From Andrew Neil's twitter/ X feed from 6th December.

None of the maniacs in Government (especially Miliband) will go on his show, as he would destroy them with facts and truth.

He sees the damage Net Zero is doing and is fully on the case.

Hopefully we don't have to wait till Holyrood elections in May for the utter destruction being caused to the Economy to end, but expect a lot of back peddling and real weasel words from the parties over the coming months trying to justify their destruction of Aberdeen and all things Oil and Gas.

We knew they were pretty useless individuals, but for Starmer (the Ring Master), not to understand his own policy is quite breath taking

Quote

"Over 1,000 jobs a month are being lost in North Sea oil and gas thanks to his government’s policies yet Keir Starmer doesn’t have even a basic understanding of his 78% windfall profits tax.

He tells STV it only kicks in above a certain level of profit. Wrong. It applies without a minimum profit level or market-based trigger. Unlike a proper windfall tax (one tied to sudden price spikes), it has no deactivation mechanism if prices or profits fall below a certain point.

Pre-election Labour cited $95 a barrel as a windfall level. The current price is $64. But the windfall tax still applies at the full rate, even on reduced profits. So investment is drying up and job losses are mounting. (Most recently 400+ at ExxonMobil’s Mossmorran plant and 100 at Harbour Energy).

Given the misery he’s causing you’d think he might bother to understand exactly how his tax operates".

Updated Environmental Impact Assessment now submitted.

Starting point for Rosebank and others (Buchan) to follow on.

Available for the public soon - and for Greenpeace to start some other destructive legal challenge, no doubt.

Wise words Einbert.

I will always trust a pump attendant before any politician or journalist (a low bar, I know, but hey ho)

Glad your cataracts have improved/ removed, but I hope I'm not being too personal when I ask if you are a member of the DNA? (the National Dyslexic Association)

A lot of 1s 5s and 8s being bandied about - are you sure it will be £ 5.81 and not £ 8.51?

If it's £ 8.51, I might splash out and get both peepers done on the private.

I thought my vision was getting poor.

Have got cataracts (nobodies fault apart from my own)

I asked the optician when I could get them fixed - about a year.

I asked if I would need glasses in the short term.

He took me outside and said "Can you see that big thing in the sky?"

I said "Yes, it's the sun"

He said "That's millions of miles away...how effing good do you want your eye sight to be??"

Good luck stopping the big yellow thing in the sky doing what it does...maybe if we all ride bikes it won't burn as brightly?

Forgot about year 2000. Also forgot about mad cow disease. The ozone layer seems to have miraculously fixed itself, because we don't use aerosols any more - oh, hang on a minute...got a cupboard full of them!!!

It's the "old 10 years or else we're humped story" which gets brought out .....every 10 years or so.

The doom mongers are never brought to book at the end of 10 years because, well, they're starting on the next cycle.

No wonder half the Nation's on the happy pills when the MSM are looking for the next big thing to make everyone feel miserable.

Need to help me buchanan101 - evidence of my own eyes and ears - point me in the right direction please.

I have lived in the same part of Scotland for nigh on 60 years - rivers are at the same level/ hottest I can remember was 1976/big freeze was 1963 (before my time)/ grass is still green/ trees are still growing/ more than enough food/ don't recall any of the town folk dying of heat exhaustion.

I am aware of the weather, mind you - sometimes the winters are cold with snow/ sometimes not so much - summers, generally pretty much wet with occasional blasts of sun and warmth - yes, I think that's what the old folks like my granny called the weather - in the winter she would burn the coal fire, like all her chums, and in the summer have a drink of cold water, sitting at the back door.

Don't ever recall her screaming of Armageddon. And she lived to the ripe old age of 98.

Disagree about a broad science consensus.

The so called Climate Change Deniers aren't given a platform to present opposite opinions.

There are many alternate views that the CO2 bandwagon is complete hocum - how may have you heard on the BBC or Sky?

Remember David Bellamy? Never off the telly until he said Climate Change was completely made up - never heard of again.

More like him as well.

All for balanced debate and discussion, but that is something that the BBC and the MainStream Media aren't interested in.

They behave like tabloids with the latest scam that's going to kill us all.

Ozone layers? Swine Flu? Bird Flu? Ebola? Rising tides? Melting Ice Caps?, and many many more, yet amazingly, we're still here.

The Landing Page for their News Web Page has a string of headers to direct you around their site.

Can't screen grab, so will list the topics in order as they appear.

"Home; In depth; Israel Gaza War; War in Ukraine; CLIMATE; UK; World; Business; Politics; Culture"

Colours fairly well nailed to the mast.

From the Analysis by BBC Kevin Keane on the BBC Scotland web page.

This is a significant moment for the future of the North Sea but it effectively tells us nothing.

What it does, though, is it takes the brakes off future development within existing licence areas.

Operators seeking consent to produce oil and gas will now be allowed to resume their applications, which have been on hold since the Supreme Court ruling.

They'll now have to produce an environmental impact assessment which sets out at all the planet warming greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production and consumption of the product.

