Hysterin i London (2)

En läsare mejlade mig och frågade om det verkligen rådde hysteri i London inför nästa torsdags folkomröstning i Skottland.

Här ett svar från dagens The Times:

Fears that Scotland will vote for independence have prompted the biggest  sell-off of British investments since the collapse of the Wall Street bank  Lehman Brothers in 2008. 

Nearly £17 billion of UK shares, bonds and other financial assets were dumped  by investors over the past month, as leading figures from the global  business community warned that the Scottish economy faced disaster if it  separated from the rest of the United Kingdom.
