Our SME has, well, lets call it an 'oil stabilisation fund' which would allow it to operate for a year with no income at all. Also, somewhat perversely, as we are in the business of saving folks money on production costs, when the price is low we can actually end up with a little more work (2009 was something of a boom year for us). Hell, when it's $110/barrel, why call that Skier guy with his fancy low dosage inhibitors and stuff - just chuck 50% MEG at it.<br /><br />Anyway, anger is growing at the UK government over there utter mishandling of the industry, both historically, and now. They better show the NE those 'broad shoulders' quickly or the Tories and Libs (who have a decent vote in those areas) could lose more votes to the SNP.<br /><br />Certainly, the current situation, while temporary, highlights how badly managed the industry us under Westminster control.Scottish_Skiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-16249214946911989642015-01-15T17:37:35.435+00:002015-01-15T17:37:35.435+00:00Red Ed will not be mentioned by the BBC and other ...Red Ed will not be mentioned by the BBC and other Unionist media in Scotland.<br />Scottish voters will be bombarded with a vote for "Socialist Saviour Jim i'm not a unionist" message.<br /><br />PS.<br />I hope your job is safe Scottish Skier.

I'll never understand the opposition to votes at 16 - but then I don't understand the support for judicial murder either. People are just weird.

Small sub-sample size (<100) because it was a standard 1,000 poll across GB. I think the SNP were down compared to the last poll, but were still about 10 points ahead in the sub-sample.<br /><br />Wings has released a social attitudes finding from his poll, that opposition to votes for 16 year olds is much less in Scotland than GB as a whole. Fairly understandable given party policy and the experience of the referendum.
