Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

A currency union with Scotland would be pointless for the UK. What would be the benefits for us? We would have to set Scotland's interest rates, influence or even set their budget. We would also have to be their lender of last resort to bail out their banks. Why would we want to do any of it. If we did it then we should charge Scotland a large fee every year.

If Scotland were to get independence then on the subject of banks being bailed out by government where would Scotlands government stand on RBS being majority owned by the UK taxpayer...

It was Alistair Darling that brokered the deal for all three parties to refuse to give Scotland the pound.

So!
Is Cameron and henchmen are so much in favour of the union why is he as "leader" still ducking a debate face to face with Salmond?
Hasn't got courage of his convictions.
I suspect he doesn't have many convictions other than those of convenience.

Is he talking about the money in his own wallet, or the British taxpayers wallets when he says "money is no object"?

Max.....to discuss the money........ie, just how much debt is apportioned to Scotland if and when they break away.

British taxpayers pockets as per usual.
What he really meant to say yesterday is that 'debt is no object'.

Max,
Cameron is seen as running "fright".
Doing the same from your Nick.
Ducking and weaving seems to be his skill.
Apparently, according to many he is also ducking press conference questions, by only answering "setups".
Seemingly on the advice of Bing,

Remember a pound in your pocket is worth two in the bush.

Max,
Within the next 15-20 years, the UK will be queuing up to join the EU.
Edit
I would guess within 5-10!

Wheres Hays would be interesting to hear his take on this 'money is no object'.

Or two pounds in your pocket is worth 4 on the bird table.
