So you think the oil price will have gone up sufficiently by 2016 for the
SNP to wheel out its knackered economic policy once more and for people to be
dumb enough to fall for it?

Lets face it , Scotland has to suck from the teet of somewhere, be it
Westminster or Brussels because it doesn't have much of an economy to speak
of. Its half that of yourshire FFS. The SNP knows this which is why its so
pro EU because once its waved bye bye to westminster and the hand outs stop
it'll need Brussels to provide the money. Of course the privosos that will
come with it will be far worse than Westminster would ever ask for but by
then Salmond and Sturgeon will be doing the after dinner circuit basking in
their self righteousnous and won't give a ****.

As Orwell wrote in a different context, Scotland is no more capable of
being independent than a cat or a dog. I am not hostile to the people,
but they are being led.

The cat analogy is probably quite good. Has the pretence of independence until
its meal time, when its back at the bowl looking mournful and waiting for the
handout.
