Atlantic Oil

"
Which brings us back to West of Shetland. The mineral resources are there. But let’s not repeat the mistakes made in the North Sea. West of Shetland should be developed and exploited by a state-owned Scottish energy company. That way we keep the profits as well as the taxes. And avoid those “made in London” deficits."

Seems like the SNP want to nationalise it son.

If you just cut and paste any old shyte without reading it yer going to look pretty daft when it's used against you.

Try again son.

Jezzo Noah please actually read what I'm saying nobody but nobody is mentioning Nationalising the Oil industry except you. What Im advocating is Scotland having a state own oil company. As the W Shetland field is opened up we get in there at the ground floor just as Norway did with Statoil.

In the event of an Independent Scotland do you think it would be a good idea for a state owned Oil & Gas company. One that would benefit the whole of Scotland. Yes or No ?

Sorry I don't remember saying anything about whisky revenues. Can you point it out for me ? Not saying your making it up just don't remember.

Ah found it on a different thread. Its about £4 billion a year in gross value added to the economy, That's a huge benefit to a country of only 5 Million as opposed to 55 Million. But if you think that's a bad thing what can I say.

What sort of economy do you think we need to be a viable Independent country ? Be interested to hear what you think.

Scotland the only Country in the whole wurld.... To strike Oil and get poorer.

Venezuela?

A wee bit like the other side and direct questions?
Perhaps you could answer a question each - that would be a little more informative than sniping

[stewarty27]

Venezuela?

Technically Venezuela is far richer than many many countries. But because of economic mismanagement on a world-historical scale they phucked it up. Scotland on the other hand has a very diverse economy where Oil & Gas are a bit of a bonus. I'll post a link for you have a read very interesting. Don't you C***ts just love putting Scotland down.
