But by this time next year it is likely they will be back online.<br /><br />No one denied that oil was a volatile asset, but what unionists tried to make pout was that the success of Scotland was dependent on high oil price.<br /><br />That was never the case. The economies of Scotland and the UK were more or less equal. Any oil income was a bonus. Not being constantly at war was a bonus and not having WMDs to replace was a further bonus.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-43934492565702845552015-01-09T21:11:19.906+00:002015-01-09T21:11:19.906+00:00The former who I believe is one of those who get h...The former who I believe is one of those who get her fee sent abroad so that they can then take out a loan as pay to save her burden of proper tax into this country.<br /><br />Independence like Integrity scares the shit out of their lifestyles.cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-72739272702665205562015-01-09T20:59:10.727+00:002015-01-09T20:59:10.727+00:00Adams is a liar.

I am still someone who favours PR and the feel that the Liberals missed a real opportunity 5 years ago to really force the Tory and Westminster hand on this. PR has to come along at some point, hopefully with a few revamp of candidate selection across the board. <br /><br />I tend to believe that results should be double checked when it comes to the calculations, I double check my work most of the time, esp. when it comes to things like funding so it isn't rocket science. Basically we are ill served at times and the system I feel doesn't help.<br /><br />Just my thoughts.<br /><br />BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-86746445584160035112015-01-08T21:00:21.222+00:002015-01-08T21:00:21.222+00:00Niko there is a new bridge across the Forth if you...Niko there is a new bridge across the Forth if your present abode is to small.cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-5844555823298240672015-01-08T20:27:59.751+00:002015-01-08T20:27:59.751+00:00Well... would you?
