"Scotland barely owns any of its own economy now. We are startlingly foreign owned. Our banks, our energy, our land, our supermarkets, our whisky industry – we work and we shop and we generate wealth and then the owners of these industries take the profit and ship it off overseas" -- Robin McAlpine

"Every time you wonder why Scotland can’t fund public services just remember that £6 out of every £100 is taken out of the country. Why do our GERS figures look bad? Because £6 out of every £100 is taken out of the country.

"[Scotland is] almost exactly as wealthy as the eurozone countries but we’re exporting wealth at twice the rate of even the most indebted poor countries. Can I get you to reflect on that – Scotland is rich like Europe but leaks wealth much, much worse than sub-Saharan Africa...
