    The irony. A statement like that from a country that borrows billions internationally every year adding to the increasing debt.

    A momentary collapse of my cognitive functions has robbed me of my disbelief. Back online shortly...

    Last time we were told it was no big problem if the banks moved south, now the prospect of attracting some is the dog's bollocks.

    Can't have it both ways.

    yeah because they have always moved to Scotland before.

    Or are you going to compete with Eire to become a low tax payer economy and found the Scottish closed Jammy sandwich to compete with the Irish Double Dutch?

    some lies here about the banks moving south...

    Why will Scottish banks move south if there's a Yes vote? - Telegraph

    And not in the UK or the EU.

    And a very small market.

    Sounds reasonable.

    She has to get this done before brexit as after that the EU nationals don't get to vote.

    I don't think she will be allowed to have one before brexit though.

    Procedure is something the Tories would like to do without. HoL being an example.
