Standard Life make plans to leave Scotland for England

[Troll]

The London media baffles me to the n'th degree. It really does. Have they stopped to think for a moment why residents in Scotland this morning reading this story might not consider this news as positive reason to stay in the union?

Perhaps the London media have an agenda to encourage you to go - why is the perception that the Union is of value only to the English and the Scots would be doing us a monumental favour in staying?

Because they reliase they have a cushy ride, and encourage that perception to hide the reality that they are economically dependent on us

It baffles you because you have a woeful misconception of what news is that appears to be founded on a persecution complex.

Why should those in the media ask themselves what the people of Scotland think when reporting the news? Stuff happens whether the residents of Scotland like it or not.

That's the point. Is it really news to anyone? London institutions have been delivering the same rhetoric for years. If the UK adopts transaction taxes, if the UK leaves the eurozone... etc etc

I din't see residents in England queuing outside the doors of no. 10 pleading with the PM to stop this attack on city banks. Quite the opposite.

What next are those hypocritical protagonists going to convince me of, that black really is white?

What has Scottish independence got to do with the City of London?

Apparently 5000 angry Scottish employees are heading to the city in the event of a yes vote.

I'd be worried.

I doubt they are heading that far south. Leeds is booming at the moment

They will soon turn back once they see the price of booze in the pubs

Bring on Scottish Independence I say - should secure us IT work for at least the next 10 years!

Seriously, you are welcome to the IT work in SL. They used to have hundreds of contractors, replaced with Bobs mostly.
