Quote:
Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has insisted Scotland will retain sterling under independence, in the face of continued opposition criticism.
He said a formal currency union with the rest of the UK was the best option, saying: "It's Scotland's pound and we are keeping it."

Now I am no idiot, I know a currency union would be the best option, however we have been told by more than one source that this will NOT happen.
However this idiot is still claiming it's Scotland pound as we've used it for centuries.
Now this is only true in the sense that Scotland is PART of the UK and if we leave that then it is no longer OUR pound.
Its that simple. He can't keep telling people that is a fact when it blatantly isn't. Would you really want to rely on a currency cintrolled by a different county setting interest rates and everything else? That would just be really dangerous.
Also in the paper today I read that he insists that we will keep the pound as the will of the Scottish people will force Westminster and the Bank of England to ket us keep the pound.
Honestly the guy lives in a fantasy land.
