Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[minestrone]

Not for Scotland, we have a small population and Oil and other important industries. Maybe in 50-60 years if somehow we don't build that trillion pound oil fund.

Please, someone make the bulltulip stop, I can't take it anymore.

Let it continue. The hangover will be a sight to behold....

You're building your dreams on a resource from which the world is rapidly moving away. Good luck with that; I'll wave as I'm driven by in my new electro-Google-buggy.

The world is not moving away from oil. It needs to, but so far it hasn't. Oil will remain a valuable resource until it runs out.

Which part is bulltulip? Oh we have a big population? Where were they hiding? Oh we don't have Oil? Or a whisky industry?

Not for the English it won't be. There will be a big celebration party in a few years.

Look out the window at any road/motorway. How many cars are being sold today that don't use oil vs electric?

Is that in 17/18 when George Osborne predicts he's balance the budget

Oil is running out. And the stuff under the North Sea is quite heavy. Would be better for the Scots if it was light. World is moving towards fracking.

You do not have enough of it to sustain your welfare state. You certainly do not have enough to build a sovereign fund. Unless taxes are cut and enterprise is stimulated the only place Scotland is going is a banana republic.

There are more uses for oil other than petrol and diesel. The electro-Google-buggy will be handy when it can travel more that 100 miles without having to stop and recharge for 8 hours.
