Get H_B telt, he appears to think that the education sector provides some sort of guarantee of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Never mind the money. Get H_B telt, he appears to think that the education sector provides some sort of guarantee of a job. Not the education sector - but teachers. Once a teacher has a role, it's a role for life. It's virtually impossible to remove a teacher, even if their performance is abysmal.

Todders Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 300 North Sea BP jobs to go, confirmed, not good That can't be true. Wasn't the oil industry supposed to be safe if we voted to stay in the union? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbs Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 That can't be true. Wasn't the oil industry supposed to be safe if we voted to stay in the union?. I thought it was going to boom after the oil fields kept secret during the referendum were going to be announced . Remember when any mention of problems in the oil fields was treated as scaremongering, project fear stuff . So this 'extra' of having oil; how much in the black was it going to put an iScotland at the conservative price in the White Paper? Anyone?

So this 'extra' of having oil; how much in the black was it going to put an iScotland at the conservative price in the White Paper? Anyone? Why would anybody bring new fields online when prices are so low (thus increasing supply and surpressing prices even further) when they can sit on them and begin extraction when the price has recovered? The wise thing to do right now would be to use some of the hundreds of billions that NS oil has contributed to the UK economy over the years to incentivise exploration activity so that when the price does recover the industry is well placed to capitalise on it.

HaikuHibee Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 So the Oil price falls, and there's all this deflation. Quite a 'wee' resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone? Such figures have proved a major bone of contention. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has predicted recoverable reserves of 10bn boe and North Sea tax revenues of £61.6bn between now and 2040. The Office for National Statistics put the worth of untapped reserves to the UK Treasury at closer to £120bn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maicoman Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Fracking/shale oil is only viable if oils over 60 usd,ive noticed thats never been mentioned Came across a thread last night on a motorbike website...someone's brother-in-law is a senior accountant working for Mobil in Paris...He said that the Saudi's are pushing the price low to make Fracking financially unviable. Click into KTM Forum, then go to General Discussion...it is interesting reading, there seems to be an anti Scottishness creeping in from south of the border. Feel free to start another thread after reading this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
