GERSday turns up every August, like the proverbial bad penny. Unionists will, no doubt, and as ever, come out with all their usual nonsense about…
government in Scotland. And there is no entity that exists in Scotland that embraces both those things and Scottish local authorities and other government agencies, but GERS presumes that there is, and supposedly accounts for them, albeit atrociously badly.
