I'm not massively surprised that RBS and Lloyds (both largely owned by the UK gov) are saying exactly what the UK gov would like them to say.
It's still unclear wether it is a brass plaque or operations - most of which are already based in London - they are talking about. So the actual impact on the Scottish economy in the event of a relocation is difficult to speculate on. (I used to work for RBS btw, and if both mainframes are still based at Fettes and Gogaburn it's not exactly straightforward for them to up sticks and move operations).
You could argue that the banks trying to influence democratic process is one of the reasons Scotland might want to run her own affairs.
- yeah, that's why I mentioned it maybe being seen as a positive by the Yes vote. A real clean break from the old system.Wolfboy
