OK, I don't rant very well. My blood rarely boils over something that isn't largely pointless to the wider population.
But he may well be a Trotskyist who takes a dodgy photo, and I may well be a reactionary recidivist, who also takes a dodgy photo, but I found his diatribe strangely warming to the cockles of my heart. Whatever the hell they are.
So if Scotland does secede, Royal Bank of Scotland will relocate its HQ to London, so that it's still protected by the Bank of England. Or something.
But wouldn't the whole name become a misnomer? It couldn't be a Royal and Scotland (unless Scotland remained in the commonwealth under Betty, but what's the point of gaining independence if you can't also tell the monarchy to go fuck themselves?)
Seems odd that if RBS goes bust the BoE will pick up the tab, not the Scots, but hey-ho.
I didn't think for the world that jobs would move en masse, that makes not sense at all. But I'd imagine that at least a few would have to move to establish a London HQ.
Just watched the big big big big big big debate. Galloway has fucking lost it. Greens came over very well (particularly the 'fairer is more important than richer' point).
The Greens may end up as a credible opposition party up here - they've got a lot of support thanks to everyone refusing to touch the Lib Dems with anything shorter than a very long bargepole.
I think No are probably going to scrape a win here, but I hope that the closeness of it and the large engagement of people means some improvements come along with it.
