ok lets put this using the boe post independence to bed. no one owns the boe its a state run body like the dwp police etc.so if you leave uk its not yours. a percentage of its assets and liabilities would be Scotlands. so thats 10% off the toffees in the gift shop (there very nice always get some when I go to meeting there) and 10% of the debt. thats it no lender of last resort no ability to set I rate no ability to issue sterling debt.

I know this will not sit well with some but after 11 years in banking in the field of regulations I know a bit about it.

Oh god, this thread will be awful! All the Tory fanboys gushing how wonderful Boris is!

Hope Boris pays attention.

Brand makes my flesh crawl.

Jeebus, this Jowell woman, 'if only the banking system was run by women'...

Tessa Jowell makes me want break my TV.

"Men are all terrible sexists."

"Women are better at working in an office and men are useless pigs."

Some quotation marks would have helped wouldn't they?

Oh god, here we go again.

That response from the crowd seemed to rather catch her by surprise.

It's a good thing she's not an MP isn't it, telling the British people they're stupid is not a fantastic idea.
