There were figures released at the weekend about how the value of the O&G should have been £11.2billion in 2018/2019 alone and they are now forecasting it to be only around £4.2billion from now until then... thats a big chunk of missing dolla!

did i hear that Scotlands Independent budget deficit would be bigger than Greece given current oil price / revenue unable to prop up the gap? how would we enter the EU then - would they let us in like that?? massive cuts in spending = massive job losses in Scotland as Scotland has a higher % of employment in public services than the rest of the UK (IIRC)
this is real question i'm trying to ask here not some proUK stance.
