It's been the case since 1709 that Scottish coins were produced by the Royal Mint. This was all part of a plan to standardise the currency across the UK to ensure the same metal content across the board. Scottish banks can print paper money, one still even produces £1 notes, because they are in effect just promisary notes.

No need. The Royal Mint is a private company and creates coins for 60 different countries. Would be much cheaper to just sign a contract making us number 61.

BIG FAT LIE!

The city fat cat's went along with the deception, believing the lie because it was "Good" for them.
They all grabbed huge slices of the investment and sold it almost immediately for huge profits.

Meanwhile the employees of the Royal mail, whilst supposedly having their own shares, were banned from selling them for three years!
So they know the Government lied.
Their shares will no doubt be picked up for a song in a year or two as the Royal mail crashes and the fat cats move in once more to asset strip the company, and in the process making obscene profits once more.
<I have abandoned the Royal Mail for good!
I send everything via My Hermes now>

So, to recap; Fat cat's truth (They would have you believe)
Royal Mail employees and the country at large, lied to. Another man's blatant lie. (And that's the truth! )

And, reportedly, these were the same people advising the government at what price the shares should be floated at. Something stinks.

Or how about, in the event of a Scottish "Yes" vote.

We will be expelled from the EU and will find it difficult to be re-admitted. Usually quickly followed by: We will be forced to join the Euro.

They can't both be true.

N.O.P(National Opinion Poll) is the best political poll if they still have that.
If So What does it say about the No/Yes Vote
