Make oil pay
The day before, as Shell announced £19 billion yearly profits, their chief executive demanded tax cuts which the SNP Government backed.
I think that the oil industry should perhaps cut their extreme salaries and put away some more money in the good times rather than always demanding cuts in funding to schools and hospitals to pay for their failure to plan.
