Because he needs the income from Scotland. And all his mates need the oil contracts.

Hang it from the lamp-post!  Or send it to plough (yj) on a collective farm.

Probably nothing more than speculative propaganda.

I don't think it would be tenderised significantly by hanging TBH

Don't get us started on the oil, Nigel, or we'll never be done. In the last few weeks we've been told:
  • The oil is running out, and this is a disaster for the Yes campaign.
  • The oil is running out, and this is a disaster for the No campaign.
  • The oil isn't running out, and this is a disaster for the Yes campaign.
  • The oil isn't running out, and this is a disaster for the No campaign.
  • There are vast untapped oil reserves yet to be exploited and this is great for the UK.
  • There are vast untapped oil reserves yet to be exploited and this is a complete and utter disaster for an independent Scotland because we won't be able to cope with it.
As far as I can see, we've got a great source of renewable energy in the form of hot air blasting from both camps.

I wouldn't mind someone explaining why they think the Pound is a UK asset and should be shared between both countries but the oil only belongs to Scotland.

It's the law.

Quote: 

Given that Scotland is not a sovereign state, it has no effective maritime boundaries; and any claims Scotland may assert are subsumed as part of claims made by the United Kingdom. It could be argued that there is no definitive 'Scottish' sector of the North Sea in the same way there isn't a Norwegian sector or a Danish sector, or indeed a UK sector. However due to the existence of two separate legal systems in Great Britain — that of Scots law pertaining to Scotland and English law pertaining to England and Wales, constitutional law in the United Kingdom has provided for the division of the UK sector of the North Sea into specific Scottish and English components.[5] The Continental Shelf Act 1964 and the Continental Shelf (Jurisdiction) Order 1968 defines the UK North Sea maritime area to the north of latitude 55 degrees north as being under the jurisdiction of Scots law[6] meaning that 90% of the UK's oil resources were under Scottish jurisdiction.[7][8] In addition, section 126 of the Scotland Act 1998 defines Scottish waters as the internal waters and territorial sea of the United Kingdom as are adjacent to Scotland.[9] This has been subsequently amended by the Scottish Adjacent Waters Boundary Order 1999 which redefined the extent of Scottish waters and Scottish fishery limits.[10][11]

Using the pound in a currency union is their preferred option simply because it works better for both parties. Scotland gets a stable, well-backed currency with debt capacity and the UK gets Scotland to pay its share of that debt. It's not like they'd demanding we share it, just that it'd be *fucking idiotic* of the UK to refuse.

I really don't care about the oil. And it's not because I no longer live in the United Kingdom of Dogshit.

I do find it sad that I wasn't given the opportunity to vote 'YES FUCKING PLEASE' to 'Scottish Independence' years ago. And even now it's being played out like the Scots' right to leave rather than the English right to get rid of the whinging twats.

I think the loss of oil revenue would be a small price to pay, if only to shut that cunt Salmond up.

But that's life all over, innit?

It's possible that you're not as clever, or perceptive, as you think you are.
