I think Malc is reading from a pre-agreed "wind up the English" playbook which is all very Eck like.SouthamObserver said:

Malcolmg is a straight down the line Scottish nationalist and makes no bones about it. There is no sophistry in what he says, he is completely honest about where he stands. I don't agree with his views, but good on him for not hiding them behind a veneer of progressiveness.
We love you Malc even though you are cross and I am pleased we are indeed going to be better together. Kisses !

They already do......so for many the 15% is only 12% and some 9%. Those at the very top would only get 7.5% from Ed.....TGOHF said:
Ed will want them to share their bonus equitably with hard working nurses and teachers - via the exchequer..TheWatcher said:I see John 'Free Coffee' Lewis has given all it's partners a 15% bonus.
What will Ed Miliband have to say about this attack on the cost of living?

Easterross, rich businessmen are always whinging , we saw it at devolution and not one followed up on their bluster and FUD. Also the old canard that Scotland is top heavy on public sector has been shown to be false many times, it is no worse than UK, again just Tory scaremongering.Easterross said:Morning all and a couple of thoughts.
On the voter turnout, don't the majority of polls consistently overstate Labour and understate the Tories compared to actual turnout, with the odd notable and gold standard exceptions?
It may well be just rich pals of Cameron or whatever tag Malcolm wishes to give them who are suggesting it would be bad for Scotland to leave the UK but these "rich pals" employ hundreds of thousands of Scots and the companies they run contribute tens/hundreds of £millions to the exchequer. Maybe more of the comrade workers should remember without the rich capitalists who employ them, they would be unemployed.
Scotland already suffers from a seriously top-heavy public sector thanks to Labour ballooning it for 13 years. We are now seeing the price of that with councils closing offices which frankly should never have been opened in the first place. Sadly in Highlands, we are seeing important local offices shut so the council big wigs can protect their empires closer to home.
I do agree however regarding the loony Labour councils, nowadays aided and abetted by the Tories, look at Aberdeen fiascos of late for instance.0 -
To be fair to Malcolm, it can be argued that the Shell guy's experience running a large, prosperous, internationally-minded and technologically advanced concern such as Shell is much less relevant to Scotland than Wee Eck's 2:2 in mediaeval history.0

Erm...the new CEO of Shell has only been in the job for 8 weeks. The first and only time he has ever met Cameron was in Aberdeen when Dave and Eck decided to stage simultaneous cabinet meetings in Oiltown UK. So to describe him as a 'pal' seems like projection on your part.malcolmg said:

Do these half wits have any intelligence.
Reality is that the oil industry works on decade long timescales - we need that long to explore, study, invest, build, produce. Moving investment climates make getting economic projections right very difficult - so sometimes we decide not to invest. Brown and then Osborne seriously pissed off the whole industry with their tax raids. And this has undoubtedly cut investment in the North Sea.
All the Shell CEO is doing is exercising his fiduciary duty and voicing the industry view - Scottish independence introduces a bunch of uncertainties (currency, tax regime, investment credits, etc) and this simply makes allocating investment capital to Scotland instead of Qatar or the USA, for example, harder to justify at Business Plan time.0 -

Me too. In fact I'd go further and suggest that the repeal of the 1689 Bill of Rights and thus a return to a semi-absolutist monarchy as per Elizabeth I would result in better government and, thus, greater prosperity for all (see works of Dante for details).Ishmael_X said:

More Not Unexpected News from Welsh Labour
Head teachers from across Wales have raised concerns over the "unexpectedly low" results for GCSE English language exams sat earlier this year.
The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) said grades for the January exams in Wales were "far below what was expected", leaving head teachers shocked.
It follows a row over GCSE English exam results in 2012 which led to thousands of papers being re-graded.

But what also needs to be borne in mind is that what might be good for a large multi-national company is not necessarily good for the rest of us. Shell will have their own reasons for wanting the UK to remain as a single political entity and most of those reasons will be tied to costs and profits. That does not necessarily mean we should be concerned about them as well. This was the argument we (as in the Eurosceptics) already won in the Euro debate with all those companies threatening to leave if we didn't join. As it turns out the only companies that have left have done so for reasons unconnected to the Euro and far more connected to cheaper labour costs and tax breaks/subsidies in eastern Europe.Bond_James_Bond said:To be fair to Malcolm, it can be argued that the Shell guy's experience running a large, prosperous, internationally-minded and technologically advanced concern such as Shell is much less relevant to Scotland than Wee Eck's 2:2 in mediaeval history.

Malcolmg is a straight down the line Scottish nationalist and makes no bones about it. There is no sophistry in what he says, he is completely honest about where he stands. I don't agree with his views, but good on him for not hiding them behind a veneer of progressiveness.

Quite, but Shell's comment puts Shell's perspective. The Nats need to consider its implications for Scotland's presumed post-Yes economy. They may think there are none, in which case they should perhaps set out why they think this. So far we have heard abuse, which is instructive but not in a helpful way.Richard_Tyndall said:But what also needs to be borne in mind is that what might be good for a large multi-national company is not necessarily good for the rest of us.

You'd have to say this can't continue or governments won't be able to function in the future.
These companies (and I include Amazon & Google in this category) are parasites. Using the infrastructure and legal system of the host countries and giving next to nothing back.0 -
