It’s hard not to feel angry when you think that more than £400bn of oil revenue flowed from the North Sea in the last 50 years, but Aberdeen City Council is now closing libraries and a swimming pool to save £280,000. This programme is still on BBC Alba! pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/5…
@NeilDrysdale So sad, billions poured through the streets and the current state of it, a train to the airport seemingly an impossible concept that no other European city could work out…
@NeilDrysdale Yes and WM has lied to Scotland about the amount of oil that was there and they are still lying. We should be a rich economy not a failing one and this is down to WM abuse - why don’t people wake up ! The union is corrupt.
@NeilDrysdale Those who sold thier companies out to english/overseas owners, what did they think would happen? The Islands around Scotland is the next thing we LOSE while the english are slowly moving in. Enough of them there is maybe how the UK ended up with Gibraltar.
@NeilDrysdale We should have a skyline like Dubai but it all went to London. 😒
@NeilDrysdale Apparently another 400 billion also came in from onshore taxes according to an economics prof I heard on bbc Scotland. Even John Beattie was flabbergasted.
@NeilDrysdale Wake up Neil..They are closing libraries because your party in government have deprioritised local government spending. Maybe write about that occasionally.
@NeilDrysdale @EwanHunter because Westminster took and still take all the oil revenue from Scotland and give us back a pittance. So many lost opportunities for Scotland. Time for Independence.
@NeilDrysdale Yes , @ScottishLabour @Keir_Starmer want all Scottish energy resources to go to England ! They brainwash Scotts with soviet style propaganda slogans to make them believe that they are more valued than English.. it is a modern colony supported by unionists
