero for "spinning" Blyth's comment to suit their usual shameless lying arguments akin to the Brexit con itself. Blyth's use of the phrase "It's Brexit times 10" is not a calculation, but clearly a hyperbole"!! Blyth is an economic adviser to the Scot govt and in on the post pandemic economic recovery in Scotland. He is also a backer of Scottish independence albeit sceptical before. His quote is taken from an interview to the Foreign Press Association before his appointment to the Advisory Council. He merely repeated that there would be short-term costs to indy if Scotland is to recognise its regulatory, currency and taxation position in order to escape what he terms as "the imploding growth model" currently being pursued by the Tory govt in Westminster. He is scathing re the potential negative impact of Brexit, noting the "supposed benefits have so far at least proven to be illusory". He argues that the debt-financed, monopolised UK economy outside of the EU will mean a resulting decline in investment and productivity that forces down real wages - arguing that Scotland has to escape this disastrous future - which is why he changed his mind on independence for Scotland. He reminds everyone the road will be hard, but the only alternative is to remain in the UK and go down with the sinking Tory/Brexit ship. WE CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER AS A SMALL INDY SOVEREIGN NATION WITH HUGE POTENTIAL AND CAPABILITY - BIG ENOUGH, SMART ENOUGH AND RICH ENOUGH TO DO IT AND DO IT WELL!!
