Watch out Norway, there's a thief about!

I have a book, among too many, called 'Natural Resources In Scotland, Symposium at the Royal Society Edinburgh'. Published by, Scottish Council (Development and Industry) 1960.

It covers everything, soil and minerals, agriculture, water, energy, fishing, land use, forestry, humans (human resources), doesn't mention oil but they had an idea I am sure by the 60's that it was there. Notice the title, it doesn't say Scotland's Resources, that would indicacte ownership.

There are films some available online to watch at NLS moving image archive, going back I think to the 70's about Scotland's oil.

It's tragic, every drop of Scotland's massive oil reserves has been taken by the country next door, the £trillions have been squandered, spent on bank rolling the city of London and Canary wharfe.

Meanwhile Scotland was the drugs capital of Europe, (drugs easily imported via Scotland's vast coasts, unprotected by the UK security as is their duty) and had the lowest life expectancy in the western world. It's convenient to have people drugged up when they want your resources, just have to look at Latin America for that. No opportunities, people left Scotland in their droves, meanwhile many English folk made a small fortune working on the rigs, (we had a neighbour in NE Eng who did that) for a few years it was very highly paid.

Starmer is in Norway to see how much more he can garner support to thieve much more of Scotland's vast energy resources, meanwhile cutting Scotland's 'block grant'. It would be funny given the blatant arrogance of the lying theiveing BritEnglish administration,, but it's enough to make you weep. Love the image, so very apt, but he should have a map of Scotland and Saltire in his shoved into his waist coat as well.

To date there are no commercial nuclear power plants in Norway -good for them as nuclear is a black hell hole for public money (amongst other things like health and the environment)!

So true. The UK is rotten to its black core.

Currently, with an absolute absence of vision or intelligence, Australia's main opposition party to Labour, is touting nuclear power even though we have plenty of gas and coal. My guess is that Dutton has been bribed with electoral funds if he plays the quid pro quo. In my rare moments of personal indulgence, I like to imagine a long queue of privatisation/deregulation proponents staring in terror at the action part of the scaffold.

Wow. That is the kind of comprehension I can respect.

My ambition is to claw back resources for Australia which, currently, are being taken for free.
