Bad GERS figures are a perfect argument in favour of independence. The GERS report states clearly that it’s figures are not representative of an independent Scotland. So when they are bad under the status quo then it is a great argument for stating the status quo.

GERS as it stands has been rigged since Whitehall got a fright in 2014, so I don’t accept or believe the figures anyway.

Are you for real? These are Scottish government figures. Are they lying?

Ah, do you always unconditionally accept Scottish Government figures, or do you only do so when convenient?

The figures are created using Whitehall methodology. I reject them.

“This means the statistics have been found to meet user needs, to be methodologically sound, explained well and produced free of political interference. Official statistics are produced in accordance with professional standards – more information on the standards of official statistics in Scotland can be accessed at: https://www.gov.scot/statistics/ “
