Norma Learmouth Ambassador YES Campaign openly Lying on Scottish Exports


Here we have a supposed Ambassador for the YES Campaign openly Lying on Scottish Exports, and despite having been shown the real facts of Scottish Exports on the  Scottish Governments own Website time after time just went on to Retweet the same Lies for a second time over.

 Norma Learmouth is simply a deliberate Liar for Indy.

Imagine not being able to make a case for Scottish Independence without having to deliberately spread easily demonstrable Lies ?


The Facts relating to Scottish Exports can be found on  Scot Governments own Website on the Exports "Frequently asked Questions" page that can be found on the following link :-
https://www2.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Economy/Exports/ESSFAQ

The most common misunderstanding is on Scottish Exports leaving the UK from non Scottish Ports which is answered specifically on this link here , note too that the answer below it focusses on Whisky Exports too :-

The other common "myth"  is that Scotland doesn't get any "Export Taxes" on goods leaving Scotland from non Scottish Ports. That question is answered below and on this link provided direct from Scot Gov's own Website :-  https://www2.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Economy/GERS/queries/008 












What does it say about the personality of a so called "Ambassador YES Campaign " who can be clearly seen to be deliberately lying to other Scots on the facts of Scottish Exports shown on the  Scot Gov's own Website ?

Nothing that comes out of the mouth of Norma Learmouth should be taken as the truth. 





Norma can be clearly be seen simply to be a deliberate serial liar , get properly informed  from reliable  trustworthy sources that show evidence based data backed up with  links from original and honest source's NOT invented "memes" or  "fantasy Blogs" posted on Social Media. 


All Voting in Scotland gets counted properly in Scotland , this again is just deliberate Lies , even 
Wings produced a Blog on Voting during the Referendum, read and understand it properly.

Another blatant Lie , Scottish Police said nothing like this at all, there is even a Video of the whole event online where you can choose to do the count yourself  , the number is under Thirteen Thousand marchers. (Actually just 13K NOT 193K)

Another blatant Lie, these numbers bear no resemblance to any that I have ever seen.
Scot Govs own published financial numbers can be see here and show Scotland running consistent Overspending Deficits for the years 2013-2018.  


The amount Scotland actually "Gets back" is around £74bn annually is total , made up from "Block Grant " of around £32bn plus the other £42bn paid out as Pension's and Welfare Payments paid into Scots own bank accounts direct from UK Gov bank account . ( £32 + £42 = £74Bn). Why do Nationalist spend all their lives lying  ? 


A £13.4bn Overspend for 2018 alone
