    Lots of people like Scotland, I don't think it's limited to dictators. There's something about a very small nation punching above it's weight that is quite endearing, I think. :cool:

    Too true, I love Scotland and I'm not a dictator.




    Yet. . .

    Well, I am not really sure either way myself as well.



    Well, I still don't see how Scotland directly benefits from these deal imho. They may keep a few refineries going, but how much is that worth to the economy? Seems to me that England will get the most out of the deal, as opposed to Scotland. If the Scots, did this for the oil, they must have gotten a lot more from Brown to take the risk they are taking.

    I think the UK is the ultimate winner (or just not the ultimate loser behind the Chinese or the Russians) from any deal, not just England...and given how Scotland is a net benefactor from the UK tax stream despite devolvement, it ultimately benfits from any increased income.
    It's pretty tenuous admittedly and probably belongs in CT, but I just don't see this whole debacle being undertaken solely in the name of justice or mercy myself.

    Not worth pissing on even if they were on fire!

    To be fair now, they'd be worth pissing on if they weren't on fire.
