On the same day the administration of Lindsey Oil Refinery in England was announced, the UK government sprang into action with funding and an urgent statement - where was that action when it came to Grangemouth?

Is saving an English refinery and not a Scottish one fair?

If you think it is, you're not undecided, you're a unionist

If it's not, you know you need #ScottishIndependence so come and help us achieve it.

A large majority across Europe would support an independent Scotland joining the EU - more than would support the UK rejoining. Only the rest of the UK is against.

Denmark is keener than we are!

Exactly that
The UK Government knew back in March/April but let Grangemouth close which didn't seem to be in such a mess

Did the Westminster Government let Grangemouth fall so it could save the Lindsey Refinery which Milliband is trying to do?

This stinks more than sulphur

The uk Government intend to built Nuclear power plants in Scotland

Not because we need the electricity, but to supply power directly to England via new “Green Links”.

Scotland gets Nuclear plants and massive pylons, so England gets electricity
