Given UK PLC own around 80% (or there about) of RBS and 37% of Lloyds Bank (who own HBOS), why wouldn't both of these also be moved south of the border following any yes vote? <br /><br />It would clearly be better for the New UK to have employment, taxes paid, and earnings spent locally as opposed to within any foreign country. <br /><br />Then there is UK HRMC who have major offices in Scotland that would automatically have to move south.<br /><br />Just how many jobs have just been lost? And how much will income tax need to rise to pay benefits to those that would then be out of work?TPCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-76394526889277757652014-02-23T14:33:16.042+00:002014-02-23T14:33:16.042+00:00Yet again a complete disconnect from reality by t...Yet again a complete disconnect from reality by the snp breaking up the single UK market is going to do enormous damage to the economy.With the bravehearts thinking they can play around around with the currency without damaging peoples wages, pensions, savings and jobs.I believe the advice given is that it would take up to five years to set up a central bank and launch a separate currency, where is the work being done on that?I still see the snp are sticking with there will be currency union,there is no way this is going to happen.When the hard facts are explained about all the currency options being offered by the yes side,the only conclusion you can reach is that the snp do not care about the economy and the prosperity of ordinary Scots. The objective is to con enough voters to vote yes no matter what the cost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-62880800076884316862014-02-22T20:22:46.383+00:002014-02-22T20:22:46.383+00:00the correct thing is to get your money into an Eng...the correct thing is to get your money into an English ban or building society thus insuring yourself against SalmondAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-5632815455138206382014-02-22T17:05:37.140+00:002014-02-22T17:05:37.140+00:00I've already moved mine and my kids money to a...I've already moved mine and my kids money to an English building society. <br />What would a business rather have?
