Read some facts about your oil fund proposal. You won't be back here touting that line if you knew the truth.

The only sticky point with Oil is the cost of decommissioning.

I'm fully expecting the UK to pay it's oil revenue % share of that cost when it arrives.

No, although there were elements of it which persuaded the bulk of the UK to vote for Brexit. The UK had effectively opted out of the "Ever closer union" thing, does not belong to Schengen nor to the Eurozone. Scotland would have no such deal should it ever join the EU, Scotland would be adsorbed in a way that would never happen in the UK. Already there are pushes to have EU controls over what are now national taxes (corporation tax for example) and even for direct taxes on the population by the EU itself.

How do you know what deal Scotland would have if it ever joined the EU ... are you EU minister for Scottish talks ?

We can suggest and we can suppose but no one here can fully know ... just like no one here fully knows what Brexit means ... except of course it means Brexit which May has already stated

Not an argument. Scotland can look after itself, and the SNP are a good and trustworthy government, right?

Stop harping on about the UK when you're backed into a corner. Scotland should have better services, they're paid more per head than anywhere else in the country. Which an independent Scotland wouldn't be able to afford.

So instead of answering the question cause you know Scotland's NHS is in a better nick you turn the tables round and go on about it not meaning we can run a country ourselves ... good job we don't trust you to be our spokesman ain't it

And incidentally I was referring to the post above that was trying unsuccessfully to slate the SNHS whilst ignoring the NHS situation elsewhere in the UK

Mmmmm nope. Look again, it's in the same document I posted about the border effect.

Nope, talking about the UK as a response to a question about iScotland is not an argument.

Try harder.

Some chance.
Yet another opportunity to prove this wrong:

They resort to deceit or, if you're really lucky, just distraction.
Whatever it takes to get their divisive POV heard.

Which if they can't answer is exactly what the response is.

There's an awful lot of whataboutery going on

I think the Scottish public would think them stupid if they revealed their plans at this stage. All will be revealed before anything is decided.

Quick enough to make noise about Brexit. You can't have it both ways. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I've no idea what document you posted and when. All I can see is you just disagreeing which means nothing to a potential voter considering you're only looking out for what's best for England.

Decommissioning is a cost to the oil companies. Nothing to do with the UK.
