Scottish independence

[cibaman]

The UK govt have always stated that an independent Scotland could not share the pound. The reality is that there would be a negotiated sharing of the currency because the rest of the UK has to trade with Scotland and wouldnt put that in jeopardy, Alex Salmond is absolutely relying on it. What the good folk living in England need to realise is that they would in effect be underwriting the Scottish economy if we share the pound, as stated by George Osborne, the rest of the UK would carry the risk of the Scottish economy imploding, a real risk with the fukin idiots running the show up here. Hope for a no vote.

The minute they started negotiations the pound would plummet on the currency markets

It's because of this truth that all the major parties in England, plus past and present chancellors, have ruled it out.
However, the UK trades perfectly well with the Eurozone, the far east and the States, so expect 'Saltire Dollars' to join the list, whenever we need shortbread or smoked salmon.

Exactly this and why it will not happen.
I spoke with a bigwig in the CBI the other day and he claims all of the big cheeses at Westminister have been told to keep
to very quiet regarding the vote between now and September as Salmond and his tribe are banking on a 'Tory Toff' to open their big mouth and say something controversial thus igniting an anti English sentiment to irritate and enrage voters towards a 'Yes' vote.

Well, let's hope said Tory Toff, (a bit posher than Labour toffs) irritates and enrages them enough.
Vote Yes, you know it makes sense.
