The SNP : FFA / OIL Revenue Sham Exposed At Last : The Dream Is Dead

**rob murray** · 25-Jun-15, 16:32

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

Cameron has got them by the short and curlies now, he should now give them FFA....and honour Swinneys daft letter to him for more fiscal powers....Swinney wrote his letter knowing damn well fine what the oil revenues predications were...theyve now come clean....what a brainless numpty.....what a stupid "political trick" to pull . Thats the 56 destroyed in a matter of weeks...a laughing stock....Greece here we come, still we used to be very good at piracy years back

lovely to know that england will be of kind as to provide us with money to keep us in the standard of living that we have. A kind thank you to the people of the land of birth. What wonderful people the english are, so proud to of been born one.
Wondering why though so many people in scotland seem to revel in the fact that Scotland is to poor to support itself.

Good bless my fellow english countrymen & women

I take it you live in Scotland Rob Murray ? Why would you revel in the thought of us losing money due to the low oil price ? Scotland is more than oil, we have many industries that make this country great. The oil is a bonus that many worse off country's don't have but still manage to run themselves. I for one would welcome FFA so that as a country we could stand on our own two feet. There would be no excuses no blame on Westminster. Or are you so blinded by hatred of the SNP that you rather see the country crash and burn ? Bitter ?

Yes but you forget one thing with the other country's they do not have full free NHS which cost this country huge amounts of money to keep. Benfits yes name me other country's that give out as much as we do. If you were to go alone, how would Scotland cope with keeping NHS free and benfits, Tax that is the only way which will mean with south having lower tax this would attract companies south. It is a fact there are less start up business and new business in Scotland since referendum.

Scotland is more than oil, we have many industries that make this country great. Like what, the 3 largest sectors in Scotland are Oil, Public sector ( reliant on tax ) and Financial Services ( who made it quiet clear that they wont contenance independance and wil move HQ's / jobs if that happened )

The oil is a bonus that many worse off country's don't have but still manage to run themselves.Absolute nonsense, you mean banana republics do you ?? This is your give away remark....SNP propoganda / social media garbage Oil is a bonus...well go down to Aberdeen spout this crap in a bar and take the concequences then...

I for one would welcome FFA so that as a country we could stand on our own two feet. Good for you, at least rcognise many people hold opposite views

There would be no excuses no blame on Westminster. The only folk blaming westminster ( for what exactly ?? ) is the SNP

are you so blinded by hatred of the SNP that you rather see the country crash and burn ? Bitter ?

: Best mates are SNP party members and activists pal.....Anyway this is a contradictory statement....If the country crashes and burns it will be because of having FFA thrust on us when oil prices are so low, and only 1 party wants this...the SNP so logically they and by definition YOU want this to happpen
