Scottish independence will make Scotland wealthier
UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s budget will see Scotland face crippling inflation with record taxes and spending cuts - a new austerity agenda that Labour is also signed up to. But it isn’t all bad news. In his effort to balance the books, Hunt has unwittingly revealed the true extent of Scotland’s wealth. A £14 Billion tax windfall on oil and gas. It’s an enormous figure, but not quite the whole story. Closer inspection of the budget reveals the UK expects to raise around £80 Billion from oil and gas taxes between now and 2028. A truly incredible sum. But there’s more. The UK’s new tax on electricity generation, including renewables, is expected to bring in £14 Billion in the same period. In total, the UK expects to raise a truly staggering £94 Billion in energy tax within the next six years. And some suspect it could perhaps be much much more.
Where does this leave Scotland? To understand the significance, we need to realise just how energy rich our nation is. With 8% of the UK population, Scotland has 96%t of UK oil and 63% of gas. We also have 90% of hydro with 25%t and rising of U K renewables. Scotland is a huge player in UK energy and of the £94 Billion the UK government expects to raise in tax, an estimated £70 Billion will come from Scotland.
What could Scotland do with this amazing sum?
We could have a wealth fund just as the Norwegians and every other energy rich nation does. We could insulate every home in Scotland to ensure our people never need face heating or eating again. Scotland could develop its energy grid to harness and distribute power more effectively. We could make the transition away from oil and gas to clean power faster and fairer. Scotland could finance a huge expansion of publicly owned energy production and export what we don’t use, with the potential to sell ten times what we require. Scotland could attract business and investment with cheap power. The potential is huge. But there’s one thing in the way. The U K government controls Scotland’s energy and the tax on those profits go straight to the London exchequer. There’s only one way to change that: Scottish independence.

A look at what Scotland can expect without independence and staying in the UK.
Can´t wait to stay there. In April at our honeymoon we will stay for some Weeks. I´m so impressed of this small an beatiful Country.
10 years on and there are STILL a large number of loyalist cults in Scotland who are trying to tell everyone that independence is 'dead in the water' yet they still talk about it... 😂😂😂. They turned their backs on Scotland for Westminster rule yet they have the audacity to claim they are 'proud' scots, where is the pride in voting AGAINST Scotland, they are traitors
Whale murders!
I love Iceland's national anthem. Easily found on CZcams.
If I was to add my thoughts on this matter 10 years ago it would have a "so what" type attitude"...now I wont say hurty words in case they come to my door and drag me to Baird St. So.....I am sayng feck all. Cheers. Former SNP stalwart.
All these videos are quite well produced. Am I right in assuming that the MSM has no desire to promote these questions that you raise? It does seem to me that the MSM is fixated on only promoting negative aspects that they claim are part of being independent and that may be because so much political actions out of England and the US are active misdirection, where the real reasons for events and behavior are kept from the public
I disagree that immigration in England has been a result of their colonial empire. What has been going on the last 50 years is intentional and this is because that the leaders of England and the US and Western Europe are internationalists and therefore create their priorities accordingly. The belief is a homogeneous white population, proud of its country, proud of its heritage, will be harder to manage and to govern. Therefore this intense illegal flooding is an accident that was made to happen behind the scenes. What is going on at the US southern border never would have been tolerated prior to 1970. I do agree that Nordic countries, because they are literally trying to do a good job for its people handles all these issues way better than the adverserial systems in the Uk and the US
We stand with you from the south coast of England, we do understand completely. We have too many “peacefull ones” Never trust The BBC. Peace be upon uζ.
Gods work.❤❤❤❤. Never trust the BBCLAMEDIA😮
long live Skotland! Shed the mental shackles of colonialism: The English have hamstrung Scots long enough. Scots can & thus should rule their own Island nation without the muddling of backstabbers.
The currency issue was the weak link during 2014. All future action has to involve clarity on the currency, and it's not difficult for Scotland to set up its own, without heavy debts, such as England's 3 Trillion National Debt... more than half of which accumulated by the Tories in the past decade. The Common Weal have a few free ebooks covering all of this.
I'm an American of Scottish, Irish, English, German, and Dutch descent. I found this program so culturally and socially inspiring. Fascinating the connection between Scotland and Norway, and other countries of Northern Europe. Thank you for such an informative video.
Its in there d n a just the name alone the brittish broadcasting company should tell you every thing that you need to know abought the independance movement 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 free scotland and get rid off the bbc now 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Solidarity isn't only important when it's affecting our own wallets.
I hope a lot of scottish see your great videos and find inspiration to become an Independent nation sometime in the future ❤❤🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
I notice this video is very orientated around Oslo. Scotland includes the Isle of Skye, Lewis, Harris, the Orkneys and Shetlands. Norway includes Svalbard (formerly called Spitzbergen) which is a long way from Oslo.
is that the place where they kill the dolphins?
