Censored : the debate

CLAPTON · 2014-08-05 19:29:41

I see that the debate between Darling and Salmond has been censored from the RoUK. It's not on TV here. More worryingly is that the STV player has been hacked and isn't working for people down south. Shame we'll never know the truth now; we'll have to rely on the usual objective crew saying how statesmanlike Salmond was…

Have you seen Scottish money?

If one did truly believe that Scotland would separate from the UK, then one would strongly be advised to exchange all Scottish Notes for Pounds before they become worthless on Salmond Day. They are not backed by the Bank of England, just the Scottish Banks that issue them who are obliged to replace them with physical English notes (at the moment).

So I would expect a decline (possibly steady, possibly catastrophic) in their value starting immediately after a "Yes" result, were there to be one.
