Scotland would also be left with the Bank of Scotland’s bad debt. On the plus side, they would be free from the EU’s control.

As with Greece, the rest of the Eurotrash won’t be reasonably solid until they quit lying about how much their debt actually is. It would clearly be in their best interest to make the Euro work but it ain’t really happening until they ‘fess up.
