Will England lose control of Scotland today?

You don't have any money either. You're broke. Up to the moon in debt. You just have a lot of printer ink.

But we have a decent credit rating, something iScotland won't be enjoying for a long time

[DiscoStu]

You sound like the ignorant passenger of the titanic shouting "Ha look at how small your boat is" at someone escaping on a lifeboat

You really need to work on your analogies.

Yeah need to dumb them down a bit for the audience.

I'd bet good money iScotland would not be as socialist as many would think.

Nearest I can find is that you can get 150/1 on any party other that SNP or Labour to get largest number of seats in 2016 Scottish Parliament. Almost worth a fiver, as WTF knows what happens next.

So you'd prefer option A?

A) Up to eyeballs in credit card debt. No hope of paying it back. But hey we've got a good credit rating!

B) No debt, no interest rate payments, we spend what earn.

No debt and no borrowing and a balanced budget, so huge public spending cuts and lay offs alongside the need to establish the structures on an independent state. Outside of the EU. RUK considers iScotland to be a debtor in default. No foreign currency reserves. No currency union, so sterlingisation or own currency.

What kind of economic collapse do you think that would create?

It would be an engine of change. Change is needed. There's too many public sector jobs for starts.
