So I take it from that you are happy enough for the Bank of England to continue in its role as central banker for an independent Scotland?Do you want to make the £ fall even further than it will after the shut deal we get out of spite?
It will be in both our interests to keep it, however my view has always been that if you want to go down this self inflicted wound route, fair enough.
You do realise that as a tradeable currency we could use it regardless of what the gov may say? I hope you know that.
It's in our interest economically to share it. That's just an economic fact. If you were to keep up the threats my advice would be to say stuck it up your arse, leave and you can deal with the £ crashing. Which it would
The ball is in your court. Spite or self interest.

If it makes economic sense to do so. Why not? The next ten years are going to be rough. Why shoukd we make that situation worse from the start.
A pragmatic approach to damage limitation needs to win the day..
It will, regardless of sabre rattling during the battle.
It has to.

You talk such shite I'm actually embarrassed for you. Sums up the last 300 years?
What conspiracy site did you dig that up from?

Well, if an independent Scotland continued to use sterling then it's not a case of economic sense, it's a case of no alternative. What that means of course is that the Bank would continue in its responsibility for setting economic policy, governing the financial sector and setting base rates. So no real independence there. Bit like your solution for the armed forces if I remember. Cherry pick the bits that are a bit difficult to reconcile with true independence.If it makes economic sense to do so. Why not? The next ten years are going to be rough. Why shoukd we make that situation worse from the start.

You are better than that last post. Scotlands contribution to the UK and the wider world in the last 300 years is absolutely astonishing as you obviously know.Or how about we yet again pat you on the head and give you absolutely nothing, while you do absolutely nothing about it.

As Brexshit unfolds there will be a few winners and many many losers. Even on here SWPback must be absolutely cock a hoop with the threat of little Britain turning into a tax haven must be music to his ears he will make an absolute killing. Then there's El Presidenti who I am sure will be hung out to die once the NHS bites the dust and Uncle Donald comes to save us with his health care companies. No doubt some brexshitter that the there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and we will all live like we did in happy times like in the 50's.
Do you eat cheese before going to sleep?
More than that if it is done pro-rata to contributionsInteresting point to raise on the "Assets" held by the EU, if this is a "Divorce" then what about our financial settlement for the many European buildings we paid towards ?, are we not entitled to 1/28 of cash and assets held in the EU name ?.

It was entertaining seeing someone wipe the floor with you a few pages back when you attempted some "facts". You should be safer with Little Englander insults. They are more your natural level.I love it when the little Englanders proclaim things such as we have the best security service in the world without a shred of evidence.
It's so pathetically infantile.

I'd like to think so but am not sure about this. If you liken it to leaving a club, you wouldn't receive a share of the assets. On the other hand, you wouldn't expect a share of future liabilities either.Interesting point to raise on the "Assets" held by the EU, if this is a "Divorce" then what about our financial settlement for the many European buildings we paid towards ?, are we not entitled to 1/28 of cash and assets held in the EU name ?.

Muscat needs to remember who it was that saved his little island and from who!
Like Sturgeon, way too much to say.

Spain is to be given a veto over the future of Gibraltar
The EU's initial draft negotiating guidelines said any brexit agreement should not apply to Gibraltar without "agreement between the kingdom of Spain and the UK"
I can't get my head around this, if Gibraltar is British what's it got to do with Madrid? The Spanish have been told repeatedly by the Gibraltarians that they want nothing to do with Spain

They also don't want a hard border with Spain and need free movement of people so they will need an agreement with Spain which the EU will obviously put Spain first. Which is why Gibraltar voted 96% to remain they knew the difficulties it will cause for them.Spain is to be given a veto over the future of Gibraltar

It'll play out according to the issue of the Irish border and even Brussels doesn't want to fuck with that hornets nest.They also don't want a hard border with Spain and need free movement of people so they will need an agreement with Spain which the EU will obviously put Spain first.
