You missed out the bit about how Spar were initially funded by a Labour administration and how they only employ people who have links to the Labour party.

Burma Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Scotland - The only country to discover oil and subsequently get poorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_mcshug Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Something that doesnt stack up for me is that we are being told that Scotland is being subsidised by the RofUK and that oil revenues are going to continue to decline. If true, why would the RofUK not be taking this opportunity to break ties with Scotland as the 'subsidy' is only going to get bigger and bigger?

Thundermonkey Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 By not contesting the referendum. Shrugging it's shoulders and using every trick in the book to influence a Yes vote. Obvious really. Of course, they are not doing that because the fear of losing control of the oil revenues chills them to their very core. That's why we have seen the half hearted, half arsed attempts to scare us/woo us so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
