Don't start me about oil revenue, Scotland should be the Saudia Arabia of europe
Instead we paid for Englands 3 million unemployed for 20 years.

Not that the moderators ever listen, but when was the last time Oz or NZ were mentioned?

So, er, anyway, what about this East Timor oil thingy? Whose oil is it really? It's in Timorese territory but it was found with Oz technology or by Aussies or something. Where does that leave us?

Unfortunately, its too late to vote,
But completely agree, Scotland needs to get rid of the dead weight dragging it down (otherwise known as England). I'm sure England will be only to happy to let us go in about 20 years when all the oil revenue has gone.

Has he gone now, then? Phew. The scary thing is that this land is full of people opining disconnected stuff like that without even trying to join up the dots. Not that Oz lacks them either of course.
