Shetlands Oil Story

[Andrew[MG]]

Interesting or load of crap? http://newsnetscotland.com/index.php/scottish-news...

[S2red]

Yes

Son was talking about this at weekend and all YES/NO politics associated with rumour

I cannot believe, even if it were true, that anyone could keep it quiet far too many folk involved

Oh and strange it surfaces at end of Commonwealth Games

Sounds like propaganda twaddle to me.

[Rusty1]

here we go again,

all the "no thanks/better under england rule" folk will just state its yes propaganda.

its been covered lots, Scotland doesn't need the Oil to be financially viable, it just sweetens the deal.

[McWigglebum4th]

Yes it is 100% true

The worlds largest oil filed is west of shetland

The information is so complex that the prime minister had to be flown up in a top secret trip with a huge pile of journalists to shetland so he could meet with BP whose head office is in london

The funny ones I've been seeing on another website is some lass who thinks she a expert and says that the clair ridge guys were all downmanned for this. That would be believable if it wasn't for that the clair ridge platform is still in a shipyard in south korea haha

I think Dave came up to administer a severe bking to BP executives for missing the world's biggest discovery despite decades of shooting and interpreting seismic in the area. "Doh! ... it was right under our noses all the time!"

On the other hand, maybe he'd heard that the pubs of Lerwick were full of blokes who were being paid to go on the lash until 19/09/14 just as long as they keep schtum.
