THE BIG LIE

On Monday, citizen Cameron will be in Scotland, on some exceptionally dodgy ground, repeating the big lie about oil. He will basically say that the Oil and Gas industries in the North Sea (and elsewhere) will be stronger if Scotland stays within the UK. The Brits lied in the 1970's about the potential economic impact of oil on Scotland (think Norway) - they have been lying ever since whilst draining the revenue to fund their post imperial delusions and to pay for tax cuts. Just exactly how long DC can keeping repeating this lie and whether or not he will convince the Scots that it is a truth remains to be seen.
