Even at today's prices which are beginning to rise Scotland would be 60 Million better off.

Another point to remember oil revenues would benefit 5.3 Million population as opposed to 55 Million

A couple of years ago a report by accountancy firm Grant Thornton shows that if an Independent Scotland received only 82.5% of North Sea Oil and Gas revenues Scotland would have a budget surplus of £4.4 billion, with 95% of revenues this would increase to £6.2 billion. It is abundantly clear that Westminster’s financial black hole is being filled with Scotland’s black, black oil. It is very simple even you if you allow yourself Paddy might just get that thick bonce O yours round it.

But and here's the rub even WITHOUT this rich resource Scotland would be a viable financial success.
More backward looking from wee stuarty.
