Do you really think this is a possible outcome if there is a vote for independence? For me I think any divorce costs money and the division of assets and liabilities is never what either side thins it should be. If we had to take on 10% of the National debt that seems a pro rata way of dividing the debt. There may be a different way of calculating the split but I really don't think that there is any chance of Scotland avoiding a share of the National debt. Sorry this topic has cropped up because this thread was doing quite well imo discussing drugs.
