Let's face it no currency union then WE carry no proportion of debt!<br /><br />There is a second advantage to wee Ozzy denying us a currency union and that is we would be free to investigate the creation of our own independent currency similarly to that suggested by Max Keiser.<br /><br />http://rt.com/shows/keiser-report/episode-561-max-keiser-392/<br /><br />Oh don't forget Iceland is creating its own cryptocurrency soon as well.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency<br /><br />http://auroracoin.org/Arbroath 1320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-43805785170340580242014-02-11T23:02:31.516+00:002014-02-11T23:02:31.516+00:00Wow... which one to pick...

It won't matter who gains power in 2015, swinging cuts will be made, and austerity will reign supreme for many years to come.<br /><br />Do Scots really want to be part of such a bleak and depressing future, where cuts matter more than people, or do we choose to go our own way and plan for a better more prosperous society, surely the latter option must prevail.
