Hammer to the Scots?

 Steven Kellow    Politics  

Perhaps one of the most significant events of the Scottish independence referendum campaign so far came yesterday as George Osborne announced definitively that should Scotland vote Yes in September, they will not be allowed to share the British Pound Sterling in a currency union with the continuing UK.  To add further weight to the statement, he was joined by the most senior financial representatives of the two other major UK political parties: Danny Alexander (Lib Dem, Chief Secretary to the Treasury) and Ed Balls (Labour, — Read more →
