The scare stories are going to increase every day up until next Thursday. All of them will be speculative guess work. I hope the Scots can see through this and cut the cord from this horrible union.

Scottish independence: why are mortgage lenders fretting about yes vote? | Politics | The Guardian
Saw Nicola Sturgen asked this a few weeks ago. She said there would be no capital flight so it wouldn't be an issue.
Doubt she'd give the same answer now that SLife have come out.
What a f***ing mess. Poliitcally and economically there will be no CU - which will means masses of pain for a long time. Winning a Yes vote by even 60% is not going to make the RUK roll over on that one........Comment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostThere are lots of things that have to be split, will cause problems or the Scottish won't be able to participate.
For example the Scots won't be able to play the National Lottery or the Euromillions. They will have to set up their own lottery first then join the Euromillions.
Losing the Lotto really isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I'm sure Richard Branson will see an opportunity and start one up.Comment

Hopefully the scare stories and desperate pleas will all have the opposite effect. Who knows, maybe Farage believes so, thus the scheduled visit. He has little to lose from Scotland leaving.Comment

Originally posted by jemb View PostIt's an odd one this. If the banks move all RUK assests south of the border and finance their operations with savings and funds that are relevant to Scotland then the pool of available cash in Scotland to lend to Scottish mortgages will be reduced.
