What Happens to Royal Bank of Scotland if Scotland Goes Independent

The Royal Bank of Scotland is arguably the worst bank in the world as it almost single-handedly took down the British economy.  This made a folk anti-hero out of Sir Fred Goodwin, the PeeWee Herman of Big Top Banking.

The story of the World's Biggest Welfare Queen (i.e. RBS) wasn't that interesting to me and they may still be in the hole to the British government after all these years for all the money it took to prevent that corrupt mass of bestiality from failing.

Of course, Sir Fred Goodwin was jailed in disgrace for what he did, yes.  Well, no.  He got a super-injunction against English papers saying bad things about him (seriously) and he lives in luxury to this day, unlike the countless people he destroyed.  The tabloids are just dying to tell the story of some hooker he was seeing for quite some while but they can't because of the super-injunction.  The hooker was real, it's the super-injunction that's bullshit.

There was great satisfaction when I read Goodwin lost his knighthood.  I had thought even that was retained but it was not.  However, he does live on a pension with a dollar equivalent of more than $1.1M annually.  Sometimes the sadness of his pain overwhelms, doesn't it.

So, Scotland wins its independence and then what happens.

RBS and NatWest are all the same thing so there is no real independence from London for RBS.  However, if Scotland takes independence, then what.

RBS cut off my medical insurance two weeks after my shoulder surgery when therapy was supposed to run for a year.  I lost everything.  They did nothing.  Welcome to big corporate banking.

So it won't result in any huge trauma if RBS were to burn to the ground but will it.  Maybe more or less free from London politicians the bank becomes honest, the sun starts shining and all the munchkins start dancing.  Yep, maybe.

Or maybe Scots just say, shite, enjoy the whisky even if you gorilla Yanks canna spell it correctly.  We dinna all work for fookin' RBS.
