Does that mean should the UK split up we get a % of the oil in England? That seemed to be a very popular and legally/morally correct standpoint (according to Jam and zulu) in the Indy thread. When you build your huge refinery you could dig a deeper hole in the water and keep your Nuclear sub’s there as well. Win win,save money for the tax payer and give the Nuclear penis extension more..err..exposure to the grateful population centres dahn sarf.
Well, the refineries already exist to process crude brought in from elsewhere, they’re built on the coast, like Milford Haven, so tankers can dock easily, and the Trident subs would just transfer to Portsmouth, along side the hunter-killer subs, or wherever the fleet is these days, leaving the Faslane dockers out of work.
Never let the facts get in the way of a rant, though, will you.
