SCOTLAND BILL IS A SMOKESCREEN!

Alex Salmond has attacked the Scotland Bill, unveiled today by the London Unionists and formulated by their QUISLING colleagues in Scotland.

He said the Scotland Bill’s proposals to give MSPs power to raise income tax in return for Holyrood giving up some of its block grant from Westminster as a “backward step”.

At a press conference at Bute House in Edinburgh, his official residence, he produced figures suggesting the total cuts in the block grant would be £8 billion more than the money raised in income tax if the powers had been in place over the past decade.

He also claimed that most of the extra income tax revenues generated by future economic booms would flow to the Treasury, not Scotland.

If they want Scotland to be responsible for raising and spending tax, why not let us go the whole hog and have total responsibility for all taxes and spending.  It's going to come sooner or later and the UNIONIST TRAITORS in THE LABOUR, LIBDEMS AND CONSERVATIVES branches in Scotland know it as well.

This hotchpotch of powers will not satisfy the people of Scotland!

THOUSANDS of travellers were evacuated from Scotland's second largest airport yesterday after army bomb disposal experts were called to deal with a suspicious package left in a toilet.
Some families were ordered off their planes and the check-in and security screening processes were halted, forcing people to wait on the approach roads outside the terminals at Edinburgh Airport.
Other travellers were also held up in the arrivals hall during the mass evacuation, which lasted for two-and-half hours.

The "suspicious package" was later found to have been left by BIG TAM SCOBIE, FAE DALKEITH, who last night insisted on having third helpings of the Vindaloo Beef Curry at the "TAJ" INDIAN RESTAURANT IN ROSE STREET, where Sunday Night is "EAT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN FOR A TENNER".

MR SCOBIE had started the night off with nine pints of heavy, "afore he went ontae the wee voddies".

Mr Singh, the proprietor of the "Taj" Restaurant said, "Yes ideedy, I am remembering BIG TAM, the big man is a regular and by the way we also do a very good "BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE", night on a Tuesday" "Last orders 1 A.M.".

Security staff at the airport's first suspected a LETHAL GAS ATTACK. The supervisor on the shift a Mr Charles Farquar told reporters, "aye, the smell was fucking bowfin like, eh". "We called in the Bomb Squad right away and aefter their controlled explosion, there was fucking shite a'ways, eh", "it'll take a month tae get the shite oot the cracks, eh".

A spokesman for BAA said that flights will be in the meantime be diverted to Glasgow, a real airport, where, terrorists can expect a good doing from baggage handlers.
