Escobarp Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Public spending 30% per head more than in England I read yesterday. And that’s before planned increases to spending. We’ve had a council tax freeze again as well. Someone is paying for it all that’s for sure. on that note my fucking tooth snapped earlier. Be a costly visit of about £60 for a crown or bridge 😎.

And they may pay more at the dentist North Sea generated about 700mil I think in tax revenues in 19/20. Uk takes in c800bn I think . So it’s a “drop in the ocean” in reality. I may be mistaken though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that’s where taxes are set. And by the government of said country. I just don’t think it’s as cut and dried as we give them more than they give us. That’s a decidedly narrow view of our unique situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a decidedly narrow view of our unique situation. The oil and gas fields were developed by the UK in conjunction with companies. If the Scottish expect to receive revenues as you describe, then perhaps the rest of the uk would look for compensation for the infrastructure and exploration costs that were invested in as a whole. Your right- it would be complicated. Thrown in a move away from ICE vehicles and a ban soon then revenues are only heading in one direction.

Its just a leverage conversation as usual. Which, based on their “more out than putting in” situation has served them very well thus far. They won’t leave.

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted May 11, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2021 Some Scots love to pap on about oil, but they are missing the environmental point, gas and oil requirements are going to die away year on year from their/our European buyers.