Scotland can make it anytime, just like our small countries in Scandinavia, Estland and the Faroe Islands. When I think over the time being Danish: watching my grandparents holiday pictures from Norway back in the 50's where the tunnels weren't dug, driving small roads over the mountains. We started visiting Norway when i was 8 months old in 1968, still driving through this beautifull landscape, through the 70's. But sure things went fast. I worked in Norway 1986, meeting modern tunnels and the Norwegians much more confident. And now they are better off than Denmark! But dear Norwegians: Olsenbanden is ours! The former East Germans can confirm that as they loved it too. Was surprised when visiting people near Rostock that they even knew the names of the actors. I would love to watch your Norwegian version some time. And sorry to say: Norwegian Sunset might be sung at many Norwegian funerals, but genious Bent Fabricius-Bjerre was Danish :)
BRITAIN made Denmark enter the war on Napoleon's side. Wasn't quite our idea. Denmark was neutral. But the Danish fleet was larger than the British, so better be safe than sorry: the British made a sneak attack on a neutral country to sink the fleet. And then Denmark was dragged into the war on Napoleon's side. Thank you, Britain
As Norway, becoming independant, still wanted to have a Royal Family they got the younger brother of the Danish king. I really don't think the Scottish would make the same move thinking of "The Spare"

when a successful white banker says "I live in St. Croix", I think "for tax purposes". Seriously though, good talk. very convincing
Irish monks are connected to this Island. Us Irish and the Faroese are well connected 🇮🇪🇫🇴
The Irish monks immortalized, and were later inhabited by Norwegian Vikings.
Propaganda PISH and nothing more.
Norway ?? Utterly pathetic woman who knows that we genuine people of Scotland are governed by a lying, corrupt and thieving SNP SCUM Government. Who the FUCKS want to go through life governed by a SCUM SNP Government. This is nothing more than propaganda PISH on behalf of the SCUM SNP. She is no better than the NATIONALIST SNP. Humza Hamas as First Minister?? Just listen and you know and I know that this is all again propaganda URINE. Lies, lies and more lies. Fucking Stupid Woman. These people never ever tell you the truth. Margret Thatcher?? What about Nicola Thatcher Sturgeon?? SHUT UP for FUCKS SAKE. Humza Humas?? I rest my case.
They withdrew all aid and food from the Palestinians within hours of the isrealis asking them (with zero evidence of collusion between the un and hamas). So the liberals of Iceland are happy to see genocide in gaza. Please dont make me sick
Scotland now, Join the EU.
So basically unionists and those rangers fans are a hive mind of anti Scottish and contempt and so easily manipulated due to their weak minds
Does anyone have the video clip of ex UK Attorney General Geoffrey Cox saying, Every Sovereign state has the right to withdraw from a treaty if that treaty is not anymore compatible with its interests.
This makes me want to immigrate to the Faroe Islands. I'm certainly going to research a lot more about the history, culture, economic life, and people. I wonder what their mountain biking is like?

In protest of the brutal treatment of marine mammals do not visit the Faroes.😢
You mean we should not visit a country that does not enslave animals, does not kill animals for money, shares food equally among each other, and instead visit a country like yours that gladly enslaves animals, deprive them of all their natural environment, feeds them in ways well documented to put a negative strain on both animals and nature, kills biodiversity and destroys nature, pollutes and is all driven by money. Little logic in that to me I prefer visiting, and by your logic, supporting the islands
I'm not so sure I agree completely with Warren's contention that a trade deficit is a good thing. If a country has a lot of oil and not much else, for example, it might be able to produce a lot more oil than it can possibly use, and to keep its people and resources fully employed, it might need to export more than it imports. Modern industry and agriculture are so productive that no country's economy can keep everybody employed purely on the strength of its internal market. Ever since the US has been in chronic balance of trade deficit, the US share of global consumption may have expanded, but US inequality has also grown. That may be a purely distributional phenomenon unrelated to the current account, but my instinct says not.
There should be no fiscal rule other than that there must be full employment (no spending gap) in the economy at all times for 99% of the time in countries like the UK that will mean deficits. And that is fine.
