    And the SNP will have to jack up the tax rates so high that anyone who can, will leave to join those who, like Scooter, have left already...

      There is no doubt Scotland will suffer, but they'll suffer anyway so why not go for independence. The signs are the oil market is recovering and major investment banks are recommending using the dip to buy into oil, the turn around in the oil markets probably represents a good opportunity to go for it.

      It's going to be bad for the UK, the car industry is going to be decimated, the finance industry will be decimated and now the only industry that was more or less immune from Brexit will completely disappear.

      looks bad....

        My solution (admittedly crap and unworkable) would be to swap the Unionists in Northern Ireland for the Scottish Nationalist (who, from what I can tell, have strong Irish Catholic connections). United Ireland and united GB (or slightly reduced UK). Job's a good 'un.

          I'd suggest you check the oil price and recovery of shale.

              I follow it pretty closely as I'm invested in oil companies and the commentators that predicted the price could never rise above 40 dollars have been proven to be wrong, it has been over 50 for some months. It is highly likely that prices will continue to rise.

              Citi was one bank who correctly predicted the price rise in 2015 when it was down at 30$.

                  No idea about oil but there's quite a financial centre in Scotland already isn't there... if Scotland looked set to leave UK and join the EU maybe banks would move there?

                      Only once those banks have paid back all their taxpayer funded bailouts. RBS is still majority owned by the UK taxpayers, so they'd presumably need govt permission to move "offshore", and they won't get it.
