> I'm honestly surprised that you should say that the video was biased in some way especially as it was released by the organisation you recommended, the NEISR. I thought it was pretty much down the line factual.
Really! I hadn't watched it - only read the papers on ageing population and a blog on how debt would be split which I thought were good though neither was particularly good for the yes camp. I've always thought of NIESR as unbiased commentators, perhaps a good thing I didn't know before I watched it. I'll get back to you with points I take issue with.
(Main one was that it suggests that Scotland would have to pay higher interest rates on existing UK debt)
> Re the letter. The point is not whether you agree with it but that you understand what the basis for rejecting a currency union is. There is an awful lot of uninformed nonsense and speculation surrounding this issue and there's no harm with familiarising yourself with key documents.
The point is that it purports to be unbias Civil Service advice and it's not. Again, I'll get back to you with the things I take issue with.
