Tory minister says Scottish North Sea oil funding C.O.L

oh dear. ?The oil and gas produced in the North Sea is owned by private business. It was privatised forty years ago.

the oil and gas are in what is currently classed as the uk EEZ , which means the private companies own and extract it and are taxed for the privilege of doin so.Contrary to your either implication . if Scotland leaves , the uk EEZ no longer exists , and we know 96% of current oil fields for example will come under Scotland EEZ , which is currently two thirds of the current uk EEZ .

It will then be Scottish ministers , not Westminster english ministers , either issuing licences for private firms , or potentially like Norway nationalising oil and gas.

We know that. That isn't what you said earlier though was it when I had to correct your latest warbling...



you know when I had to inform you private business control it and pay for the means to use it. now you retreat , having accepted my correction , and litter the thread with more banal comments.


*80 % of North Sea oil and gas is currently being exported while uk citizens struggle to heat homes and fill cars , and the uk has extremely weak energy security . so what are you talking about you absolute crackpot?

It's the de facto English parliament as it always has been. 82% of the seats are English , which is set to increase slightly , and even in 1801 , when the Irish were admitted , despite the population of the uk then being 50 % English , 50 % Celtic , with the Irish alone having an electorate then the same size as Englands at the time , never at any point was representation 50 /50. so what are you talking about you crackpot?

  

 Christ you don't half love a moan. 

its explained above and self explanatory. I can write replies , I can't understand them for you.


we understand they are licensed by the uk government. your second post in the thread is what I clearly corrected you on , and now you attempt to mire the thread in your usual nonsense. It is currently uk oil , because it is currently in uk EEZ. are you with me so far ? If Scotland leaves , the current uk ceases to exist , and Scotland will take control of its own EEZ currently two thirds of the current uk EEZ and 96 % of current oil fields are Scottish , and 60 % of natural gas . 


Dont start crying about the messenger because you don't like the message. The uk is a net importer of oil and gas .It sells into the European markets , and regarding gas shut down all the old gas storage facilities over many years since the Blair regime . It doesn't need to , and your reply even states it makes lots of money selling into integrated European energy markets , which in turn leaves uk households vulnerable and at risk from lack of energy security. 

Now analysis of government data by Global Witness has shown that in the 20 years between 2004 and 2023 the UK awarded 1,680 licences to companies to extract oil and gas in the North Sea. The analysis found that the share of UK oil and gas that was exported between 2004 and 2022 rose from 60% to more than 80%. During the same period domestic oil production fell by 60%.

This comes against a complex background: the UK’s refinery capacity and its ability to handle its own fossil fuels has fallen sharply during that period.
 


are you now denying yet more reality , that the current `uk` parliament represents 82% English seats , and is set to rise further? That is the definition of a de facto English parliament.  



christ you really are that thick aren't you? this is a predominantly English forum. It's not friends reunited , nor am I on an English forum looking for comrades in support. Im here debating , and like reading your posts for a laugh. You might prefer standing in a darkened room with you mates getting a slap on the back every time you scream at yourself , but it's not my cuppa tea old china. im just shocked at the level of stupid in one person , and the constant whinging for mummy to protect you on an adult forum.

err......you were moaning about a guardian article and its contents , which you claimed was a mouthpiece for the eu and net zero , which is a British paper against scot indy. Now you are claiming it's a scot nat conspiracy theory?   dear christ above.





yet , you keep replying......  


if you are born in a stable it doesn't make you a horse , and he was elected by an English constituency , not a Scottish one. do keep up. 



hysterical conspiracy theory for ending the old unitary state , and starting devolution at the bequest of the C.O.E and the political prevailing winds . Whats your point caller?  


white power , we have a brown muslim first minister.......................? do you just think the first thing that comes into your tiny brain to throw muck about ?  


 
says the man who voted to end his country being a part of the EU and stick two fingers up to 450 million europeans? your hurt feelings and whinging make you look stupid in that context.   



well , you will have your hands full shortly when Sir Keir Starmer stands up for what is rightfully European , and returns you separatists  to being a north west outpost of our European Union .

that's ok. I accept your surrender rebirth. Run along.
