The debt belongs to the UK and Scotland is part of that. If anything an independent Scotland should take on Scottish debt so RBS and HBOS debts should go with the independence as well as approximately 10% of UK debt.
And the profile of the two at the top as it crashed and burned:
Andy Hornby and James Crosby, both English. However, unlike you I will look past the blinkers and not say it was an English problem. It was a City of London problem though.
Whilst 'Broon' may have been at the helm, he was no sole fallguy. Bills are put to Parliament where they are scrutinised, debated and then if accepted they are enacted. This was a British creation and saving the banks benefited the British because I will guarantee you that more English debt is tied up in both those banks than Scottish debt.
You want us to take the debt? Fine, we'll just call in all those English loans and mortgages. Not really a good idea though is it, (a) for Scotland or (b) for England."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith

If you think there is ill feeling now, imagine what it will be like afterwards. Salmond's tactic is to tulip stir for all it is worth.Comment

Originally posted by The_Equalizer View PostThis is why Salmond gets up my nose. Basically he plans to keep winding up the English (note he'll never make any direct reference to Wales or Northern Ireland) until English public opinion say okay, do what you want.
To say he doesn't have a mandate to ask any question he wants around Independence is ludicrous. He has the support of the electorate.
What exactly is it he says that winds you (I'm assuming you're an Englishman) up so much? That he wants to set the question? That he wants to set the date?
Don't forget, most of what you read about Salmond is tainted by the English Press. I notice a clear difference in reporting in English and Scottish editions of papers such as The Times, Daily Mail, Telegraph, etc. In my opinion he's actually a great statesman."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith

Read his keynote speech and tell me where this anti-English rhetoric is coming from?
Alex Salmond delivers keynote speech | Scottish National Party
I do like this line though:
THE DAYS OF WESTMINSTER POLITICIANS TELLING SCOTLAND WHAT TO DO OR WHAT TO THINK ARE OVER. THE SCOTTISH PEOPLE WILL SET THE AGENDA FOR THE FUTURE."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith
