Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[darmstadt]

Is that why none of you want to answer my questions re whether the Panama solution is compatible with EU membership?

Is this the one where you pretend you're dead and cash in your life insurance?

Remember the ERM?

You can peg but at some point it may become unsustainable and if your politicians don't realise in time you have a recession on your hands.

But Scotland will be led by Alex Salmon so you can be sure he will be on the ball...

Pegging is the answer. The Bermudian dollar manages to peg to the USD. Not a perfect solution but very workable. Bermudian dollar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bermuda as in the tax haven with a population of 65,000?

No-one takes OG seriously.

...even Krugman thinks it's bonkers

Paul Krugman, a left wing economist, thinks maybe it's a wee bit daft too....

He has a Nobel prize too.

Most of the business would already have gone to England. It would not be good for Scotland.

I know, I don't know why nationalists think a CU would be in England's favour. All the main Scottish financials will move to London if we don't get one. A lot of my old clients as well.

I can always work in forestry I suppose, chop down trees for living.

I think they will move south regardless if Scotland votes Yes...

Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.

It'd be political suicide for any party to countenance a CU after a 'Yes' vote. So it won't happen.

Scarily Swinney says Scotland would just renege on its share of the debt if there is no CU - which would push up a fledgeling Scotland's borrowing price.
Bonkers.

The SNP are rushing for the line, if they win it'll be a Pyrrhic victory as they are unable to address any of the real f*****g scary issues.

As Einstein said - Nationalism is an infantile disease....

So, on The Contractor UK forum, we have people quoting a left wing economist.

Anyone want to cast your mind back to the last left wing economist you people came into contact with ? Think it may have been Gordon Brown. How did that work out for you ?

But dis left wing economist, he speak da troot, homie ! Church !
