Thread Name: BS: scottish independence
Subject: RE: BS: scottish independence
Well, in substantiation of my thinking that Scotland may be reduced to barter, we now know that both BOS/Lloyds and RBOS/Natwest will be voting with their feet and fleeing the country, alongside other finance institutions, in the case of a No. In which case, is there a bank left in Scotland to handle the Nation's financing?
And then there's the roughly 20 000 soldiery being reduced to around 3000, with just Shannon the Cannon having any functional use at all. 6 fighters, perhaps (anyone ask the MOD?).
Aye, a well-run country.
