I know the unionist press would have you believe we're some pathetic basket case that uniquely can't exist without another nation taking us under their wing, but it's shite. I would disagree with that. But answer me this - why did the Yes campaign make such a big deal of the oil income then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I'm not the YES campaign, I didn't even live here at the time. But do go on, you disagree, but with which bit - is Scotland a pathetic basket case that can't exist without England looking after us or are we a third world country with zero to offer?

Along with renewable energy, food and drink, tourism (especially ancient and new sovereign status). The people above everything else, is what will rebuild Scotland. Especially when we're a new state with EU membership and access to the rUK market. Yes, plenty of new investment coming to Scotland and with our territory boundary Nato will say welcome, which will also give England a huge sigh of relief. And with the Fisher people well and truly fecked again by WM, what exactly have they now got to be resistant to independence. Feck what exactly does an independent Scotland have to cause fear in anyone. Sovereignty, tick Taking back control, tick Full access to both our biggest trading markets, tick. What else do we need, that's right, currency. Well... President Sturgeon on the new Scottish Euro will be the final touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One trick pony or not, it should have had more money/subsidies flung at it, if the 17K admin type jobs in London for one of the majors is correct, there is no reason that Aberdeen couldn't have a sizable chunk of them located there. Apropos of nothing, never been to Ulsan, but old work has many contracts with one of the shipyards there and commercial people didn't come back after visits saying they wanted to live there...
