Scotlands 40 Billion Financial Black Hole

[BrilloPad]

It may be an understandable wish that you want there to be 10 million of us fine Scots but there are only 5 million of us. Quality not quantity.


PS: keep your rioting chavs south of the border.

Are you sure that 5 million have not left?

All the Scots I have ever met have been fine. Until getting on the subject of the English. When they start foaming at the mouth with hatred - but they never seem to know why exactly.

Why would they get any oil revenues? So most of it lands at Sullom Voe, but it does so through a resies of pipes. just redirect the pipes and have it land elsewhere. The fields themselves are in international waters arn't they?

Yes, but the Scottish Navy will defend them to the death!

This is what always puzzles me. IIRC North Sea oil rights were divided up by international agreement, with a big chunk being allocated to The United Kingdom. Not Scotland, but The United Kingdom. So if Scotland leaves The United Kingdom it has no rights to the oil. A lot of the associated industry may be based in Scotland, but that means they should be paying us for the right to extract our oil.

5.2 million last census, unlike others we don't use politics to control immigration. 'pick em him up so is I can put the heed in em'

We also have an aircraft carrier, so hands off our oil!

Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.

How much are you going to charge for looking after our Nukes?

You can have them back. I believe they have a built in delivery system that we could use
