Salmonds plan A would have gone totaly **** up then

Or if the SNP facts were right the UK is going to have to find circa 22% of its income when the oil goes.

Geezer

An economy the size of the UK will feel less pain than Scotland would have.

If it was 22% of the whole UK economy, imagine how much it would have been of the Scottish one.

More pish and scaremongering from the media TBH. Oil has been wayyy cheaper than it is now and everything has operated as normal.

Would it be wrong to assume that the cost of exploration and extraction have risen considerably since then, squeezing margins further what with the price of oil as it currently stands and thus affecting the sustainability/viability of the North Sea oil industry?

Russia is also feeling it.

Another multi-national,multi-billion dollar industry complaining & moaning the instant it looks like they won't make even more money than before.You can imagine the board-room conversations 'Oh dear it will be a tough Christmas this year.I only made £10 million instead of £15 million'.

They have been raking in the the wealth at the expense of the consumer for years.
If massive money making concerns don't cover themselves for these situations
then I don't have any sympathy.
