Originally posted by VectraMan View PostThis BoE as an asset argument really is cobblers. What about all the other assets? Schools, hospitals, railway lines, public services, etc. etc., all these real assets paid for by the UK treasury that Scotland will get to keep without paying its share of the debt that in part paid for them. 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?

Scots have paid into the assets including the BoE over the centuries of the union so we are entitled to a share back, which includes Sterling. We have said we will take our share of the debt if we get our share of the assets.
If the assets are withheld from us then it's only fair that we don't get any of the debts. It has been stated by the treasury that they will take on the whole debt so Scotland wouldn't be defaulting.

Originally posted by centurian View PostWhat do you think will happen if they follow through on their threat to walk away from the debt.
Westminster will take it's revenge - and why not - the Scots won't be able to retaliate, because they will have played all their cards - what more can they do - refuse to export Scotch whiskey to us.
