Every commentator says Scotland is going to keep those things.

I fear that Murdo may know something that we don't: is he saying that the English Tories (who will find it hard to lose Westminster without Scotland) are going to hold onto Scottish waters ? Are they prepared to sends the Navy in to protect the oil rigs ?
BP and Shell still have their head offices in London; what does Scotland do if they continue to send the oil royalty cheque to London ?

Does Nicola have to have the Scottish forces under her command as soon as the referendum result is announced ? And the Welsh troops ready to keep out of it ?