Beyond that, they have to set out what impact those emissions will have on the warming of the planet.

To receive consent, they must set a compelling case for why those emissions must be offset against the benefits of giving the project the go ahead.

Then the minister will use a matrix to decide whether to approve or reject any proposal"

Any ideas as to what will be in Mad Ed's Matrix?

1. What will the Newspaper Headlines say tomorrow?

2. How many nutters will protest on the streets of London?

3. Have I taken my medication today?

4. Will the Green lobby manage to get a phone signal from their billionaire island homes to berate me.

5. What's Keir's position on this, today?

Unfortunately, we still have the BBC posting this garbage this morning.

The first two paragraphs tell you all you need to know.....

"The Earth could be doomed to breach the symbolic 1.5C warming limit in as little as three years at current levels of carbon dioxide emissions.

That's the stark warning from more than 60 of the world's leading climate scientists in the most up-to-date assessment of the state of global warming"

"Doomed"; "Stark Warning" "Leading Climate Scientists"

This is what the Licence fee gets wasted on - Activists in a once supposedly impartial organisation.

The "Leading Climate Scientists" have probably declared themselves to be that, or perhaps they've just been anointed as such by the blue haired, nose ringed, rainbow lanyard wearing employees of the State Indoctrinators.

Of course, it's all nonsense.....and you can take my word to the Bank, as I am also a "Leading Climate Scientist"....well according to me and my Mum.

Probably a combination of JOG's cash at bank, future payments from NEO, oh and a small matter of over 100 million dollars in tax losses.

Should be enough to give SQZ or any purchaser something to think about.

Sold 5.38% shares (roughly 1.75 million shares if my abacus is working).

According to Company website, they held 3.66% of the shares at 31/12/2024 (roughly 1.2 million shares).

So over a 6 month period they have added 500K and subsequently sold 1.75 million.

Share price at 31/12/2024 was 49 pence.

Today, 130 pence give or take.

Don't know what they bought in at, so all guessing games, but based on that timeline alone, not a bad return (could be rotten depending what price they bought in at).

May be selling to realise a good profit.

May be change of investment strategy by the Fund Managers (get out of fossil fuels and go big on buying pea shooters and catapults for the Labour Defence review).

Who knows?

However, somebody(ies) bought them at 130 pence ish.

Don't know anything about how the Trades are meant to have some sort of code amongst the MMs

Monday and Tuesday had morning trades of 1 share followed by a single to low teens buy or sell.

Then, by the afternoon 2.30 pmish a couple of big trades go through - 30000 or so on Monday from memory and 50 and 60 thousand yesterday.

Same pattern today with the single digit trades this morning - we'll see if this afternoon follows the same pattern.

Absolutely no knowledge of any possible codes signals etc, but will see what today brings.

He's right.

Unfortunately the media have him as the pantomime villain (in most cases with some justification).

The mere fact that The Donsld says it is enough for them to boo and hiss.

Fergus Ewing is a suspended SNP MSP in the Toytown Scottish Parliament.

Not my politics, but he has a bit of common sense about him - unlike many of his contemporaries.

Never mind - I'm sure Ed will assure us that there will be tens of thousands of jobs created in the Green Industry to replace them.

Oh, he also has a moon ladder to sell anyone who's interested.

Miliband is without doubt a zealot.

But we need to remember this is Labour Party policy in it's manifesto, so is not the decision/ wanderings/ migraines of one individual - they all signed up to it (as did virtually every other party, save Reform).

It's politicians - playing to the gallery/ reality dawns/ save face in the least painful way that keeps their jobs (albeit thousands of other poor minions will likely lose/ have lost theirs.

A shower of preening weasels.

Up here in Scotland, after COP 26, when the SNP and chums couldn't run to a microphone quickly enough to demonise the oil industry with the mere mention of new oil licences being thought of as a heinous crime (thoughts can get you jailed up here), they now have the absolute gall to be crying their eyes out over the shut down of oil refining at Grangemouth.

Not one iota of regret, shame, responsibility or understanding of the carnage of their imbecilic policies playing to the minority lunatic gallery.

As they say, a politician wouldn't take a red neck at a bonfire.

They might change the ring leader in the Net Zero Labour Party and Civil Service, but the Circus will be in town for a few years to come...unfortunately...we do have donors, pressure groups, family members business's to repay.

Serica are a minority partner.

NEO Repsol are who matters for Buchan re decision making.

Waiting on the politicians for the next wee while, but this will go ahead.

Unfortunately, as PG Wodehose would say, if the people in Westminster (and Holyrood) were dominoes, the MPs (MSPs) are the double blanks.

Hi Surety

Just a wee word of caution about posting anything front The National.

It's run by SNP cheerleaders with an average age of 14, which remarkably is the same as their collective IQs.

It has the same journalistic gravitas as The Beano or The Dandy.

Equinor halving investment in renewables over the next 2 years.

A sign of things to come - perhaps not in Milliband's mind.
