I stopped wondering a long time ago

I've just started again. It was seeing Cameron on TV just now saying that Scotland would only be a viable proposition for inward investment for its planned energy production facilities, if it remained part of the Union. It seems to me that they Tories, in particular, are getting a bit to desperate to keep us thirled to Westminster.

If Scotland became independent then England would have to re-negotiate its place in Europe and have to change its status in the United Nations (dropping out of the Security Council) and would no longer be able to pretend it is a world power.
That's one of the reasons power hungry people like Cameron, Blair and Brown don't want Scotland to have its independence.

Recent polls seem to suggest that independence for Scotland is even more popular in England than it is north of the border.
If there was Uk-wide referendum, The result would be more like ejection than independence

weve bailed your banks out
Maybe you should take a look at how many of the oil rigs are actually within UK territorial waters.
I stand to be corrected but........
In the volume stakes most of the rigs off England are small and unmanned with the gas being producted on a steady and steep decine. Thus the increase in wholesale prices and the increased import from overseas.
Yes there maybe less rigs north but they are large production units drawing far larger volume and quality. With the North sea a hostile enviroment the skills base and service support in UK with the Eastcoast of Scotland being a world epicentre this will keep production going long enough.
I am sure Andy T and the others in the industry can elabourate.
