doulikefish Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 ''We'll keep the pound'', Alistair Darling has said so!! Funny how the Separatists fire back with this, from a man they dont believe could tie his own shoelaces, a failed chancellor who oversaw one of the worst financial performances of any post war government. But his stumbling error in debate with Salmond, means they now use this as gospel. Is it possible to have it both ways? Either he talks boll*cks or he doesn't!! I'll go with the former So are you saying we cant keep the pound?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 So are you saying we cant keep the pound?? See the post above yours! Why would we want to keep it btw? its value is falling against the dollar, its stability will be challanged further to a post Yes vote, £share prices falling with uncertainty across the markets etc... Alex Slamond has already previously said it's like a millstone around our necks and is a currency that is sinking like a stone! Why would we want to keep it in our brave new world that is so resource/cash rich and that we are clearly able to launch, build and sustain our own currency!?

Mr. Bojangles Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Lloyds shares are back to normal Expect "Scottish shares rally after TNS 50/50 Indy Poll" headlines any moment. Or maybe not Yeah. RBS nearly got back to Friday close too. It's almost like shares are the most volatile market of all. Also, this is on the backdrop of the FTSE 100 finishing down today.

welshbairn Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 If we do end up eventually with our own currency I suggest 100 bawbees to the Crown, with one bawbee worth around 10p and a Crown £10. Coins worth less than 10p are a waste of time. We had the bawbee and the Crown as currency before the Union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just comes across as the ill-thought out mewlings of a crayon muncher, if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoRaj Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 How about the OP change the question to Which currency will actually be used?

welshbairn Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 How about the OP change the question to Which currency will actually be used? The whole thing around uncertainty is terrifying To who? The currency question will be resolved by negotiation after a Yes vote, and it will be in rUK's interest to have a smooth and mutually agreeable transition. What worries me is after a No vote being dragged unwillingly out of Europe after the promised referendum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 It's not about whether or not an iScotland can use the £ or not........an iScotland could use whatever currency it wants. The issue with using someone else's currency is controlling interest rates and thus controlling inflation. If the Country votes for Independence I sincerely hope we set up our own currency.

Why don't we just name them after those who done so much for the cause. £1 - Lamont £5 - Clegg £10 - Cameron £20 - Millie £50 - Darling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What worries me is after a No vote being dragged unwillingly out of Europe after the promised referendum. We've been told this by Salmond but there are no guarantees. He's as Euro friendly as WM so that is another fear. The Yes crowd tell me it's not about the SNP. The SNP are going to make decisions about the future which you are right to feel fearful about. I share those concerns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so blindingly obvious why are there 31 pages about "using" the pound? The question is "Will an iScotland be in a currency union with rUK"? The answer is "Who knows?"

Banterous Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 This is so blindingly obvious why are there 31 pages about "using" the pound? Well there's the thing. You want true independence. The SNP want the pound and the B o E to retain fiscal controls. Now they're in the driving seat for negotiations and you want something different. Voting Yes means you don't get what you want.
