Davi3j Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 You're right, an independent Scotland doesn't have a legal obligation to pay back the debts. But if they don't, they don't get any assets. Apart from things which are physically in this country, such as government buildings . Anyway, no debt and some assets is a very healthy financial position to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Are they going to move them brick by brick to Carlisle? No, but they can demand rent. Or sell them. Or... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysnotter Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Are they going to move them brick by brick to Carlisle? What would be the point in that? Do you have to live in a country to own a property in that country? Doh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ask vip3r, he's the one that mentioned buildings. I was just picking up on the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any buildings which are currently owned by the UK government...you are the one that says we would have none of the assets. Taking the Czech and Slovak republics as a precedent, what happened was the physical assets belonged to the state in which they were situated.

Baxter Parp Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 According to the article, the three main parties have set out their stall. It doesn't matter which party wins the election, so your point is irrelevant. According to the article nobody's said anything definitive yet.

Baxter Parp Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 With the debt, we retain assets, without, we have to build our own, but we're massively better off and able to do so. If the UK government wants to spite their face, let them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Are you sure about that? Who are they going to lose to, because the Labour vote is disappearing pretty quickly. http://labour-uncut.co.uk/2014/02/11/latest-yougov-figures-show-over-1-in-4-2010-labour-voters-have-defected-tories-have-higher-core-vote/ Labour. I can't remember the last time the polls had the Conservatives in the lead, even if the gap has narrowed lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reynard Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well done Georgie boy. He just nuked the SNP and their ridiculous assertion about currency union. The utter c***s that toed the SNP line about how it was all in the UKs "best interests" look like the economic illiterate clowns they were before they started copying and pasting shite from Newsnat, Wings and BfS (less members than my local round table).
