@peterdutoit the only way to stop them would be to hint that if Scotland gained independence the oil fields would be theirs…
If Scotland had gone independent in the 1960s/70s, it would have become one of the richest countries on earth, with a population of ~5m and the 5th largest oil fields in the world.
Instead of that, #MyopicMaggie managed to get conned (mostly) by the Americans and the money just got steadily creamed off, as per usual.
It was such a massive f*ckup.
