Yes, because of course there isn't poverty in Dubai :rolleyes:

It's just so casually and blatantly offensively inaccurate as to be self-discrediting. The notion that somehow oil money has created a utopia in the UAE, where the overwhelming proceeds of their oil extraction has helped to finance expensive developments of cities with residential property accessible mostly to people who watch a promotional video featuring Michael Owen in a fake helicopter, but that Scotland has somehow not benefited from the discovery and extraction of oil from the North Sea is obviously absurd.

The picture isn't stereotyping nations. It's merely misrepresenting the economic conditions in their respective areas.

The salient point being, not nearly as much as it should have.

I cant think of anything more depressing than morons like Salmond, Galloway and Sheridan looking all smug after breaking up the union so nothing other than a resounding NO will do

Galloway is a staunch unionist.
