I'm pretty sure that it was HM Government that nationalised RBS and put a large capital injection into Lloyds, not the US Federal government.

Did you get to read the comments before they closed them - there were some great ones along the lines of "Independent Scotland won't need the Financial Services industry anyway - we'll be better off without it and returning to our industrial roots"

I asked SNP on what it's immigration policy would be for those with UK passports and they said that there would be no restrictions at all on UK passport holders moving to and working in Scotland.

Re: the Scottish independence issue
So no land border controls? Are they just leaving the land border open because they assume that anyone coming in that way is either an England/Wales resident, or has passed through other UK border controls? Are they planning anything for sea or air access, or is everything going to be totally open access...?

Perhaps the "yes" camp are secretly hoping "no" wins. I mean why bother wasting all that time and money planning out all the fiddly bits if the vote goes "no", you'd have done all that planning for nothing.
