Scottish independence by stealth!

Before the referendum, they had 50% independence; now, all of a sudden, 60%!

In less than three weeks after the Scottish Parliament fell 5% short of getting, supposedly, 'full' independence, more tax raising powers - the hallmark of what independence means - was granted to them.

Radio 4 News had, "For the first time in more than 300 years, a Scottish government has delivered a budget in which it can levy and collect some of its own taxes.  These are a property transaction tax to replace stamp duty and a landfill tax.  "These new responsibilities will generate a small proportion of the devolved budget and Holyrood's share of UK funding will be cut accordingly."
