  • @dceht, WELL DONE!.

    You've just proven that Scotland by far subsidises the rest of the UK.

    If oil from the North Sea contributes 14.1% of UK taxes, and Scotlands Territorial waters hold 90% of the UK oil resources, then 90% of 14.1 = 12.6% of UK taxes from Scottish oil fields. Agreed, yes?

    Since Scotland is only 9% of the UK population, you have a stuation that 9% Scotland supplies 12.6% of the taxes raised. [and that's only oil taxes]

    Well done,remember to tell all the Unionist that!

  • England owns none of the equipment, Scotland owns none of the equipment.

    BP, Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon, etc own the equipment.

    Whichever country's teritorial waters the equipment is situated in, those companies pay a licence fee to that country, which is UK just now. THe oil companies extract the oil, the country puts duty and tax on the product each company sells.

    So if BP sell 1000 litres of unleaded, the Scottish government collects whatever duty and taxes that were imposed on that product.

    Oh!" I'm so sorry but; i always thought the waging of war to

    be moronic,waging an illegal war to be even more moronic

    but then, I'm not English. am I?

  • @ugizzat

    English morons? How kind of you, glad to see you have an open mind. (NOT) 

  • @RonSuperJet

    Dont write such twaddle. The Scots did not vote Labour into power

    the English morons did that. MY party, the SNP, voted against the

    war reflecting the opinion of most Scots.The warmongering UK was

    dying to kick the crap out of a country it KNEW was militarily weaker

    than it .This has been an English practice for years, beating up on the

    little guy and, being very proud while doing it. Still, Its always good for

    a "victory" parade and more wreaths on the Cenotaph.

  • @ugizzat

    Oh! The Iraq war with the Labour government and Tony Blair (A Scot) and funded by Gordon Brown (A Scot), the one that the English didn’t want but were forced into by Scots.

    Over simplistic? Maybe but isn’t that the same as the separatists arguments, not fully thought through.

  • @GmanKings =)

  • suit yourselves its your choice not mine... hope your happy with what you choose

  • It fair warms the cockles of my heart to see that the SNPs greatest

    ally, David Cameron, WESTMINISTER TORY PRIME MINISTER is

    getting embroiled in the Independence debate.He will be up against

    the greatest Political orator and debater in either of the Paraliments

    be it Holyrood or Westminister.The Scottish DETEST the TORIES

    and for good reason and when Cameron starts to dictate, which he

    will, then the proverbial will hit the fan.He is the SNPs best asset in

    the Independence debate.

  • @GmanKings

    Yeah? Well then tell me the difference bwtween the Nazis bombing and

    invading Poland on the pretext that Poland posed a threat to Germanys

    safety and security and what the UK did to Iraq on much the same pretext.

    Remember Poland and Germany shared a common border.Where is that

    common border between the UK and Iraq? Most Scots were against the

    Iraqi war but their views were ignored .Who Dictated to whome on that

    occassion? Choke on your vomit, I'll opt for Independence!

  • @chancergordy oil runs out and with greedy gets like you it will be sooner rather than later if you leave UK it will be at our governments choosing not yours you stupid nationalist you all need to get on with your lives and grow up.

  • @chancergordy get a life you stupid racist. if you like scotland so much stay there. the conservative aren't the best put we're stuck with them. oh don't say pounds you'll be stuck with euro soon enough
