Originally posted by Orange1290 Irrelevant, £100s of billions have been made by the treasury since the 70s and only a tiny fraction has benefitted Scotland from what are mostly Scottish resources. The insinuations are that Scotland doesn't contribute enough for what it takes from the treasury, which is far from the truth. It's already contributed enough through past oil revenues for many decades to come. Edited by Orange1290 (02 May 2021 9.52am) I love the Scottish oil myth. It was their government and companies that paid for it's exploration, drilling, transport and refining. It is also protected by the Scottish navy and traded on the Scottish Stock Exchange. It must also speak Scottish and wear a kilt. Red and Blue Army!

Those were used and squandered mostly by England, with a tiny fraction remaining/going back into Scotland. Pro China, EU & Palestine

Some of it isn't any nearer to Scotland than it is to other countries. Ownership of these things just doesn't work the way this constant economic thread of Scottish independence likes to suggest. The suggestion is that the minute Scotland becomes independent, the Scottish can live like the Saudis from their oil, plus a bit of whiskey. As if the British government would just give it all away and say good luck. It's literally just silly. Red and Blue Army!

Doubt it was Scotland. Or is it the case of let the Central Government pay but anything made from it is ours?

Spending a lot being the better option than spending more than a lot is hardly a good choice. I agree that the SNP expect the UK to fund their project, kind of buy me a big stick and I will beat you with it. Natwest already announced if Scotland goes independent they are leaving and taking all the jobs with them. If more major employers did this then people would be less enthusiastic Originally posted by jeeagles Spending billions to preserve the union will be less expensive and disruptive than the cost breaking it up. We need a less London centric economy. Its a real shame the HS2 can't be extended up to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen. Edited by HKOwen (02 May 2021 10.54pm) Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

A few months ago there was so much excess oil the price became negative as the big companies had to pay people to take excess production off their hands. By 2040 there will be a ban on manufacturing new petrol vehicles.

Let them go and become an impoverished dystopian nightmare. The prospect of independence is an industry employing many people on nice salaries such as Sturgeon's husband. They must know that economically it is a non starter. I like the way the SNP have all been instructed to have EU flags on view in video interviews and use the word " Tory " as an adjective. The whole thing is like a student politics project, the Union came about because they managed to bankrupt themselves on a pipe dream sold to many by a few, sound familiar.........
