Westminster behaving like a two-bit pimp - Mark McNaught, Newsnet Scotland. Denying Scots the pound; thas col pimpin. During George Osbornes hectoring speech on currency union, he declared A vote to leave the UK is also a vote to leave these unions, and that There is no legal reason why the rest of the UK would need to share its currency with Scotland. Instead of the three parties unifying over what additional powers to allocate to Scotland in the event of a no vote, they unify to threaten to deprive Scots of their own currency. Revolting. Westminster is acting like a strung-out abusive pimp, berating his women as nothing without him, completely dependent and submissive, and threatening to beat them if they escape. I imagined a cartoon of Big Ben in a zoot suit grabbing a bedraggled Scottish woman, slapping her around, and yelling You ain nuttin widout me bish! I made you! You wouldun las five minit on da street widout me. I own you. You aint goin nowhere. Now ged out der an make me sum money! Any artists out there? In case there was ever any doubt, Scots must now realise the union has never been an equal partnership. Vote yes, run, and never look back. Imagine what Westminster has in mind if Scots actually vote no to keep them in permanent submission, keep the oil money flowing to the UK treasury, and have a place to park their WMDs. Apparently, Scots arent good for anything else, and dont deserve the pound if they seek a better future. The Sterling zone is currently comprised of the UK, Ascension and Tristan de Cunha, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, and the British Indian Ocean Territory. The Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey are in formal currency union with the UK, and are Crown Dependencies. Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, and St. Helena use a currency board to peg their pound to the UK pound. Unofficial users include Uganda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Rwanda, Malawi, Botswana, and Mirpur in Kashmir Pakistan. newsnetscotland/index.php/scottish-opinion/8741-westminster-behaving-like-a-two-bit-pimp.
