    Life, liberty, and a nice, reassuring umbilical cord still attached to Mother in case bad things happen.

    "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!" it is not.

    started a topic Scottish "Independence" manifesto

    Scottish "Independence" manifesto

    These included:

    Thirty hours of childcare per week in term time for all three and four-year-olds, as well as vulnerable two-year-olds
    Trident nuclear weapons, currently based on the Clyde, removed within the first parliament
    Housing benefit reforms, described by critics as the "bedroom tax", to be abolished, and a halt to the rollout of Universal Credit
    It would be in Scotland's interest to keep the pound, while the Bank of England would continue as "lender of last resort"
    Basic rate tax allowances and tax credits to rise at least in line with inflation
    A safe, "triple-locked" pension system
    Minimum wage to "rise alongside the cost of living"
    First Minister Alex Salmond launches the Scottish government's independence blueprint, calling it a "mission statement" for Scotland's future.


    So the plan is a lavish welfare state, and if the money runs out England has to bail them out. Didn't see that coming.
