Better Together leaflet blunder

TODAY I received a booklet from Better Together entitled The Facts You Need for the ­referendum.

After months of believing we could “go it alone”, I am almost convinced from page 8 of the aforementioned booklet that there is no way we can afford independence.

Can Yes Scotland assure us we will be able to afford the £4.5 billion budget for every Scottish school shown on the booklet’s pictorial blackboard to prove that (caption) “Schools and hospitals are better protected within the UK”?

Obviously we must have either the best funded education establishments in the world or a very profligate set of school managers.
