OK. Shell have quite rightly spoken aboout risks to their interests now. Lloyds and Barcalys have upgraded the risk on their risk registers according to annual reports. Add them to BP and Standard Life? Salmond said the CEOs of these companies are entitled to their opinion but most CEOs think otherwise. Perhaps as an ex oil industry economist, he might ask a management trainee how much of Scotland's economy those five CEOs represent? I suppose the proprieter of that fish & chip shop in Linlithgow still supports the Yes campaign, so business leaders remain divided eh? But it's nothing to do with them apparently, just those who rely on them for jobs and a public sector and social security bill that relies on them for money. Fascinating. The brass necked ballsy confidence of the ultra nationalists. Roll on October. Itll be nice to see them quiet for a while.
