All you have done is to say “I think it would be” and “It would be”, but nowhere do you explain why you have come to that conclusion. But I assume it is because you do not know why England would be worse off. If you do know why I would be delighted to hear your argument.

Well that’a neat way to avoid any further discussion I suppose, but, having read each of your posts I can find no evidence to support your claim that the English will be worse off after independence, so I will assume you have none.

It is worth reminding ourselves that oil rose from a level of about $18 during the 60s to over $100 in the mid-late 70s, exacerbated by the Yom Kippur war and subsequent embargoes. And $100 then was serious money!
