HaikuHibee Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 So this bonus of 'oil' - how much would it have put iScot in the black( ) Around Three billion. It's still pretty valuable. People still buy the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are exclusively revealing that oil would mean we wouldn't have been running with a deficit in iScotland are you. Wow no even the SNP were claiming that one, did you not pick up on the wee clues that were there - all your buddys avoided this question for a reason. The plan was still to run in the red, there was no 'bonus' in the iScot economy, but again this massive detail was beyond you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK has a massive deficit, of course we wouldn't be leaving that in the black on day one. The argument has always been whether or not Scotland would be in a better position to manage its deficit and return to sound financial footing in the long term. I'm sure you don't happen to think it would but given you don't seem to realise the UK has a deficit, forgive me if I don't give a shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can pinpoint me stating, or even inferring, that the UK does not have a deficit that would be helpful. I can't help it if he can't answer a simple question; perhaps you should take that up with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaikuHibee Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I did answer it. Your shouting "Oil is worthless". You're a moron dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbs Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I did answer it. Your shouting "Oil is worthless". You're a moron dude. Right then, even your pals are leaving you out swinging alone with this one. You answered a question; just not the one I asked or indeed the one you think you did . Just in case you like banging your head against a wall, the question was ' if oil is an extra, how much in the black would this have put iScot in'. And if you can highlight where I said 'oil is worthless' and thus prove its not just a figment of your imagination (at your level at least you have something), that would be great.

HaikuHibee Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 So if we don't have the figures how were they able to come to the conclusion that oil is extra? If Oil is reserved, Scotland spends what it raises. Oil tax is extra. And if you can highlight where I said 'oil is worthless' and thus prove its not just a figment of your imagination (at your level at least you have something), that would be great. So what's your point then? You think we would be bankrupt, because we have oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC90 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Can't wait for the price of oil to reach nearly 200 per barrel. London will be in for some shiney new infrastructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
