North Sea Oil

Having just read this article, I wondered what others think. I know that we have a much larger population, but approx £7,000 per adult and child, would have been nice. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/13/north-sea-oil-money-uk-norwegians-fund http://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/sep/30/norway-oil-sovereign-wealth-fund

Yes, if only we had set up a sovereign wealth fund with our oil riches, rather than using them to fund tax cuts.

I would trust some of the MPs of the last government, none of the MPs in this government.

Or the last Government.

Really, I would not trust this government on anything.

Thanks Jaz. Yes, its food for thought. But we've got a lorra shale oil beneath us now - lets hope our government is as wise as the worthy Norweigians - I could do with 7000 smackeroos right now.
