The BBC held a conference to discuss Scottish Independence.

Here, we have BBC Journalist Stephanie Flanders talking about facts and figures. Unfortunately, her opening figures are incorrect, but she carries on regardless, making some light-hearted comments that help to justify the figures she has picked to make her points.

The talk introduces financial concerns about Scotlands currency, the global picture, credit rating and how the economy would fare. Signs of the constant scaremongering about currency union (which dominated much of the future debate) is briefly touched on.
