Standard Life threatens transfer to England if Scotland votes for independence

[sex]

Standard Life, the pensions and insurance giant, has said it is planning to shift large parts of its business to England in the event of a "Yes" vote in next week's Scottish referendum.
The Edinburgh-based FTSE 100 company said that "if there was a need to do so", it would make drastic changes to its business structure to cope with Scotland seceding.

Just one of many i suspect, business aren't gonna operate in a country where they dont even know what currency will be used if they go independent and not even a member of the European Union (if that was a reason for locating in scotland) + what tax and regulation will be like.

we'll be using the £

and that's not a sudden move, it's been happening over past 6-12 months iirc.

where will all the notes come from, obviously the ones scotland has wont last forever lol. especially if new notes are introduced etc

notes can only stay in circulation for so long before they are taken out and replaced

It's laughable they want to keep the GBP. "We don't want to be in BRITAIN!!!! but hey we want ur currency" you can't pick and choose.

Get your own currency or bugger off to the ever so wonderful Euro.

Presumably the bank will print more, idk specifics but we'll be using £.

We'll most likely be getting a currency union with the UK anyway if we do vote Yes.

You can, but it makes your entire quest for independence an absolute joke because you've had to rely on a British form of currency still.

Not really, having independence is a lot more than only a currency.

It's also been stated under no circumstance can we use the GBP, then that got changed very quickly didn't it?

Like every other scaremongering tactic got shot down.
