The Bank of Scotland were staunch supporters of the cause in 1745. Now is not the time to forget our friends.
Scotland needs The Bank of Scotland headquartered in Scotland and serving the needs of the Scottish people
What Scotland needs now is a bank providing customer oriented services that is focused on Scotland and the long term development of the nation. A bank
that invests in Scotland and understands the bricks and mortar, the inner fibre of the place. A bank with local branches in tune with the particular problems
of the local area. A bank with local managers that have empathy for their customers and understand the nature of the collateral that is on offer in a loan
request.
Banking is a commercial activity. Banks have to make a profit. However the nature of banking means that any bank has to be guilty of gross negligence before
red numbers appear on the balance sheet.
In the past ten years, both The Bank of Scotland and The Royal Bank of Scotland have abandoned their customer base
in Scotland in the pursuit of riches in England and abroad. The standard rate of return from banking services in Scotland weren't enough for the megalomaniacs
in charge who were hell bent on World Domination.
Sic transit gloria!
Neither bank is offering an acceptable service in Scotland.
RBS are offering "Free financial consultation" in their branches.
Another con in a long line of confidence tricks. A "Free financial consultation" means that the bank learns all of your financial details at no cost.
They can then offer you one of their financial products, likely to be profitable for the bank. Have your lawyer read the fine print before you sign on the
dotted line.
There will be a Scottish Jacobite administration in 2011.
Scotland will be a free and independent nation.
We will make the decisions that are best
for Scotland
The Bank of Scotland will be headquartered in Edinburgh and serving the needs of Scotland.
Scotland will have a stock exchange trading the stock of Scottish Companies and attracting investment in Scotland.
The trading of derivatives and the holding of derivatives by Scottish Companies will be banned.
The currency will be the Euro.
Short selling is part of normal market activity and will be allowed.
In an opaque market, short selling is a problem since the market has no way to value any
targeted stock. In a transparent market place the value of each and every listed company is apparent to all.
Short sellers can not determine the value of a stock.
The Scottish Accountancy Code will be reviewed to ensure that listed assets are directly connected to a bed rock of value.
The reputation of Scotland as a country of financial probity and accumen will be restored.
In the past week, Gordon Brown has been prominent in greasing the skids for the merger of HBOS and Lloyds TSB. An inevitable consequence would be the move
of The Bank of Scotland to London both in the sense of decision making and physical location.
This must not happen.
I had planned a trip to Moscow next week. As part of the forward planning for the trip, I sent an e-mail to the British Embassy in Moscow asking them to arrange
for me to meet Russian investors who would be interested in investing in Scotland.
The full e-mail exchange follows.
The British Embassy in Moscow has no interest in helping find inward investors in Scotland. They will help Scots who want to invest in Russia!
Gordon Brown and his toxic debts have to go.
Let's bring honour back to the good name of Prudence.

Dear Mr John Black
The Trade Team here at the British Embassy Moscow is not currently focussed on attracting Inward Investment to the UK. Our work is centred around the needs of UK companies coming to Russia and helping theme to gain market access. Therefore I am unable to supply a list of contacts as requested.
If you are able to send more details of your proposed investment vehicle I could perhaps forward this, if appropriate to Inward Investment focussed teams based in the UK. I'm not sure if the British Embassy is in a position to arrange meetings with the Russian Government for minor UK political parties. I have sought guidance on this and will update you on this matter.
Regards
Fiona Kushvid

Irina Scherban,
My name is John Black. I am the leader of The Scottish Jacobite Party. A couple of minutes on Google
will confirm these facts.
I expect to be in Moscow on October 2nd and 3rd. Among other things, I will be meeting with Mikhail
Danilov of ITEP.
I am working on an investment vehicle to allow foreign investors to benefit from business opportunities in Scotland.
Any contacts you can provide within Russian financial circles to this end would be most helpful.
Since I am also a politician, I wonder if it
would be possible to arrange an appointment with someone in Prime Minister Putin's office.
Best wishes,
John Black
The Scottish Jacobite Party
