And the most important part of the "asset" that is the BoE is that the UK tax payer guarantees debts over future decades/centuries. Why should an independent Scotland get to borrow against that guarantee, and to what extent can you say Scotland is taking on its share of the debt if that share is still guaranteed by the UK?

          If only they actually looked like that up there, I'd consider moving. I bet it's some Spanish or Eastern Euro import.

                Wearing an underskirt with a kilt isn't a good look.
