Cue David Cameron in a hard hat on an oil rig conceding that, Yes, there was plenty of oil and gas left in Scottish waters (he could do little else since since the UK Governments own commissioned report by Sir Ian Wood had just concluded there were an extra £200 billion worth of assets in the North Sea that were up for grabs. Catch was, you see, a tiny nation like Scotland (dont mention Norway) could never get all that oil out on its own (dont mention Norway!). It required the broad shoulders of the UK to make sure the oil could benefit all of us (dont mention Norway!!...and cut to picture of grinning Tory/Liberal cabinet) This was surely the silliest and most disreputable claim by a British Prime Minister since Tony Blair told porkies about WMD in Iraq.
