Re: Scotland independence: the case for Yes (none / 1)
And if the biggest danger lies in having a properly run monetary system....well, there is a lot about the monetary system of the UK they could improve in their own system - like recognizing that monetary policy is not the cure for everything. As to the BoE blackmailing Scotland, I am reminded of the adage: "If I owe the bank $100,000 and can't pay I have a problem. If I owe the bank $100 million and can't pay the bank has a problem.

"It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