The S.N.P. are not the only ones to grapple with taking .these Westminster Parties to court. Alba, I.S.P, Greens and others of different persuasions ! Does no one want to know were we stand in the eyes .of the law,?? in the eyes of Europe,?? the World? NO ONE??? What did we expect applying?, begging? for a SECTION 30 from a court owned by Tories and Westminster! the answer would be NO!! What is Section 30? what is Section 35? Internal Market Bill? Levelling Up??( A miserable and ineffective way of replacing the money coming from the E.U.!! with the lies and bribery coming from E.R.G. Robbery or Racist BOTH!!) We have NO debt! We are being robbed!! Reserved Matters to Westminster!?? really!?A Scottish Office built with money stolen from the people!!(OFFSHORE) PERMISSION TO BUILD?? Running up more DEBTS, To by pass HOLYROOD. TAKE THEM TO COURT!!! IN FRONT OF E.U. and THE U.N. OR PREFER TO STAGGER AROUND IN THE DARK!?? WESTMINSTER KNOWS IT IS IN THE WRONG. WHEN WE HAVE THE TRUTH, COLONY(SECRET??) or BY AGREEMENT, EITHER WAY DISSOLVE THIS UN_-EQUAL FRAUD, THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE EXISTED! Troops at our border in 1707 ,tells the truth it was never wanted!! LEAVE WESTMINSTER,S DEBTS BEHIND US! and look to the FUTURE, NOT BREXIT!!? SCOTLAND GET IT DONE!!! A mockery of INTERNATIONAL LAW, SCOTS LAW!! and fake UNION!! WEE MALTA and others had the guts!! NO more polls MICHAEL GOVE ,did NOT LIKE THE TRUTH ON VOTES OF HOW WE WOULD VOTE!??

I notice a pattern. Whenever a foreign person explains Norway, they spend time in Oslo or the eastern part and claim all of Norway is the same. I'm sorry, but this is not always correct. Cultures differ a bit from east to west to south to north.
The comments haven't worn well. Tho' it did document one thing-the intimidation of BBC Scotland which began here has led to 9 years of almost totally uncritical coverage of Sturgeon and Useless from the BBC.
Thanks for create and share!
"Protestant work ethic!" Such nonsense. I was enjoying this video up until that sectarian garbage!
If Scotland became independant, it would not automatically, nor directly, be accepted into the EU; There is a test period for their own independence, just like any other member state, that needs to be assessed before that even becomes an option. I think it was like 3 years or so, but I could be wrong. It's not as if the moment it left the UK, the EU would automatically take over the benefits it enjoys from the UK right now (such as they are).
SURELY AFTER 50 years. They KNOW and trust us? It was England that wanted to leave!. WHAT U.K.BENEFITS CANNON FODDER FOR THEIR FORCES, RESOURCES AN GOODS, LOW PENSIONS, HIGH PRICES,FRACKING, ENGLISH WHISKY(THAMES WATER??)TAKING OVER OUR SPACE PROGAM, POLLUTING OUR FISH WITH NUCLEAR. TRASHING OUR LANGUAGE AND CULTURE!! OUR ENERGY, OUR INVENTIONS!
Makes me want to visit. Seems like an extremely interesting place. I hope the Faroese retain their distinctiveness and identity.
Scotland is more than welcome to be a part of Norway. Must mentioned Orknisland and the Foerisland from the mighty norwegian vikingage!
The English voted themselves into third country status, way to go England. The Scots with their oil, young population, and fear of debt would stand them in stead if they voted to become independent. The bigger problem is would England allow the vote. If Scotland leaves then Northern Ireland would not be far behind.
It is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS!! YOU might find that the NORTH OF ENGLAND WANTS OUT!??
Yes, Scotland has more than enough resources to be an Independent country. This has not changed since 2014 and the last referendum.
What resources except hydrocarbons?
The killing of more than 1,400 dolphins in the region sparked outrage in 2021. At the time, the chairman of the Faroese Whalers Association told the BBC that while the number of dolphins killed was excessive, it was accidental.
Do you just google any video about anything regarding the Faroe Islands to bash them? This video has nothing to do about how the people gather their preferred foods When people act so annoying like you then you actually make people like me wanna support the islanders even more against annoying idiots like you
@@teldupostar It's a legitimate concern, nothing wrong with pointing out issues specific to the islands on a documentary about life in the islands.
@@Harrier_DuBois Sounds more like harassments of the small nation. Be aware of that the islanders are only a few thousand people and they get no break online where any video about the islands, be it about sports, food, travel or any subject, is being flooded by hate comments about the islanders preferred food. To me that is 100% harrasement., They have no chance to show the world a diversed balanced view of the islands, without it being flooded by hate I get that people do not like seeing cute animals getting bloody slaughtered, but that happens every day in every country, it is just hidden in huge slaughter houses, and the big difference is that the animals the islanders preferred to eat are animals that actually had a good life, were not enslaved or killed for money, unlike any of the animals we enslave and bloody mass kill every day, in millions in any western country - but if all videos about Foodball, architecture, design, technology, basicually any video about any subject from any country in western world, if those videos would be flooded by hate comments about how that country enslaves innocent animals, deprive them of all natural enviroment, pump them with chemicals and biotics, and brutally bloody mass kill every generation of them every few weeks, I think all people would say that is utterly harrasement and has nothing to do with the video about football, design, architecture, pop culture or anything No wonder so many people simply just hate organisations like Sea Shepherd when people behave like that
