Default New English Government, fine, but what about..

Scotland, Wales and NI?

Does this not just illustrate what a farce the UK is?

Last Thursday we voted in a British election. The Conservatives got the most seats and votes, it just so happened they did better in certain areas than others.
They are the British government. Accept it. I think its about time that Westminster started to get back a bit of power from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Devolution aside, I quite like the SNP's policies. I wish we could vote for them down here in England, lol.

It could be argued under Shetland UDAL law that the oil belongs to Shetland & Orkney since sovereignty was never legally handed over to Scotland in 1468

Under Udal law, outright ownership of land included the seabed - so if Shetland is still legally Scandinavian and Udal law has never been completely replaced, then the seabed around Shetland belongs to Shetland and not to Scotland.

North sea oil around the Shetland basin therefore belongs to Shetland.

Very True, they have some great policies.

Do you really believe that? Is that why the 'English' government allocates funds to the Scottish Parliament.

This is true. Keep Shetland free and all oil revenue to where it belongs!
