Scotland would most probably need to take out loans to fund itself the first couple of years, which would be a terrifying prospect given that it would have no status as a creditor and would probably receive a very bad credit rating. As such, any loan would be at a hideous rate. This goes for everything theyd take loans out on. And there would be a lot to do if they were going it alone.
Also, with regards to "the oil", any offshore rigs are sited under agreements with the UK, not Scotland: renegotiations would need to take place to work that out, and youre dreaming if England would just say that Scotland could have it.
Plus aye, Salmond is a fat wank.
