DOUGLAS Ross has been panned for an “absurd” comparison likening an independent Scotland to the economic crises faced by Venezuela and Zimbabwe.
The Scottish Tory leader suggested that “hundreds of thousands” of people could end up “fleeing” Scotland after a Yes vote to escape financial turmoil.
The SNP hit back at Ross after his attacks, which focused on the economic prospectus for an independent Scotland which was published by the First Minister on Monday.
