@ianbetteridge @BashStKid What is often forgotten is that before the oil started to flow the British government went cap in hand to the IMF for a bailout.
The UK was bankrupt.
And as we see oil diminishing both in supply and demand the economy has not changed significantly, so we can expect the UK to be bankrupt again when the oil and gas is finished.
And that is why they will do everything legal & illegal, moral and immoral to prevent Scotland becoming independent.
