The SNP : FFA / OIL Revenue Sham Exposed At Last : The Dream Is Dead
The SNP Scottish government has now at last admitted and lowered its estimates over how much revenues will be generated fromNorth Sea oil and gas. The oil and gas bulletin, which laid out five scenarios, saidtotal receipts could be as small as£2.4bn or as high as £10.8bn between 2015/16 and 2019/20.
The best case scenario of £10.8bn is far worse than the gloomiest SNP forecast published last year.
Full fiscal autonomy
Clearly the figures have blownthe SNP's policy of full fiscal autonomy out of the water and holed them beneath the water line, whats worse is the Scottish government tried to "sneak the report out on the last day of parliament".
Last week the SNP trooped through the westminster lobbies with the extreme right wing of the Tory party to vote for full fiscal autonomy. It is as clear as day now that they knew the policy would be a disaster for Scotland - the SNP government's own figures prove it so why did they team up with right wing tories bawling out for FFA if they knew that the finances were a complete and utter bogey ???? Are they nuts ????
The SNP government's credibility is now falling faster than their own massive downgrades to forecast receipts and the report blows a massive hole in proposals for Scotland to scrap the Barnett formula and adopt full fiscal autonomy. Feel sorry for Sturgeon though...literally 15 minutes of fame ! Now whats their serious plans to plug the gap and get new industries moving ?
Yes voters / flat earthers / deniers...your own party has come clean, so admit it the dream is over...............answers please
