Hallett @ St. Andrews

[RobGordon]

here.

[Kevin Mahon]

Darn, that is absurdly interesting!

[RobGordon]

Yes and, -more importantly, factually correct...

[George]

Well that a well balanced, objective article, from a well balanced objective news source.

Oh now, wait...

The site favours major constitutional reform, either full independence for Scotland where we reclaim the remaining powers currently reserved to Westminster or Full Fiscal Autonomy that would at least provide the Scottish Government with the tools to address Scotland’s economic and social issues. This will be reflected in the editorials and content.

..and Hallett is anything to do with that website George?? The source is Halletts own academic findings.

[George]

Then link to his findings.

[RobGordon]

Then link to his findings.

I dont need to. You can hear him for yourself on my initial link, there's an audio interview with him you can listen to.

Here

Scotland is the oil and gas capital of Western Europe. Look up HM Gov documents archive from 1975. De-classified under the 30 year rule.

I would like your views.

[RobGordon]

Monolith's only here for the banter.

[The Monolith]

Then link to his findings.

I already did. You can hear him for yourself on my initial link, there's an audio interview with him. Hallett was on Newsweek Scotland, on BBC Radio Scotland two weeks ago.

I would like your views.

Why did you quote yourself to bold one word? You realise you have an edit button?

Also a general question for mods, Is posting a link with little to no description actually banter?

[RobGordon]

I didnt notice i'd quoted myself but nice to see that you're only here for the banter, Monolith.

I would have thought you might have an opinion about the article, rather than one on the permitted posts on the GU student radio station forum.

[RobGordon]

Darn, that is absurdly interesting!

Yes, but is it banter, Kevin?

[Octavion]

I want independence for Hillhead. We have been subsidising Govan for far too long.

Reductio ad absurdum.

I'm all about the banter Frank, sorry rob.

I just think posting a link with no description suggests a lack of banter & more politicised Internet leafletting. It's not that I don't agree with the views expressed, actually a lot of this I agree with the necessary discussions are good ones, merely suggesting that your posting style is shite.

Also as you know I'm still enraged that your ' what are you listening to now' thread has eclipsed my 'fictional commodore 64 titles' thread

Love, kisses & boomshanka

[George]

On a production note - that interview is mastered pretty poorly. They should learn hard limiting and other audio editing skills.

[The Monolith]

Monolith IS "the banter.

Yass, nice edit, sir!

[rockislandline]

didn't seem balanced and fair.

I like the obvious dodge of a certain Fox phrase.

Scotland is the oil and gas capital of Western Europe. Look up HM Gov documents archive from 1975. De-classified under the 30 year rule.

Yes, but it won't be in 15 years time. Look at the declining revenues and resources from Scottish oil and gas resources over the last decade. It was a valid argument when Salmond and co. used it 10 years ago, but even Salmond has stopped saying it now because he knows it isn't remotely sustainable. North Sea output fell by 38% between 2000 and 2006 and is continuing to go down. The profit on each barrel is dropping as well despite an increase in the sale price, because remaining reserves are more difficult to extract and consequently costs have increased. Whilst we'll continue to reap some rewards from the North Sea over the next decade or two there's no hope of it being big enough to support a national economy, or a sustainable economy going into the following decades.

On a production note - that interview is mastered pretty poorly. They should learn hard limiting and other audio editing skills....but thanks for pointing this out to me, Rob. Clearly I wasn't paying attention to what I was pretending to have read. I dont have any comments about the subject matter.

Apologies accepted, George.

George no news agency or news network is free from some form of bias. Anytime you want to sort out that massive superiority complex is fine with the rest of the world.

Affirmative.
