More fiscal reality for Alex to deal with.....
http://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/top-stories/scottish-independence-eu-deals-pensions-blow-1-3356554?WT.mc_id=Outbrain_text&obref=obinsiteSo, a quick recap of the current SNP economic position:
After apparently walking away from iScotlands share of liabilities (lol) after being refused currency union, losing billions more than the original share of the debt in reserves and assets in the process, Salmond then has to help fill an enormous private pension black hole (up to 225bn apparently). He may then have to borrow on the credit markets at punishing rates, what with him just having dropped a nice big default and having no credit history.
The rUK presumably will not be in the best of moods with him to help him out with a cross border arrangement either.
Anything I've missed chaps?
This is beginning to remind me a lot of that Iraqi propaganda minister just before the Americans turned up. The denial is incredible.
I know it won't happen, but I so want a Yes vote, it would be amazing to watch from down here.
