And I identify as an attack helicopter.
But if England are playing anyone other than Scotland I tend to support England, so I may fail the test of being truly Scottish .

Also there's more of us and we have more sticks.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
They give licenses to favoured oil & gas companies and THEY invest in the companies who extract it and sell the product. The UK treasury only receives the tax revenue. The same thing is going on in Ireland - UK based companies being given drilling licenses so THEY can have a nice little shares ‘fund’ via Coutts bank or wherever , that's why we bailed them out (the Irish) the Good Friday agreement and HRH visiting Dublin - it’s all forgiven, ‘the trouble’s’ et al. UK tax payers money (65Mil was it) to buy a nice stake in Irish oil - for a few.
Unlike Norway who ‘contract’ ./create companies to extract the stuff (and pay them well) but Norway keeps the profit and the tax revenue, it’s biggest problem is managing the vast amount of ’National Well/ Wealth Fund’ it has amassed.
Remember the Falklands ?
e.g.
Rockhopper Exploration PLC is an oil and gas exploration company headquartered in Salisbury, Wiltshire
thats what that was ALL about.
Oh and the 200,000 tones of fish they land annually.
THEY sent the troops (Navy) in.
Lets open the books and see the investors.
Even if we want to leave, the whole article 50 process helps us massively! It gives us 2 years to sort out trade deals and terms of exit to be as favourable to us as we can get it, so that when we leave we will not start with a blank slate, we will potentially have a uk-eu trade agreement, along with other countries that have said they want to be first in line (Singapore, Australia and many others).
Whilst we couldn't sign any uk-non eu trade deals before the 2 years of article 50 is up, we could start negotiating and get the terms agreed by both parties, and then sign it on the day we leave. If we left the UK, then we would get nothing out of it. We could leave straight away now if we wanted to, without leaving the uk, but we don' want to.
We want as long as we can get to get the change from eu to non eu to be as streamlined as possible.
