Too true Allan. But what can't be ignored is the main thrust of the thread;

People were told oil alone would pump prime the social programme they promised for many years.

The credibility being a leader who as an oil economist knows this to be a financial fact.

Could you imagine the negotiations that would be going on now and how the oil profit slump would affect the position of the Scottish negotiators?

My my my, said the spider to the fly.

(Best bit is, Salmond and Cable in the same room explaining to each other the situation) 😂
