    And thers something else to consider: Much of the remaining oil and gas reserves lie to the east and west of the Orkney and Shetland islands that are both strongly opposed to severing links with The Union. In fact both have said is scotland votes to leave, the will demand Independence from scotland and seek to rejoin the UK. And they will bring a large chunk of the remaining oil reserves with them.

    and another source:

    Who cares what Scotland thinks.

    Take away the subsidies it gets from Westminster and just see the Krankies come out of the woodwork.

    The only real democracy in Europe is Switzerland, where laws are only passed by public vote.

    You havent addressed or disproved anything ive posted nor the links provided in evidence.

    more links with more evidence

    2017: How much is North Sea oil worth to the Scottish economy? | The Scotsman

    North Sea oil and Gas production:




    Peak Oil has gone, 20 years ago, 2/3rds has been pumped, whats left isnt worth pumping at $50 a barrel

    Denmark is to stop pumping oil and gas by 2050, and wil lnot be issuing any more licences.
    Denmark makes ‘landmark decision’ to stop pumping oil and gas in North Sea

    Other countries are going to follow suite as the world moves out the fossil fuel era. I repeat, there is no pot of gold in oil for Scotland, just a couple of silver coins. The twenty or so links ive posted covering 2018 to today unanimously agree.
    serica energy and hurricane energy are active producers in scotland and the frigg and forties pipeline supply gas and oil from scottish formations. you arent even from england, because you think english north sea oil production is dead. only a moron would think that at this point.

    All the links ive posted, which clearly you havent read, say otherwise, the new concessions starting are on the few shallow fields left, which arent many. You arent going to get £18B revenue from oil as in the past, today its £726M, and thats a fact, Oil is not going to plug your £18B a year spending deficit, and neither is the EU going to cover it.

    The scottish economy is £170B of the UK's total £2.8T, less than 8%. Scotland has made a packet out of the UK in 300 years, had there been no union, you'd be on the same footing as Albania or Lesotho, countries of similar size and population.


    And then theres the pandemic. We are supporting almost 900,000 jobs in Scotland through the furlough and self-employed schemes and have loaned more than £2.3 billion to 65,000 Scottish businesses. This is on top of an extra £6.5 billion of funding for the Scottish Government. If you had gone indy, mate, you would be in dire straits by now without us.

    As the 5th largest economy, thats simply not true. Scotland, on the other hand, is spending £18B a year more than its collects,, which we cover. You clearly are going to be deeply in the shit, unless you engage in austerity like has ever been seen. You can wave bye bye to all the freebies straight away, such as prescriptions and and university education. And that will be just the start.

    The Scottish people get all manner of free stuff. Dental treatment - hospital car parking - Higher education - and much more. NOT available to the English but paid for by taxing the English.
    Sturgeon is as destructive for Scotland as Sadiq Khan is for London and he is destroying London in every aspect. I don't like the phrase "Londonistan" but in truth it is very apt.
