Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostThat's one of the silver linings in all this - Even Alex Salmond concedes that Scotland is now joined at the hip with England for the foreseeable future. It's like the Dorian [sp?] scheme all over again
Neil Blake, the director of economic analysis at the consultancy Oxford Economics, said: "If Scotland had been independent it would have been in a similar position to Ireland, which has a similar-sized economy and population. Scotland has a successful fund management and *pensions industry which will not be affected in the same way as the banks, so I think the Scots could still have got through this as an independent nation, particularly if they had joined the euro, as they could have asked for some help from the other eurozone countries."
Those who want independence should want it for freedom, not for money.

Really? Is your country bankrupt then? Are you likely to be out of work soon? going to lose your house?
Sheesh, you can worry about the future all you like, it won't change it. Or you can take stock of all the good things you have in your life right now and enjoy them.
And turn the blardy telly off if its gonna get you down

Attempting to stimulate the housing and credit markets back to 2007 levels isn't one of them.
