Scottish Government moving the goalposts

[The AuldYin]

Scotland doesn't have any debt, it all belongs to the UK. If England wanted to retain the rights as a successor state, then it keeps the so-called debt. Otherwise England can also get its independence from the UK and we can split everything evenly. And the UK doesn't borrow money, it creates it. By the way, Faroe Islands managed to borrow a fair chunk just recently, wonder how they managed that. Maybe the Bank of England will give us a loan since a Scot created it.

So if me and the wife get a huge mortgage then get divorced we don't have to pay it? That's genius, we're going to try it. Can I tell the mortgage company you said it was OK?

Who's the 3rd party who owns the loans/debts when it comes to the UK? Oh that's right, it's the UK. Scotland is part of the UK, it doesn't owe anything to it.
