For all Salmond's bullshit rhetoric, the whole 'give us sterling or else' line has to be the worst bluff in recent years. Followed to its logical conclusion it'd leave Scotland with no currency union and a credit rating worse than Greece as to cave to threats like that would be political suicide for any of the mainstream UK parties.
In fairness, in the event of a 'Yes' vote, fucking Independent Scotland off will be a big vote winner in England and Wales so any concessions on splitting former Union assets is going to be a hard sell.
I still can't understand how Salmond got elected up there anyway, I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't want to give the oily little shyster a slap.
