PROTESTERS gathered outside Holyrood as chaos engulfed the UK economy following the announcement of its reckless tax-slashing plans to demand the Scottish Government hold its nerve on its “fairer” tax system.
Festooned with printed-off placards, a small band of grassroots Yes activists gave the message to the Scottish Government – which has already indicated it is unlikely to follow the UK Government’s example – to keep taxes at their current rates.
Campaigners from Yes for EU, who said they were not affiliated with any political party, said the SNP-Greens administration should highlight the benefits brought about by the higher level of income tax in Scotland.
