Thatcher was a god send for the unions, it gave them someone to blame for everything whilst ignoring the winter of our discontent, collapse in the British automotive industry and the real reason why the trains were privatised, even though she wasn't there or responsible for some of those periods. They were as much as responsible for their own downfall as anyone else.
This is a very loaded argument that has worked well for the snp and it's supporters but is the equivalent of skimming a book and picking out the best bits to suit your advantage I'm sure you can find multiple different soources but I'm going to use this one as it covers all so will be using the same equasions for all We could be as rich as the Norwegians is the usual snp cry but it hides a few things, the Norwegians lift up nearly twice as much oil as the U.K. and their revenues are shared between 5.3 Nords and the U.K. with nearly half as much oil lifted, is shared between 66 million. This gives oil production per capita for Norway as 313,661 per day and oil production per capita for the U.K. as 14,284. Quite a difference when you say Norway does better with its oil than the U.K. but forget to mention they lift far more and shared between 60 million less https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_production
hmm, go back to wiki the month before the next reff, tell me if the figures change. i could hunt out camoron saying the same if you like The UK and Norway both began offshore exploration and production in the mid-1960s with the first oil discoveries made in 1969. Since then, both countries have produced similar amounts of hydrocarbons: the UK has produced 42.8 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) and Norway 40 billion boe. https://wingsoverscotland.com/the-squandered-bounty/
Lets say yours is right fin because wings always is What you have just pointed out is Norways oil is shared between 5.3 million and the U.K.'s is shared by 66 million. For the snp that figure means, see Scotland could have had a good life whilst ignoring it is a resource of the whole of the U.K. which is a 66 million population and the oil has NEVER been Scotlands only because it isn't. It's like saying, Cornwall would be rolling in clotted cream as long as no burmese were involved, A true Diane Abicus methodology if ever there was one. You crazy guys and your italian arithmatics
Come on, all they need is a house and some money. https://news.sky.com/story/group-of-migrants-found-in-thames-cargo-ship-sky-sources-say-11588206
all this assumes its shared between 66mill, its not. all that assumes the two are comparable, they are not. the Norwegian oil sector is mostly state owned and collects its tax appropriately. the uk sector is privately owned and given tax breaks. predictably. as is always the case with the uk, the assets are sold for the benefit of?
in an off hand way yes, i guess you could say that. the uk rewards greed to the detriment of the majority, the majority get a lil pissed off, the uk gov say its unavoidable, the majority start looking for reasons and somewhere to point the finger, immigration-EU-Vote Leave-Weaker EU-Stronger Russia.
Hey, I got it right and all I had to do was stick an icepick through my left ear. I'll do the right ear next and be totally cool with Remain then!
does a weaker uk and EU benefit or hinder Putin? (just roll with it loz), i found yer tin hat rolling around after i destroyed yer last conspiracy, just trying it on fer size. ,
Dude, you're delusional and I love it. A weak EU benefits Putin and since that is the only kind of EU we are going to get, I suggest we leave the EU pronto. I should not have to explain this stuff to you, finderman. Goat's sake!
This is how it stands today. Vote Remain in the EU created a poll. 18 December at 20:17 · Right let's do a poll....see what people think about a few things. First.. IF there was a second referendum for our EU membership, knowing everything we know now, which way WOULD you vote.. 63%Leave 37%Remain This poll ends in 2 days Undo Vote 137.4K Votes
Now this is interesting, no honestly During the campaign, vlad never rung me, sent me leaflets, flooded most of the tv channels I watch, threatened me with millions unemployed or turning from the 5th richest economy to Botswana doing a live aid concert to help the U.K.. My own government did, my own media did, my own business elite did. I don't have any social media accounts so I must have missed the millions of messages Vlad is supposed to have contacted me on, not even a christmas card, selfish arse he is. Does it help vlad to have an unstable eu, probably so the obvious answer surely is the eu comission and project to make sure the eu is stable but on that, they are doing shit. It's not just the U.K., througout europe there are the far right growing, governments are becoming more inept and yet again, the eu continues to say they are the model for europe. If vlad is thinking haha, it's more he's laughing at the continual arrogance of the eu commission and refusal to see it is in trouble.
Protests in Spain, Portugal, Belgium, France, Hungary and Germany that I know of, Not quite the bastion of solidarity.
oh to be a fly on the wall of all those meetings with the far right party's the uk was conducting in the run up to 2014. anyhoo, you break it, we will rebuild it. all good. or more likely join EFTA, its a fair compromise. btw, i wasn't talking about you lot brw, your fucked.
