The same Falklands oil fields that our Govt has given the green light for further development while our own industry crumbles. Meanwhile a scramble goes on for licenses in Cameroon, Namibia and South Africa to drill for and produce oil - but hey OUR emissions will be low. It’s time for our Government to wake the fuck up and realise the UK is a tiny speck in the bigger picture. Get Milliband back to Wallace and Gromit and get the country on its feet again.
You lost me there Jack
Ah, got ye
Ah, got ye
FTFY is fixed that for you in Jackspeak
Now if all they assets just lying there waiting to be taken advantage of for all the jobs etc were down south…..
Progressing Rosebank and Jackdaw alone would at least create/keep some jobs and give us something to sell at market rather than relying on one way traffic.Now if all they assets just lying there waiting to be taken advantage of for all the jobs etc were down south…..
Could it be naively possible that they would look a complete bunch of arse wipes if they backtracked hugely after the indy campaign and went after it?
I mean they did say North Sea oil was worthless and basically none left
We, in this country, can’t use the oil extracted from the North Sea. It gets sold on the open market. We still have to import the fuel we use in our heating, cars etc. Most of the population don’t know this and won’t see a penny of benefit to their daily lives as any financial gains are swallowed up by business, shareholders and the treasury. Only the rich upper 1% ever gain.
Unless its a school and they're armed with an AR 15!
I think it was a Hilton hotel ?
It was the Washington Hilton. Reagan got shot there. I think you are beta bit harsh on the security guy.
Maybe the security guys of today Archie!
Heard that security guy got shot in the ear but they’re no telling us who it was in case he REALLY did get shot in the ear.
Was it not the guy who was supervising the magnetron rather than the secret service? I may have got that wrong.
Keeping a few thousand skilled people in work in the UK and paying UK taxes would benefit a lot of us - as would having crude oil to trade for refined products. I’m definitely not in the upper 1% but after 30 years in the oil industry I have certainly seen benefits.
Maybe they outsourced the security to Waitrose or Morrisons.
We could use the Norway model or grant licences on condition its sold to UK exclusively
Who knows.
You mean what should have happened back in the 1970s when it was first brought ashore? Instead we have had successive Westminster governments fritter it away to the benefit of nobody in Scotland but the south got a nice M25 London orbital motorway.
