Nope, England is a net importer of oil and gas. Scotland produces an abundance of both to meet our needs even with the decline of North sea production . Just wait until the west coast and Atlantic fields open up...Kerrrrfùckingching!
Scotland is self sustaining in oil and gas because our power generation is pretty much based on renewable energy. World leader doncha know! Still, we have the largest oil and gas deposits in Europe lying off our North West Coast. I suppose we could just leave them there and live off the remaining North sea deposits for the next 30 years or so. Decisions decisions.
Norway have more reserves. By the way, oil is going out of fashion, its all cycles now and electric cars* * that needs electricity made from fossil fuels and a bit of wind** ** if its windy
This thread should be renamed 'flogging the one trick pony'. I reckon he's just kinky and gets turned on by being shown as ignorant.
You are a xenophobe. We are not ruled by another nation. I am not a racist. Scots are not a race. You are myopic, you can not explain how the new nation gets off the ground, biggest deficit in western Europe due to SNP policy.
Only the SNP have been proven to have sent patients into care homes AFTER they've tested positive for CV19. Boris ****ed up sending OAPs to care homes without testing them (as far as we know) but ONLY the SNP sent patients WITH covid to care homes. You were not the first to criticise Govt policy, you were too bust *****ing the CelGers thread. If you think it's a ****show just now then wait till The Party gets in full time
I've got to say abuse aside I struggle to see how the economy will boom if independent. Theres a good tourist industry that's built up but that's nowhere near enough to compensate the loss of oil revenue in 20/30 tears time !
The scotch make loads of stuff which they export: Scottish whiskey Shortbread Tunnocks teacakes Oatcakes Scotch video cassettes Kilts Grand Theft Auto etc
****ing superb shortbread I've got to say . I'd like to be able to drink some of The Malt whiskey but just not my thing . Only whiskey I can really drink is a jack Daniel's Holiday select .
At least we make stuff. England is wan big call centre except London. That's the world's biggest tax haven and stabby Darkie enclosure.
Mini Nessie's and little Tartan dolls and other sundry tourist tat, which aren't largely exported as they're mainly sold to thick Glaswegians and Scottish Nationalists.
A rehash of a Mike Harding story. Americans on a See Britain in a day trip end up in Edinburgh to experience life in the 14th Century. They spy a little old man rolling pellets in his hand and ask him what he's doing. "I'm making learning pills, they make you right clever' he says. So the Yank hands over his cash, and shoves a load in his mouth as instructed. "Aaargh, that's sheep ****" says the Yank. "Aye, see, you're learning" says the old fella.
Scotland's biggest export has always been people, which says something about the quality of life. Sadly, even this export is getting exploited now. please log in to view this image
After Independence and Scotland ridding itself of the nuclear White elephant the west coast and Atlantic oil fields will be opened up. Oban will be the Dubai of the North. Unfortunately Aberdeen will be a ghost town though. Fit only for washed up lonely Old nonces called Drew.
