    Just to clarify my post above I meant that of those we spoke to it was 50/50 YES/NO with about 20% of the total interviewed undecided.

    Now I understand in finance you need to know how to add 2 & 2 and make 5 or 6 or preferbly 10000. <ok>

    All is clear monacoger, you were talking finance I was talking real world.

    Never mind btw all the big finance houses made the same threats about leaving when we had devolution they are still here, as thery will be after Independence in fact many will have to move to Scotland because London will no longer be the centre. <ok>

    The flaw in that logic is what happens if there is another big crash, would an independent Scotland be able to bail out someone like RBS or Lloyds who have their main offices in Edinburgh? I would think not, hence they will move their HQs to London, one would have thought anyway.

    Anyone read the list of the 200 "celebrities" who "want you to stay"?

    It's alphabetical so Aaronovich and world renown mental cat lady Frances Barber are at the top <laugh>

    The big crash is the very reason to get the **** away from the UK. The way an Independent Scotland would deal with it would be very different to the way the UK is handling it. The whole of Europe is in trouble the Germans are better placed because they still make things. We need to re-industrialise and there is no chance of that in the UK. Of the top 20 economys in the world 8 are small countries the size or smaller than Scotland. This give the lie to all those who talk about bigger is better.

    There arguments are flawed and are regularly put forward by ****s and waifs.

    RBS and Lloyds ran up their losses in London, they are London banks in all but name and 'head office' even though the London bank makes (and loses) all the money.

    Should a once a century event happen again, as the banking crisis was, in Salmonds Socialist Republic of Scotopia, would you even want the banks bailed out? That argument is 100% bollocks. **** the banks, let them fail. The banks are too big anyway, hold too many aces and a gun to the head of the taxpayers, break them up, don't bail them out FFS.

    You can make things without re-industrialising. All these ****s wanting to see big polluting industries back in Scotland need their ****ing heads read. That's what Asians are for FFS! We should be focusing on tech, education and science. That's where the big profits are now.

    FFS!
