It's important to distinguish between relocating the plaque that says "RBS HQ" and relocating the employees - and I believe the employees have already been reassured. If there wasn't an economic reason for having thousands of employees in Scotland rather than anywhere else in the world, those jobs would already have been lost.

No matter how right you are, the UK media have picked up that "RBS will move" soundbite and run with it - so annoyingly a great deal of Scots have got "Yes = lose lots of jobs immediately" in their heads.
