    An independent Scotland would struggle to be economically self-reliant as most of its North Sea oil reserves are "depleted", the head of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has warned.

    Commenting personally on Scottish independence, OPEC secretary general Abdalla Salem el-Badri said Scotland would be best off remaining in the United Kingdom.

    "Myself, I don't see how England will stay without Scotland and Scotland stay without England. This is how we all grew up, with the UK, not with Scotland and England," he told the Daily Telegraph.

    Badri admitted that the Scottish referendum had "nothing to do with OPEC", which represents the world's 12 oil-producing countries and controls a third of the world supply. However, he said: “Most of their reservoir is depleted now.”

    Scottish first minister Alex Salmond has used the tax revenues from the North Sea reserves as a central argument for the country's independence.

    Scotland doesn't see any of the oil money as it is so it doesn't really matter

    We have vast reserves of shortbread under our very feet.

    Shortbread mining would create jobs and wealth.

    No brainer.

    So a recap on things as they stand;

    Loads of Tartan paint.
    Investment in haggis farming
    Sell all bowler hats to the Nigels
    Send the Protestant population to NI
    Send the Catholic population to NI

    Sounds like a plan :D

    With the behaviour of the Condem Party recently it wouldn't surprise me if Cameron is well aware of this and wants to cut us off
