    Scotland expected to vote for independence and introduce its own currency after..

    Brexit... so lets talk about Scottish independence instead.

    Very predictable outcome. And JP Morgen have a record for right. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Unless you're living in Scotland, in which case party!!


    Scotland is on course to hold a referendum to vote for independence and introduce its own currency before the UK leaves the European Union in 2019, JP Morgan has said.

    Malcolm Barr, an economist at JP Morgan, said that there will be “pressure to hold a new referendum on Scottish independence” as the UK seeks a deal with the EU following its vote to leave the European project.

    “Our base case is that Scotland will vote for independence and institute a new currency at that point [2019],” Barr said in a note to clients on Wednesday.

    The note also stated that the UK will be unsuccessful in its negotiating process.

    UK lawmakers are expected to try and establish access to the single market without accepting free movement of labour or contribution to the EU budget.

    This means that UK is likely to end with “curtailed” access to Europe’s market, according to JP Morgan.

    “The hit from EU exit will demonstrate itself as a persistent drag on a positive growth rate, rather than generating an on-going contraction,” JP Morgan said.

          In the same way May was expected to increase her majority?

            The only way it will happen is if SNP contests all 650 seats.

              Why would the Scots need "their own currency"? Are they worried they won't be allowed into the Eurozone?

              Oh, and here's a tip, Ms Sturgeon. If you want independence, all you have to do is allow the English to vote, and we'll promise to support you if you promise we'll never again have to listen to your continuous whining about what a bunch of utter bastards we all are. OK?

                One day the Scots will realise that Sturgeon is only interested in being in charge of her own country and all this independence nonsense (supported by well under half the population of Scotland incidentally so with no chance of succeeding) is her way of achieving it.

                Perhaps if her "government" concentrated on fixing the things that are going wrong in Scotland instead of the SNP's fantasyland dreams of world domination, we might be more sympathetic

                  It's not her country. You make her sound like the Turkish president residing in grand palaces.

                  What you mean like the Brexit pursuing Tories ignoring the failing infrastructure and economic meltdown in favour of jingoistic lust?

                    Right now monopoly money is holding more value than the Sterling.
