I didn't read anything just heard it on the news ......

Not looking so rosy now, Joe;

 

The heads of Shell and BP say Salmond is lying about oil and gas reserves.

 

Scotlands famous institutions, Royal Bank of Scotland and Scottish Widows, (as well as other banks, insurance companies and financial institutions) say they will relocate to England.

 

Major supermarkets like Tescos and Sainsburys say prices in Scotland will rise as delivery and supply prices are currently evened out across the UK, but an independent Scotland would pay higher costs.

 

Todays polls show a "no" lead of around 6 %........ people are now realising the cost of independence, and that there would be no going back. I wonder how Joe and Salmond will spin all this ?

Dear colleagues

We have today made a statement to the market (see below), providing information on our contingency planning in the event of a Yes vote in next week’s referendum on Scottish independence. As you will have seen over the last twenty four hours, other Scottish headquartered financial institutions have made public statements about their intentions. This served to fuel media speculation about our own plans, and in those circumstances, it became necessary for us to update the market on aspects of our contingency planning.

It is my view as Chief Executive that any decision to move our registered headquarters should have no impact on everyday banking services used by our customers in Scotland and the rest of the British Isles. This is a technical procedure regarding the location of our registered head office. It is not an intention to move operations or jobs.

Our current business in Scotland, including the personal and business bank, IT and operations, human resources and many other functions, are here because of the skills and knowledge of our people, and the sound business environment. So far, I see no reason why this would change should we implement our contingency plans.

It is always my aim to ensure we inform our staff about such issues at the earliest opportunity. I know many of you will have already heard about this first in the media. My apologies for that, on this occasion this was unavoidable.

Over the next week, and beyond, we will continue to update you whenever appropriate.

tesco etc comfirmed that was shite, didnt you read one of my earlier posts about that

 

 

 

 

Remember when standard life threatend to do the same in 1997 did they do it?

 

Some more info today:

 

 

Martin Gilbert, Chief Executive of Aberdeen Asset Management (including Scottish Widows Investment Partnership), has backed the economy of an independent Scotland to be a success. The entrepreneur, who co-founded the company in 1983, said last night to the BBC that “An independent Scotland would be a great success.”

Gilbert’s company is one of the largest business organisations in Scotland with substantial holdings of over £350 billion. It’s success is built on both its intellectual capital and Scotland’s advantages in the financial services sector.

Gilbert’s vote of confidence in Scotland’s strengths was matched by Sir Angus Grossart, Chair of Edinburgh bank Nobel Grossart, who said that the referendum’s impact on market instability has been “severely overstated”. He continued “To hear some of the comments you almost expect people to be predicting a plague of locusts or mice next.”

 

They have made plans just incase

Joe, Shell and BP have said catergorically that Salmond has overestimated the oil and gas supplies and revenue ! There is no way anyone can spin that without saying Salmond is telling the truth and Shell/BP are lying. I'm prepared to see both sides and weigh the evidence, in this case I tend to believe Shell/BP

 

PS, I'm watching Sky News right now, and Salmond is demanding an inquiry into why the RBS news about relocating to London was released now, rather than after the vote !!!! Does he not want Scotish people to know the ramifications of a "yes" vote, until it's to late ?

Joe, you cherry pick the reports to suit your argument; I read and evaluate both sides of the debate. Which ever is right or wrong, the Scottish people deserve to hear ALL the facts. Once again, why is Salmond demanding an inquiry into the RBS news being released before the vote. Why does he not want the Scottish people to hear the bad, as well as the good news ???

Joe, when you have no answer to a question, (like the one about Salmond wanting an inquiry into the RBS release), you post some rhetoric by your Dear Leader, then say you're going out ! Hardly a good argument or refuting of the facts.
