    I never claimed that...

    I never even insinuated it.

    You took it to mean that...

    Show me were I actually said that...

    I've been to roi...I know what's its like.

    I know Irish peeps...

    But, I could be wrong, but is the economy still not ****ed? I'd expect Scotland's to tank ... depending on outcome if independence agreements etc

    There WILL be a curency union as neither side can afford for there not to be.

    It makes economic sense to both sides. Widny be the end of the world if there was no currency union, either.

    So said at least two professors of economics when interviewed on Radio Scotland, and I suspect those guys know a thing or two.

    I suspect they do...did they give a solution?

    The euro?

    The Scottish pound?

    Nah, they never went into detail, however the SNP did put together a financial plan from a thinktank of economists from all over the world.

    Me too.

    Neither the currency union nor Eurozone membership (although I think both would be best for us) are deal breakers for me.

    I'm concerned about how the assets are to be divvied up, most importantly pension funds. There seems to be no information on that. I also think getting rid of Faslane is a mistake.

    The cost (Or price) of Independence will only be discovered for good or bad if we vote Yes. Vote no and we will continue to be lied to by un unrepresentative Government ruled over by an unelected Head of State.
