Socialism has never worked anywhere but you know, if we just tried it again...? Perhaps if we taxed the rich harder, more state control, price controls, etc. perhaps it will work this time...?

Venezuela? No, they didn't try Socialism hard enough....

What about the Socialist Republic of China?

The one with all those privately owned factories making the goods we love to import...? That one?

No comparison at all is there

Sturgeon's idea of socialism is that everyone is equally entitled to get everything for nothing- a recipe for disaster

The Chinese version means everyone is equally entitled to get nothing for nothing- that works a lot better

HiC you do make me larf

As I see it, Sturgeon is a loud mouthed harridan, a legend in her own mind. If she's the best politician Scotland has had, it doesn't say much for the rest. If one could believe that she would cut all ties with England I wouldn't mind, but the chances are that she would want to rule Scotland, but keep the most advantageous aspects that England had to offer.
