Lol.. Why WOULD we? As far as I know, countries don't "share" their resources as a gesture of goodwill?

No not at all Lee, I'm just surprised at the 'I'm alright jack' attitude' is this how all Scots feel about their resources?

If Salmond guaranteed a huge reduction on the punitive duty on Scotch, he might have a chance in his dream of being the first Emperor of Scotland!

Well go and phone Kuwait or something and ask if they'd mind sharing their oil revenue with you.. I reckon they'd be fine with that...

Why does everybody assume that Salmond would automatically run the show if we were to gain independence? We'd have a general election as normal to elect our government.. And guess what? We'd then be governed by people that the majority of scots have voted for... Which is not currently the case

my point is the greatest thing to ever happen to your country is proud to be British and want to remain British so the rebels like you should follow his lead and stop this silly pointless mission to become Independent and also even in a dream world if you do become independent you can keep the bloody oil because in the real world Putin's Russia will soon have a vast amount of Oil from the Antarctic and we will be striking a deal with the good man himself

Omg kizzy!! We're talking about becoming an INDEPENDENT nation.. Like almost every other country in the world. We will have our own resources and assets, our own government, our own economy... No country decides to just "share" their income. It's madness!

I agree, I doubt if any other part of the UK would cut any other part off if they could, nor should they.
I hope this isn't Alex salmonds plan?

I don't believe you could survive as a stand alone country for a start Lee, the oil reserves are a draw but would it be enough to maintain independence?
Can't post links but Cathy Newnans C4 news blog from 12 May 2011 has lots of relevant information on Scottish expenditure.
United we stand divided we fall as far as I can see.
