This is Project Fear from some anti-Scexit moaner.
Once freed from the UK's shackles, Scotland will prosper once again ;-)

Well well well, I wouldn't trust you about environment ;-)

Thank goodness - only a few days to go and we can all get the **** on with our lives. There are signs of life already. I'm selling some property - and we've had more interest since the General Election result than all of last year. Confidence is returning, and businesses are picking-up. Perhaps we'll also regain our collective sanity and humour...!

Well it doesn't hurt to fantasize ....

Fly Airpt; au contraire, I am a supporter of Scottish Independence but I can count and anybody who scrutinises the SNP's projections for earnings from oil & gas in a world of declining carbon fuel reliance realises that they are fantasy figures. Even if there was going to be an increase in demand the ageing fields would demand increased fracking to recover their maximum capacity but this has a finite limit and without significant new exploration and development then the end result will only end in a reduction of supply.

Your quote regarding the 2019 High Court decision applies to onshore fracking only. Due to the geography of the UK mainland being different to the geography of the North Sea seabed there have been no issues with offshore fracking hence why it is still allowed.

According to Cornish Jack's electoral calculations Scotland did not vote to stay in the EU despite Nicola's 'settled will of the people of Scotland.

Out of an electorate of 3,987,112 a total of 1,661,191 voted to remain. That's just over 41% which is nowhere near a majority.

Any projections related to independence from a Union include a part of fantasy. And the UK should know ;-)
Oil and gas are not the sole resource of Scotland.
It has fisheries, fresh water, electricity, navy class shipyards, air and naval bases, which can help escaping the clutches of the UK.

Fisheries - with declining fish stocks.

Fresh water - lots of that.

Electricity - Will need all of the power generated by renewable sources when the coal, oil, gas are turned off and the last 2 reactors are decommissioned (the SNP Government have stated that they want to go 100% renewables and are anti carbon emiting and nuclear power stations).

Shipyards - That are kept in business primarily from UK Government RN contracts.

Naval and air bases - How are they resources?

Interesting to see the "change in stance" in that unlike the previous government that spent most of the time going to the EU for meetings, the first meeting with the new head saw her coming here.

Well that’s because the current mob actually want to leave . Mays gang were to scared to fart without an Eu sign off

I wouldn't read too much into that. Don't buy the Boris fantasy that the EU needs the UK more than the UK needs the EU.

Ursula gave a speech at the LSE, so i wouldn"t read too much into it...

Yes, you really are new here.

Some delicious foot-stomping in the wake of the Brexit bill passing The Commons today.

What a terrible shame for them that their views are now utterly irrelevant and we are leaving regardless of what they think. Glorious.

Fine words butter no parsnips f_n_f .... or as you said yourself ....

But what he says is true, we are net contributers.
It may have been gone through many times in this thread but you could say that about 99% of posts in here.
So apart from simply taking the opportunity to cast another snidey comment, what's your point?

You seem to be an avid student of Lord Haw Haw with your adaption of his style of communication.....

OTOH quite a few contributors have disappeared and I suspect reappeared with different handles I suspect.

I'd be interested in what you find factually wrong. 330 votes to 231 in The Commons. Boris has an iron grip on both the house and his own party. It has been made clear to Conservative MPs that dissent will not be tolerated (Boris' decision to expel the rebels from the party in the last Parliament looks a masterstroke now). Other political parties have been rendered irrelevant. We ARE leaving and there's nothing those who disagree can do beyond wailing about the injustice of it all. It is simply wonderful.

I'm pretty sure that you're well aware that the UK is a nation committed to democratic values including free speech and the right to peaceful demonstration
What a terrible shame for them that their views are now utterly irrelevant and we are leaving regardless of what they think. Glorious.
The most pertinent observation on contributions to 'discussion' forums is that, like fundamental orifices, everybody has an opinion ... with the rider that, what issues forth is distasteful and of reduced value.
The enthusiasm with which a corrupt election result is embraced, in the desperate search of a minority to force the rest of the nation into dogmatic Chauvinism, makes the 'electoral processes' of such as Russia and China seem quite open-handed! At least in those regimes, the 'customers' are aware that they are being screwed - here we accept, indeed, even welcome. the misinterpretation of the popular will and, as some would have it, enjoy the process!

I never said there was anything factually wrong. All I did was note your emulation of his gloating style of communication.

Not for the first time however, and noted by several other posters, your enthusiasm for a totalitarian Gov't continues unabated with the rest of your post. ....the correlation with Lord Haw Haw being now well established .

As I've said before, the current Gov't is Tory in name only. I've never made any secret of being a socialist and Labour supporter, but, this Gov't is in no way representative of a genuine Tory Gov't. They are as far apart from the core principles of such that it's possible to be....and, as such, this does not auger well for millions in the UK of all political hues.
