xbl Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Scotland tonight 10:30 tonight Dennis Canavan v (the loveable) Ian Davidson debating the latest Panelbase poll. You know, I think I'll watch that one. That promises to be a proper old school beef! I predict anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepundit Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 If Scotland goes independent,then I hope the UK do everything within its power to force Scotland into finding a different currency than our £. We'd need to come to some sort of agreement with the Scots in regards to using the pound and there's no guarantee it would happen. Although, a Separatist on here seems to think they can just form their own currency and avoid the division of UK debt. If it was that easy Salmond would be using a different currency as one of his unique selling points and instead he is talking about sticking with the pound. Why would he want to continue using the pound if an independent Scotland can escape debt free? And he certainly doesn't want to join his previous favourite currency - the euro.

Sorry, please explain how we would be "banned" from using our own currency? Also, what benefits would Scotland get from remaining within the Union we wouldn't if we became independent again? Would you leave in the result of a yes vote, if so, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bojangles Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 We'd need to come to some sort of agreement with the Scots in regards to using the pound and there's no guarantee it would happen.

If anyone said that, they're wrong. I assume you're getting the arguments about getting a debts and assets split or unilateral declaration of independence and being able to simply use the pound without a currency union (in the same way as a number of countries use the US dollar) mixed up. And even if we wanted to, we can't join the Euro until we have floated our own currency and/or the economy and currency of Scotland get into line with the rest of the Eurozone. Thanks to whoever said about Scotland Tonight. It's pretty rare I watch it, but that sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam. Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 If anyone said that, they're wrong. Luckily no one did. I said something similar: if rUK refuses to negotiate over splitting the assets we have no obligation to take on the debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it would be to the advantage of both countries. The creation of our own currency doesn't mean we could divest ourselves of the uk debt, dimwit.

Liam. Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 thepundit, do you think shafting our closest neighbours would be a good way to start our life as a newly independent country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Actually its pretty funny the BT YouTube page it's all about the SNP.... uncertainty etc.... Nothing to tell us why we're better within the union mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 thepundit, do you think shafting our closest neighbours would be a good way to start our life as a newly independent country? Agreed. However, as long as the CDU are threatening to not give us our assets, then it can't be taken off the table. A "nuclear option", so to speak. Lets not forget the British Government floated the idea of annexing parts of Scotland... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first two minutes of this video are absolutely brilliant if you like Alan Partridge type comedy. Swampy I would imagine will appreciate the video.
