People keep banging on about the oil in Scotland they don't own the rights to it. A lot of the oil is piped into England for processing. So they have the whiskey and tourism.

 

Only a fool would vote to leave the uk.

In some ways I agree with the fool part in voting to leave the UK although a good few of my friends and work collages did but that was there choice but I wont call them foolish. there were far to many answered questions then and even more now.

 

With regard to the oil from the north sea a lot of it is processed in English & Welsh refinery's but the vast majority comes into Grangemouth (Kinnel terminal) and then shipped elsewhere some even goes to oil ports in Europe for processing. The tax revenue for oil & gas is calculated on the total measured flow as it leaves the various oil & gas platforms.

Could the north sea be split north & south, I doubt it. The oil company's have the licence to drill and produce granted by the UK government and therefore taxed by the exchequer, there is also a whopping tax added to whisky that the government whoever it may be rely wont want to lose.

 

Could Scotland go it alone, I dont think so but unfortunately 1000`s do and that is democracy as has been said many times on this topic and others around the the leave/stay vote.

 

For those of us who did not vote for the SNP we are stuck between a rock and a hard place. There is not enough of strong opposition in Scotland to challenge them unfortunately, its a bit like when the Conservatives had the high ground in the 80`s & early 90`s and Labor struggled to oust them and then the tables turned.

 

We can all get excited and emotional about our own nationalism but please don`t turn it into a bitterness or hatred for each other

I hope there is a big difference between politics and people. Behind all the rhetoric are mostly good people all looking for the same thing in life.

But if scot land join Europe, does the oil in their territorial watesr automatically become the property of Europe to offset their net deficit? Can 'o worms..

Here is a different approach why don't we have a referendum in England to see if we want Scotland with us.

I wholeheartedly agree! But unfortunately all decent Scottish people will be judged by and suffer any consequences from their choice of political leadership.

I'm a big fan of democracy and if Scotland opt to leave UK and jump into abyss then I admire their courage, I for one wouldn't miss paying for their benefits bill, but does anyone who isn't suffering from a life changing brain injury really beleive what Jimmy Krankies ugly sister says about anything? ...
