Wee Eck is going to ship them all down to the Lake District where they belong. A few stray ICBM's just might find their way heading to Downing Street and Lord Snooty Cameron......

I haven't yet heard anything concrete about what will happen to the massive debt the UK is carrying. Presumably an independent Scotland would take on its share according to its percentage of the UK population, anyone know the answer.

Secondly, it is well known that per head of population Scotland receives a good bit more in terms of spending than the English. Am I right in thinking that with independence all funding would be curtailed ?

Finally, whenever did North Sea oil become Scottish oil ?
All fields are well offshore, outside the UK 12 mile limit recognized in fishing parlance as international waters. Oil is merely piped ashore to the nearest convenient part of the UK which happens to be in Scotland, as well as the infrastructure being based conveniently close in Aberdeen which has done very very well out of the oil industry.
Was it wholly owned Scottish companies that put up all the initial funding to facilitate oil production or were they UK companies ?

 

[tamz]

The debt would be shared per capita.

Contrary to popular belief south of the border, Scotland contributes more than it gets back.

The 12 nm limit is territorial waters. The oil fields lie in what is called an Exclusive Economic Zone which extends to 200nm.
Scotlands geographical share of oil production is over 90% and around 58% for gas.

The oil fields were privately funded with the uk collecting from licensing and taxes. It is irrelevant who owns the platforms or pipelines.

 

[Dotty]

Was that the sound of someone shooting himself in the foot?
