Told more lies than Pinocchio. Wee Eck was bad enough but Sturgeon is even worse.
Lied about membership of the EU and lied about the projections for the oil and gas industries.
Yet the voters are still flocking to them, makes you wonder.

Well the oil companies don't share your confidence with redundancies being announced in Aberdeen almost on a daily basis.
New fields proving too costly to develop even before the dramatic fall.

Nicola being interviewed on Sky back in November.
DERMOT MURNAGHAN: Okay, I’ll talk about that a bit more in a moment or two but as we are discussing the economy, the thought occurs, is there a part of you that is thanking your lucky stars that you didn’t win that independence referendum because right now, given the state of the oil price, with analysts saying it is heading towards perhaps $60 a barrel and your calculations, the SNP’s calculations for Scottish independence were based on something around about $100, there would be a mighty black hole in your economic plans. They’d already be, as you were planning to become independent, the financial institutions, the banks would already be planning to pull the rug on an independent Scotland.
NICOLA STURGEON: Well the oil price right now is the feature of factors around supply and demand and the global market. The majority of independent forecasts suggest that oil prices will rise again next year, the projection is that oil prices will be over $100 a barrel next year and OPEC also forecasts rising oil prices so the outlook in the sector are very, very positive ones.

Alias will be on shortly throwing half bricks right, left and just off of centre. 
akabula, sometimes, just now and again, you manage to endow your posts with a smidgeon of gravitas (above post excepted). It's a great pity that the content is invariably tripe.
Oh by the way, how are things going in your constituency where you help out canvassing for your "local Libdem MP"?

WHO told Scottish pensioners they'd lose their State pension if we voted Yes?
WHO told immigrants they'd be repatriated if we voted Yes?
The whole BT/No campaign was built on lies, disinformation and dirty tricks. Even the head of the Civil Service broke protocol and got involved, and even Liz herself chucked in her tuppence worth. I told you months before Sept 18th this would happen and I was proved right. The British state stinks.

Good. In my neck of the woods we tend to take a more sensible approach and vote for the candidate rather than the party.
BTW Alias don't get carried away with the latest opinion polls.
Firstly it wasn't that big a sample and secondly a lot can change over the next three months.

Sadly, 'your neck of the woods' probably just means 'your house'. I vote for candidate, rather than party too.
Most people are voting for the party leader, and potential cabinet at best. Something that I f*cking despise because it leads to the sickness of sycophantic whipping politics.

NO chance of getting carried away. After all, the dirty tricks brigade will be out soon for the British state parties. WE need to be ready.
Congratulations though, for the first time I can recall, you've got something right - a lot can change over the next three months - in either direction, and I wouldn't trust anything from Ashcroft.
No comment on the unionist LIES I mentioned above?

And you wont.aka is that rare breed a currant bun Unionist who supports Scotland.
I suspect he has not been to Castle Greyskull since the days of Willie Henderson and John Greig.
When he was young he used to indulge in the singing of disgusting shameful songs
He has since matured and just speaks shyte instead.

When William Wallace annouced to the world that ´they never take our freedom´...
He wasn´t thinking about the oil prices.

Guy gets pi55ed every giro day and lets himself down with his bitter posts, still he's good for a laugh.

Scotland would be in dire trouble had the yes campaigners won.
The oil industry is imploding and we would have been facing a massive problem with our economic model.
Still the lies continue with Nicola continuing where wee eck left off by refusing to give a straight answer as to what effect it would have had.
The future is bright she said which is more than can be said for Nicola with that sort of response.
Thank god that 62% of the electorate didn't vote for independence.

"The oil industry is imploding"...worra plonka!!
I live in Aberdeen trust me aka the oil will still be here when you are long gone.

Of course the oil will still be there be but only because it is proving too expensive to extract as a result of falling prices.
There was a business study commissioned and revealed yesterday that concluded that unless there was massive investment more and more fields would be decommissioned.
Note more and more! That means some fields have been decommissioned or are going through the process already.
An Aberdeen oil firm made 300 workers redundant last week, hardly the actions of a thriving industry is it?
Salmonds indy plans budgeted for £7billion from oil revenues. Currently it's realising £1billion. A yes vote would have seen us in the grubber even before we became independent.
BTW not sure what living in Aberdeen has to do with this.

Christ you're good at this debating lark aren't you.
Tullow oil lost £1.3billion last year because of the drop in price.
Axed their dividend payment and say it'd too expensive to explore any new fields in the North Sea and will be concentrating on their West African operation.
Shell and BP announced cut backs their operations with off shore workers made redundant and others asked to take a 5% pay cut.
Well if the North Sea Oil industry isn't imploding it's making a damn good impersonation of it.
